Watch out: Silver is Set to Soar

Sorry, no blogging: American Idol is on

I’ll admit it. I watch American Idol.

There. I said it.

But I do have to wonder in this first week as the viewers had to endure 24 singers- what am I doing spending 2 hours on two consecutive nights watching this stuff? That’s four hours (plus the calling to friends to discuss the singers more in-depth.) It could be up to six hours just on this one crazy, dumb tv show.

Pathetic, I know.

There are more important things to be worrying about like:

- the hottest inflation rate in several years
- record gold prices
- record crude prices

And on and on and on.

Not to mention the housing bust, of which I’ve spent a lot of time discussing as well.

But alas, if you watch a bunch of young (and some not so young) singers for several hours every night (even if you DO have a DVR and race through the commercials), that doesn’t leave you much time for blogging (or anything else for that matter.)

For this week, bare with me. I’m sorry. Idol is on and I’m wasting my time, er, watching it.

By the way, who do you think won Project Runway this season?

Tomorrow: more to come on what’s hot in the investing world.
