Super Bowl 44 had a good game and terrible ads. I watch little to no NFL football throughout the year. NCAA football is my preferred format and Super Bowl 44 was the first NFL game I watched all year. One reason I watch it is for the ads. Much like last year, the ads were horrible again this year. There were a few that I did like. The beaver violinist was kind of funny and then there was the Google ad everyone is talking about.
This morning I sat in a conference room waiting for a meeting to start and I had to listen to CNBC for 20 minutes or so. At first I thought to myself, man it has been forever since I have watched this god awful channel. The second thing that popped into my head is how many nasty broken companies are left.
There has not been a blog from me for some time. This is due to being stretched thin by The DL and our new site, stock.ly. Everyone is always asking me how stock.ly is doing and when the beta will be available and the answer- very well and soon. We are on track and Marco is making very good time moving along. If you won a beta invite already, you will hear something from us by the end of February.

Since Dasan decided to give his subscribers some iPad love, I decided to provide my assessment of Apple’s new product as well. This note will focus on the market for this product as I have been thinking long and hard about it and this is what I have come up with.
Kunal from Bulls on Wall Street stopped by happy hour to discuss stocks. We cover the general markets, small caps, Chinese stocks, and a couple of other topics.

This is a special treat for our research tab subscribers, but I may see if I can post one of Dasan's earning recaps a week. This recap is what subscribers of DSD get to see on a regular basis. It is very fundamental in nature and very in depth, like everything Dasan does. Enjoy and TGIF!
It is another new year and a brand new episode of The DL's Happy Hour. This week we welcomed back our good friend Dan "Airelon."
