I am now feeling absolutely awful about the year now. I know the January effect is more myth than reality, but I have this knot in the pit of my stomach when it comes to the markets this year. This country can’t handle Crash 2.0.

Great way to kick off the new year. Not sure of the catalysts for the day, as I was a bit consumed with the furnace repairman.

Housing starts were the bugger today. Continued little whispers of “What if it’s not really all over”?
Yeah, I don’t like hearing it either.
On an unrelated note, how many CNBC viewers saw the Revolution Money segment and thought, “Hey! It’s Uncle Ted!!” (I suppose you’d have to be a Caps fan to understand.)
I have your channel on most of the day. (With the exception of 11AM to noon, because SportsCenter is on and Larry Kudlow makes me grind my teeth.)
Great reporting, great people.
However, if I have to listen to Charlie Gasparino plug his damn book one more time, I think I will throw something at the TV set.
Please, get him to back off – by now, everyone knows that he has a book out.
Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that we have a good jobs number tomorrow.
