...And Stocks Go Up

Nothing seems to be able to stop the US stock market's upward trend. Not civil war in Libya, not governments toppling in Egypt and Tunisia, not $100 oil, not three years of declining home prices, not 15% real unemployment, not even and 8.9 mag earthquake in the world's third-largest economy. (More here, and video here and here.)

Remember: Markets are rational.

So, a woman walks into a courthouse with a monkey in her bra. No, that's not the start of a bad joke. A woman walked into a courthouse with a monkey in her bra. The best part, as usual, is at the very bottom of the article:

And this guy makes more money than you do.

Have a nice day.
