The! Biggest! News! of! the! Day! - Not Overseas Rally, or Yen Carry Trade

Here are some of the contenders for today's biggest...news...of...the...day...

  • A rally in overseas markets...
  • A look into the fervor around the yen carry trade...
  • Productivity data...
  • A discussion about alternative energy stocks...
  • An investigation into Wal-Mart Stores (WMT) after it was revealed that a systems technician at the company "intercepted pager and text messages and also secretly taped telephone conversations between Wal-Mart employees and a reporter for The New York Times"...

While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story is this - Home gets hit with suspected meteorite...according to the article a when woman "heard breaking glass inside her central Illinois home on Monday morning, she first thought a bathroom mirror had shattered. But what had broken was a bedroom window and what had caused it to break was an object that had fallen from space, scientists called in to investigate concluded."...it is said the "grayish object about the size of a deck of cards " is "most likely a meteorite"...

I admit it, I am officially starting to get a complex - this is not the first or even the second article like this we have seen recently. In January we saw that a "golf-ball sized object, weighing nearly as much as a can of soup, struck the home and embedded itself in a wall". Then we saw that a car was smashed when an "18-inch chunk of ice plummeted from the sky with a piercing whistle".

Maybe the Swiss are "accidentally" attacking us now?
