Iron Man is estimate to bring in $200 million worldwide during it's 1st weekend of release. MVL stock is currently valued around 2.3 billion, meaning Iron Man alone is going to make up appx 10% of the total market cap based on revenue. You would expect Iron Man to rack up at least $750 million including movie receipts, DVD and merch. Assuming the Incredible Hulk does half of what Iron Man did, you are looking at 2 movies that can generate 1.1 - 1.2 billion in revenue for MVL, and appx 600-700 million in profit to the bottom line. Ca-ching.

Morcheeba is coming into the studio this weekend to do an acoustic set for one of our shows. Been listening to their music for a long time so I am pretty stoked. I am thinking about seeing them in concert this weekend so I can catch Federico Aubele and Natalia Clavier do their thing. El Arbol is just a song I can't seem to get out of my head.

I find Vegas to be very therapeutic. Whenever I am gambling at the tables, I feel chillaxed.. almost zen-like. It has to be the constant thinking required to gamble for 8 hours at a time. Anyways, it was great to see Tesh again. Funny that he asked how my ex-girlfriend was doing.. since he thought we were still together. Didn't realize that it was that long since I last saw Tesh. I have to do a better job reaching out to my friends more consistently. Work seems to forever consume me.

How do you define bank and corporate failure? I define it by entities that need copious amounts of money and help from the government to continue as a going concern.

Countrywide - Failed
Citi - Failed
Bear Sterns - Failed

The economy is in a real bad place. I predict a ten year recession and in all likelihood the US will lose financial superpower status.

Who is next?

People have good stories. People are afraid that truthful stories are boring.
