I Am A Winner

I have gotten a few of these in the past few days – they seem to be slipping through the old spam filter. Clearly as a business idea this sort of thing works, otherwise they wouldn’t do it.

Why not even exercise will undo the harm of sitting all day

A large review recently published in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute confirms what we’ve been hearing for years: Sitting can be fatal. It’s been linked to cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In this latest meta-analysis, Daniela Schmid and Michael F. Leitzmann of the University of Regensburg in Germany analyzed 43 observational studies, amounting to more than 4 million people’s answers to questions…

Dow

Well….I am still long the Dow, boring that it is. The interesting thing about markets at or around new highs is the emotional problems they seem to bring.
