Tuesday, April 13, 2004 :::
I got out of bed a couple hours ago and have been drinking a lot of juice. I felt like death warmed over, which was an improvement over this morning, when I didn't feel warmed over. I'm feeling more or less crummy right now, which is enough of an improvement on both that I think I'm going to my Swedish class tonight.I checked my stocks, and thought it interesting that they were ordered by the dollar value of the holding, from the biggest holding to the smallest. This, it turns out, was coincidence; they were also ordered alphabetically by stock symbol. For 6 items, the odds are 1 in 60 that they would be either ascending or descending in the same order in position size as alphabetically.
Correction: That's 1 in 360. And an illustration of why it's a good thing yet that I'm not at work, perhaps.
