Scott Sloan had me on to talk about the G-20 summit and the potential for a double dip recession.

What’d I say?

You’ll have to listen here.

I was on with Eddie Fingers on Friday talking BP’s fun in the gulf.  The podcast is here.  Today I was on with Scott Sloan talking about the fact that 75% of folks who the government helped with their mortgages are defaulting again.  That one is here.

Yesterday, Eddie & Tracy had me on to talk about gold (is it a boom) and BP…and other interests my Bellevue neighbor Tracy has.  You can listen here.

My friend Jimmy Dinsmore sent me a fundraiser request. He’s riding 18.2 miles as a fundraiser for cancer research. What shocked me about this is Jimmie was born with spina bifida. Doctors told his parents he wouldn’t be able to walk. Thirteen surgeries and a lot of work proved them wrong.

Last year Jimmy got inspired to walk a 5k when his daughter’s teacher fell ill. He wrote “I’m sending this to anyone who might be able to help with any small little donation for my cause. My daughter’s teacher is 32 and is battling breast cancer right now. So I’m walking for her.  The 3.1 miles will be a little bit of a challenge for someone like me.”

No kidding.

This year he’s going 18.2 miles on a bike.  Every mile is going to be a challenge.

Link to donate is here.

Leave it to Tracy to work in strippers into my serious market commentary…always fun.

On Wednesday, Scott Sloan asked me to talk about the government cutting out the banks in the student loan program (part of the health care bill).  Is it good? Bad?

One point of clarification: I’ve never drank an Appletini.
