Army Post Road

     I wish to offer my congratulations to CNBC for having some of the most attractive women in television; in their stable of hot reporteressas they have Erin Burnett, Liz Clayman, Melissa Francis, and Maria Bartiromo that regularly appear during each business day.  Yum.
    Watching CNBC all day long is definitely something that is going to get cut way back starting next week.  That'll be a huge adjustment not being able to keep a fix on what exactly is happening in the markets during the day.  I don't trade hardly any more often than maybe once or twice a month (hopefully that will be something we can improve soon) so missing out on every broadcast moment of CNBC during the trading day won't be much of a material loss but it will be a blow to the part of my personality that is Type-A.
     I decided that I'm going to open an online savings account that pays a super-duper high interest rate.  Why not take up a large, reputable bank on their offer to pay me more than 4.5% for my money?  Jonathan at My Money Blog has a pretty good comparison chart of the four best online accounts.  The information is all good except most of the banks have updated the interest rate they're paying by either increasing them outright or introducing some very nice promotional offers.  Most of these banks offer some sort of referral reward where the new account opener gets $25 and whomever referred them gets $10 or something along those lines.  Once I get my account set up I'll post more details incase people want to get more free money from these banks.
     I'm heading for Iowa City soon (last trip there :'-( ) so I've got some stuff to do before then.  I'm out.
