Monday

Tuesday
We've had a flurry of booksellers reporting earnings lately. Tuesday, the spotlight shines on Borders
Wednesday
You've probably seen the "my TiVo gets me" ads. Now it's time to learn whether Wall Street gets TiVo
Thursday

Friday
It's quiet on the earnings front, though Friday always brings a new slate of theatrical releases to a multiplex near you. Friday's star may be Halloween, though odds are that you probably tired of the slasher franchise several installments ago. Why is it coming out on Aug. 31 -- instead of Oct. 31? Well, you want scary movies to hit the big screen in the weeks leading up to Halloween itself. No one wants to get spooked come November, though I have seen some pretty intimidating stuffed turkeys and pumpkin pies.
Until next week, I remain,
