Balloon Boy: The Beginning
Storm chasing. Wife Swap. YouTube rap video. Barfing children.
What began as your average, everyday "six-year-old trapped in runaway homemade flying saucer" story has morphed into something bizarre.
In case you missed it, we give you "Balloon Boy: The Beginning".
Wild Ride
Many feared 6-year-old Falcon Heene had stowed away in a runaway Mylar balloon that was speeding across the Colorado sky yesterday. He was later found hiding in his family's attic.
In an interview with CNN's "Larry King Live," Falcon said he heard his parents call for him from the garage. When asked by his father on-air why he didn't respond, the boy replied, "You guys said we did this for the show." When Falcon’s father, Richard Heene, was pressed to explain what his son meant, he became uncomfortable, finally saying he was "appalled" by the questions, adding that Falcon was likely referring to all the media coverage.
Authorities say they don’t believe the case is a hoax, but will question the family further in light of the boy’s comment on CNN.

Are You Buying Stocks?
The New York Stock Exchange closed above 10,000 twice this week. It’s up 53% since this past March. But behind that gain – not a lot of individual investors. Market analysts tell the Washington Post that it's mostly pension funds, hedge funds, and institutional investors…and we’re trying to understand why that is.
Have you bought stocks in the last few months? Why or why not? If not, what will it take for you to take the plunge?
