People have been trying to predict the stock market for as long as the stock itself has been around. As futile as these attempts have been, people keep trying, most recently with machine learning or function approximation techniques. Now, however, there is a better way.. take lots and lots of drugs.

Stock Market not going your way? Sure, you've tried Following The News, dabbled a bit in Technical Analysis, maybe even checked in with a Higher Power? Sure, those would work if this were the Twentieth Century. Wake up! It's time to check Maria's Hair.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq composite index slid more than 7% today to its lowest level in almost two years. The returns on my equity investments have been embarassing this year. I think it's time to apply the modern portfolio theory pioneered by Nobel Prize winner Harry Markowitz to diversify my portfolio to include alternative investments. Before circumstances beyond my control force me to take on a second job because more of my investments lay an egg, maybe I'll just sink my dough into this.

Thanks to IPOme.com, the once-dicy act of 'selling out' will soon be as easy as filling out an SEC S-1 form. Just don't ask any of us here at memepool about "exit stratagies" should shares of You, Inc. trade below the offering price and the open market ends up proving what your longsuffering employer suspected all along.

As many of you know, webzine Salon.com is offering a 2.5 million share IPO to raise some desperately needed cash. What's unusual is that they are offering the deal not through conventional IPO shops like First Boston or Goldman Sachs but the newly-formed boutique W.R. Hambrecht & Co and employing Hambrecht's unconventional IPO pricing mechanism called a Dutch Auction. Although the Dutch Auction is hailed as an equalizing process that allows non-institutional investors to acquire shares at the offering prices, detractors suggest that allowing the hoi polloi to bid away the typical first-day runup of hot IPOs will kill significant demand from the speculators and momentum traders that flock to money-losing Internet IPOs in the first place.

TheStreet.com is one of the better financial sites with a great mix of timely news and insightful, unbiased commentary. While a subscription-based site, their strict conflict and disclosure policy makes it much more valuable than listening to the talking heads on CNBC or reading the touters on Yahoo!'s stock boards.
