Quote for the day:

"This must be Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays."

- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"





In the news:

Jobless claims surge last week to the highest level since early October and post the biggest weekly jump since September 2005 after Hurricane Katrina.

MBIA, the world's largest bond insurer, posted its highest quarerly loss ever of $2.3 billion. But MBIA's stock price is higher today after the company's CEO said on its conference call that while it will see big losses this year, it has the resources it needs to maintain its current financial strength rating.
