Microsoft brings classic ‘Hover!’ Windows 95 game to the web

Microsoft is bringing its classic Hover! game back to life, on the web. The game combines bumper cars and capture the flag, and originally shipped on Windows 95 CDs in a special folder called fun stuff. Microsoft has worked with Dan Church, an independent developer, to bring Hover! to the web. It took around eight weeks to get it ready in time for the launch today, and Hover! fans will be able to play the PC classic in retro and modern modes.

The commodity corn has taken a big hit in 2013. As it has plummeted, many have started to look for a potential bottom, an entry price to go long. It is looking more and more likely that bottom is at hand. Take a look at the weekly chart of Teucrium Corn Fund (NYSEARCA:CORN). This is an ETF that tracks corn. Please note that four weeks ago a bottoming tail was put in, and last week another bottoming tail was put in. It is clear that this commodity is trying to put in a low and upside could be right around the corner. A long at the current $31.00 level appears attractive with downside limited and upside to $34.50 likely. Gareth Soloway InTheMoneyStocks.com

If we ever get over this political crisis, is there growth ahead?

So far the market has not really been phased by the government shutdown. We have seen a small downturn this week but no large change. However if the U.S. does does not come to a consensus over the Affordable HealthCare Act and we don't raise the Debt Ceiling it could have catastrophic consequences on the economy. Most investors seem to be complacent saying that the shutdown/debt ceiling is not a reason to sell stocks. However, if the U.S. does reach what many think to be a 0% chance scenario where we are unable to pay the interest on our loans it is predicted that the S&P 500 would crash to 850, about a 50% drop. However if we do make it past this Political fiasco the economy may still have juice left to climb. I have written a few times before about KKR, as experts in the market they often provide useful insights. Alex Nevab KKR's co-head of Americas private equity said, "We actually see the economy recovering and has further to go through 2016 or 2017." KKR believes that if we do get past this debt ceiling crisis that the market was not at a low point or a high point and is showing a good environment for growth. Other notable leaders in KKR include former RNC chairman Kenneth Mehlman and General David Petraeus.
