Here's your daily update direct from Starbucks, thanks to Irene

Hello traders everywhere!  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Monday, the 29th of August.

It is hard to believe, but I am actually sitting in a Starbucks coffee shop writing this report. Irene certainly did her damage on the East Coast, and we like millions of other folks are without power today.  It would appear that we were lucky with the hurricane, as many other folks were affected much more than us.

Weekend Update for 8/26 - Don't Worry Warren Buffett will lend you money at 11%
