from the Telegraph Weight, sex and sentiment changing The Nasdaq tripped past 2000 at one point this week, the first time it has managed this feat for two years. This doesn't mean the dotcom economy has yet risen from the dead, but the lid on the coffin is creaking and the signs of life are everywhere. My gym is about half a mile from Wall Street and for the past two years it has been full of wheeler-dealers getting sweaty in front of MTV while they try to forget the terrible day they just had. Lately they are tuned into financial stations CNBC or Bloomberg and they look like they are counting money in their head again. The machines at the gym are top of the range models that insist you enter your physical characteristics so they can keep track of your progress over time. It also wants personal information about salaries and interests so that advertisers can fill your postbox with sales literature for junk. In my probably pointless attempts to buck the system I have been logging in as an 18 stone 14-year-old female who earns more than $250,000 a year. Management has finally rumbled me and a snide assistant came over the other day to note that I don't look like I have a quarter of a million dollars. The clear impression she intended to leave was that otherwise, my description's pretty accurate. I am joining a different gym.
