…but just like on Thanksgiving, you feel the pain after that big dinner. On Friday’s shortened session, the stock market managed a rally…not that it mattered because nobody was home! That is how the Dow tacked on 1.2% on volume of just 788M shares or about half a normal session. The S&P 500 was also up 1% but the Nasdaq Composite barely rose as did Dow Transports (on an inside day), while the Nasdaq 100 fell 0.6% on an inside day. Energy also had an inside day falling 0.9%, as did the SOX which fell 1.5% to take honors as worst performer. Oddly, the Russell 2000 managed to climb 0.9% by 2:1? Also losing were Oil Services, Housing and the Nasdaq Composite.
The overnight markets are a shambles. Why didn’t anyone ask on Wednesday AND Friday why the stock market rallied amid a major terrorist attack in Mumbai, India? Does that [...]

Over many generations, horse racing was referred to as ‘the sport of kings’. Here are the top ten reasons why poker is considered the new sport of kings for the twenty-first century. 1. Anyone can learn poker. It is said of poker that it takes ‘a minute to learn but a lifetime to master’. Anybody can sit in to a game of poker just minutes after learning the game. It may take you a little longer to make your first million from it though. 2. Poker isn’t just one game. Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Razz

I have a new job. As you might remember in a previous post, I was pretty “over” journalism when I left my last job. Even though the people I worked with were great and the actual job was pretty chill, I got burnt out on a lot of the details, most specifically the design aspect of the job. While I do have design skills, it’s not what I’m great at or at least not what I love doing. I love letting pros do the work for me. For instance, look at this site. I can write the garbled mess that you se

I love letting pros do the work for me. For instance, look at this site. I can write the garbled mess that you see here, but I’d much rather let an established design artist like Ashlee Goodwin make it look pretty. By the way, Ashlee and I are in discussions to redesign the site with a more Las Vegas feel, so stay tuned.
I told myself when I left Stigler that I didn’t want to [...]

From Norm’s Vegas Confidential column November 24, 2008:
Michael Phelps’ passion for poker isn’t the only reason he’s been showing up in Las Vegas.
The 14-time Olympic swimming gold medalist has been seen in the company of a fetching brunette who works at the Palms.
He was spotted at Moon nightclub on Saturday and having lunch earlier at Canyon Gate Country Club.
He’s definitely getting into the swim of things in the dating pool. Last month he was spotted arriving at a Baltimore airport in the company of Nicole Johnson, runner-up in the 2007 Miss California USA pageant.
Since winning a record eight gold medals in the Beijing Summer Olympics, Phelps has spent a considerable amount of time in Las Vegas, taking poker lessons from pros, so he can enter the World Series of Poker next year.
