Keeping Score – WHAT’S HOT IN OC:
by Rick Reiff
The Rally Monkey: Miracles and milestones are happening for the long-luckless Anaheim Angels.
Bill Gross: “Ptui,” says the King of Bonds to the stock market; he contends the Dow belongs at 5,000. While equities languish, his PIMCO Total Return Fund has become the biggest mutual fund and is up 10% for the year.
The median home: Priced at $370,000 in August, a fifth consecutive record month. How long can this last?
Quiksilver: Popular with guys and gals.
Long Beach Airport: Okay, it’s not in Orange County, but many OCers are traveling over the county line to take advantage of Jet Blue’s cut-rate fares, helping the funky little airport to post huge gains in a dismal travel market.
WHAT’S NOT:
Ah, forget it. Let’s stay upbeat this week.
