Best Guess: Thursday AM Quarterback

It’s always interesting the news takes us away from the business of the day.  Wednesday was a perfect example as we focused on the resignation of General McCrystal.  As you’ll see below Kimberley believed he would resign and he did.  What we did yesterday was bring in John Challenger to discuss how the same scenario would play out in business.  He said it would depend how critical the work of the rogue employee was the company’s overall productivity.  So I ask all of you……even though McCrystal messed up, was his job performance lacking?

JORDAN KIMMEL: Innovation will lead to new jobs right here in America. Consumer confidence will spill over into investor confidence as the first “Cleantech” IPO comes out – and people look back ten years from now asking why they were so pessimistic.  Stock selection will continue to outperform indexing. Small and mid-cap will continue to outperform large cap- much to the dismay of Wall Street.

KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE: General McChrystal will either be relieved of his command by Obama or asked to resign or retire.  Obama has no choice his statements while probably accurate fit the definition of “Insubordination” under the UCMJ (Uniform Code of Military Justice). This will be a defining  Moment in the War on Terror and Afghanistan

CHERYL:  The offshore drilling moratorium will be lifted.
