Consumer spending was weak in May, due to high gas prices LINK ][LINK]

quote:

Consumer spending was unchanged last month, the Commerce Department said Monday. That was the worst result since September 2009. And when adjusted for inflation, spending actually dropped 0.1%.
April's consumer spending figures were revised to show a similar decline when adjusting for inflation. It marked the first decline in inflation-adjusted spending since January 2010.
Incomes rose 0.3% for the second straight month. But adjusted for inflation, after-tax incomes increased only 0.1% in May, after falling the same amount in the previous month.

Mid-August I think. I am probably just going to sit tight till L2 comes back. People don't really hire right now, and if it comes back with a pass, I am obviously in a much better position, whereas if it comes back with a fail, I'm not really disadvantaged relative to current status. Right now I'm just taking it easy and enjoying (in no particular order):

1) not studying
2) rebuilding my information edge reading the firehose of information
3) not being overwhelmed at work
4) summer time in nola
5) getting drunk
6) hoes
7) eating and cooking delicious food

Since last week I've cleared about 4 months of S&P and Fitch reports, countless Breakfast w Dave's, have managed to get what I would call a solid handle back on daily newsflow in econ/tech/fin/acct/etc. Check out the F&D Board to see the culinary evil scientist masterpiece that's going to happen in about an hour.

While you're being a food scientist, if you could somehow reverse engineer the recipe for Elizabeth's Grillades and Grits, I would be most indebted to you.

I like the social gaming space. I didn't at first but quickly realized that, yes, you must be an idiot to pay actual money for fake online items but also that, yes, our world is rife with idiots.

Another one gone, fizz. At least these guys were nice about it though. By voluntarily de-listing they've saved regulators time and resources I'm sure, so that now the SEC can think about what not to investigate next.
