Indeed it is, just so they have an excuse to manipulate the markets that is all that matters for the traders to get filthy rich.

Well, it only took me a year and a half, but I finally ordered a new TV.  It was more than I wanted to pay, but it seemed like a good deal and had everything I wanted.  This weeks Best Buy ad has a Samsung UN60JU7090FXZA for $999.99.  Even thou at the time, there was no reviews, so I blindly bought it, relaying on Samsung being a good brand.  What I finally decided I wanted was 60", 4k, 4k UHD Upscaling, 3D, Motion Rate 240, Quad-Core Processor, and Smart Features.  It sounded like a lot of features for the price.  Now people are posting reviews (allot of good reviews, and some not so good.)  They are saying that this is a special tv released for the Super Bowl sale.  The bad is, sound is ok, but I sort of expected that.  And the other is, they are saying the screen is not made by Samsung and is a cheaper screen made by Sharp.  Of course, if I wanted the better features, than we're talking, what, $1,800 and up.  Anyway, it's coming now, so that's that at the moment.

When I clicked the make purchase button, my phone immediately rang.  It was a call stating that my credit card was being used fraudulently.  It scared the hell out of me.  I checked to make sure I was on the correct website, and I had made sure it was a secure (Lock) on the website before purchase.  I called my credit card company and check to see what was going on.  It turns out that my credit card company had various flags that go off is fraud is suspected.  Mine was, 1. A store that I had never used my credit card. 2. Larger amount than normal (I guess they are used to only seeing $14 5 packs of cigars), 3. Electronics.  Even thou it was sort of a pain in the ass, I appreciate the added security. 

Well, that's the weekend tv story.

Well, congrats on that timely decision Dad.  Ought to pick up an inexpensive receiver and speakers and you'll be all set.

Have you ever got accurate financial information from the financial news channels on cable tv...?

Financial Channels scroll the quotes correctly and that is more than the weather people can do right as they can't even look out the window and get it right.

My drinking friend's 401k took a nose dive about 10 years ago.  So he subscribed to the Motley Fool for a year, and followed their advice, changing his 401k stocks to their recommendation ones.  He said his 401k turned around and started making really good money. I believe he said his 401k had dropped to $40,000 and during the next 5 years went to around $120,000.
