The Cav Market

January 26, 2006

Atlanta — The Cavaliers index is up today, as traders responded to their three-game winning streak.  Futures, however, remained unchanged as investors were still wary of the team’s inconsistency and the general softness of their last three opponents.
It sounds like I know what I’m talking about, right.  Like I missed my calling and I should’ve [...]

Small losses, small steps

Questions burning in my e-mail inbox

January 1, 2006

1. Larry Hughes and LeBron James exchanged some words, as did many Cavs players when they lost seven on nine games.  There is no rift between them and, in case no one has been watching, Hughes level of play has been very good during this currently winning spell.  I wrote about this a few weeks [...]
