So this week is shaping up well, with the "Zuck" leading the news with a dreamy $28B personal stake in Facebook if things go according to plan.  Does he deserve it?  You decide...though your opinion does not really matter unless you can influence Facebook's stock price in some way.  Regardless, it's nice to see such positive news added to a steady stream of solid economic indicators. 

Also in the news this week, the Fisker "Karma", my dream car, is finally getting a little respect in the market place with a review on CNN.  Ok...it's a little excessive in some ways, but I don't think that anyone could not like this car.  It's a great environmentally responsible piece of engineering, including its humanely raised and environmentally friendly processed leather seats. (Sorry PETA...we're getting there)  What is most interesting is the way that this particular reviewer mentions that the Fisker Karma "Matchbox" car has been sitting on his desk for a long time, and he was finally able to drive it.  Did Fisker send him the Matchbox car?  If so....it was an ingenious marketing ploy aimed at associating their new car with playful fun, expectation, and then finally gratification.
