ENJOY THE VIEW, MORE FUN THEN MLPS!



Last night's view from the Rainbow Room at the WNBC Christmas Party. Somebody needed to wash the windows on the 65th floor but the Empire State Building looks terrific.

And of course there is the famous Christmas Tree (yes it is still a Christmas Tree) which with the new politicallly and enviornmentally correct lights looks beautiful!

Which is better to look at the tree above or the chart below?

Another day where the dow was up nearly 200 points. So we've had almost 400 points in 2 days and we are 800 points above the lows in August and November and MLPS are no where. My God even financial and housing stocks have been going up. How bad is that?

Stargas Partners (SGU) which pays no distribution and is in the heating oil business posts earnings this morning. This one is planning to pay a distribution next year based on its reorganixation a few years ago. Not sure how this report puts that prospect. No other news and no upgrades or downgrades.

My horse Farleyshelonwheels runs today in the first race at Aqueduct. Trainer says he's been kicking down the barn door wanting to run. Not sure of the competition but we are ready. Morning line is 4-1. I'll be at the race track for the 12:30 pm post.

"Gather those Rosebuds"....

Joe, as I see from your blog today that you are New York based.

Perhaps then it's proper to note here the sad recent passing of one of the Greatest New York Financial commentators... Larry Wachtel.

His colorful commentary helped pique my interest in investing, and helped me understand the behind the scenes action that caused the day's market moves.

I didn't know the man, but I wlll miss him, especially his trademark
"Gather those Rosebuds".
