Bullets

Whew. This month is as busy as any. I found out yesterday that I'm going to lose a tooth, so that really stinks. Fortunately, it's a back tooth, so my beautiful smile won't be affected, and it might last me another ten years. The dentist couldn't say. \* \* \* \* \* \* \* USA Today reported this week that ordinary investors are staying away from stocks. Barry Ritholtz says it's no surprise: “between the run of scandals in the 1990s and 2000s, the dot-com implosion, analyst scandal, the 2007-09 crash, housing collapse, the flash crash and HFT, mom and pop have taken their ball and gone home.” Amen to that. If you think the game isn't rigged, you're smoking crack. If you think it's rigged but you have it figured out, you're delusional . . . or you need to give me a call with some stock picks\* \* \* \* \* \* \* Since starting the caveman diet, I have slashed back on sugar dramatically. When I do splurge, I normally splurge on chocolate, and when I buy the chocolate, I normally reward myself with some higher-end fare (Cadbury at a minimum, often higher). I've really come to enjoy this mini-hobby, but I doubt I'll pay to buy [the five chocolates featured at this *Forbes* piece](http://www.forbes.com/sites/carolpinchefsky/2012/04/27/the-five-best-chocolate-bars-youve-never-tasted/?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* Are there conservative rock songs? Yes, maybe as many as 50\. [Here's a list assembled in 2006 at *National Review*](http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/217737/rockin-right/john-j-miller?ref=thedailyeudemon.com). \* \* \* \* \* \* \* What would you have needed 30 years ago to match what your iPhone can do now?
