Today's Tids Issue 2,917
Opening Stuff:
I think one of the truly amazing things in life is how good old friends meeting again after an extended period of time can squash nearly seventy-five years of memories into a single day, in such a way that it appears no time has passed by at all.
Have you noticed how much of our legal system and government activity is centered around finding other people to blame for a person's own bad choices and decisions?
How can you ever teach your kids to tell the truth when they see that those who do tell the truth are generally persecuted --publicly stoned.
The Question:
What do you think are considered the ten best Stocks for Long Term Portfolios -- your foundation stocks that you never give up?
The Headlines:
--2013 NFL Season Opens Tonight.
--Stock Markets Up After Stronger Retail Sales Reports From Walgreen And Costco; New Apps For Jobless Bennies Hit Five Year Low.
--As Prez Hits Russian Soil For G-20 Summit, Support For Syria Initiative Grows Sluggish.
--Iran Says They Will Support Syria To the Bitter End.
--New Report Shows Planned US Layoffs Jumping Dramatically In August.
--EU Urges Diplomatic Resolution Of Syria Affair Over Military Action; Pope Says US Should Abandon "Futile" Military Syria Action; China Warns Of Global Economic Risk If US Shoots Off Missiles.
--100 Car Crash On London Area Bridge Injures Dozens.
No wonder 0-Man was so irate about BP, it reminds him of what he does so well -- Back Peddling. The new official word out of the WH is that he never said "Red Line" at all. What are they smokin' in the Lincoln bedroom these days?
Actually BP is a DC affliction. John McCain, the first Republican supporter for Obama Syria action is moving away from his original position, now calling for the approval of a more elaborate attack on the renegade country in order to get his support. McCain feels that this is the time to shift the balance of power away from Assad to the rebels. He says he will not support the limited action agreement voted on Yesterday 10-7 by the Foreign Affairs committee. To me, he sounds like he is promoting another Afghanistan.
It's Euphoria in The Jock Pit today. Yes, the intrepid Tids Sports department is set to make a fool of itself for another 17 weeks. The last couple of years have been tougher, but we manage to go above 2/3's of the weekly NFL picks correct and beat many of the experts. So let's go directly to tonight where I have Denver, mainly because of home field, beating Baltimore in a great kick off game. To me, the posers this week are Pitt/Tenn, NO/Atlanta, Chi/Cinn, Cleve/Miami, Det/Minn, SF/GB and Dallas/NYFG. Pitt and Chi may be a little down and Dallas, Detroit and Minn mught be a little up. NO could be better with the return of Coach Petyton so I'm going with them at home over favored Atlanta. The rest of the other winners are Pitt, Chi, Cleveland, Detroit, San Fran and Dallas. For the remaining 8 games I go New England, TB, KC, Seattle, Indy, St. Louis, Washington and Houston. Bring it on.
I hear rumbles about some European countries seriously considering putting devices on cars that would set speed limits, at 70. This, in addtion to other intrusions like wanting black boxes to monitor drvigin habits, goes well beyond the freedoms that all humans should enjoy. Is there an eleventh commandment known to gevernment denizens that says, Thou shalt be suffocated under the tryany
Sergio Garcia is an ambitious Mexican illegal immigrant. He just passed his bar exam in California! So let's get this straight, he promises to uphold the law and yet his current adult life is a felony worthy of deportation. And second, America really has more attorneys than it needs and it certainly doesn't need any more officially illegal lawyers.
Obama's fatherland country, Kenya, voted yesterday to leave the International Criminal Court. It appears that the President and Deputy President of the country are about ready to be tried in The Hague for inciting post election riots. Hey, these guys would do well in the US government -- exclude your self from burdensome regulations, laws and taxes imposed upon the public.
That is a lot like atheists saying they don't believe in God primarily because they don't want to feel guilty for circumventing natural laws of civilized living.
I was really disappointed that Anna Christine got knocked off AGT. And, the weasel judges who described her the night before as the best singer of them all, had the chance to save her...and didn't.
The Answer:
Kiplinger picks Exxon-Mobil first and then General Mills, IBM, J&J, ADP, Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Phillip Morris International, Proctor & Gamble and Wal-Mart. They call this group the stocks that refuse to die. I kinda remember Dell, Intel and Microsoft as being invincible.
Normally, you get inklings of where the markets may head after Labor day. But this Syria thing has everybody on edge because the solution is appearing to get more muddled on a daily basis...and I'm not just talking US indecision and backpedaling, but world wide wariness as even a bigger factor. So basically, I'm more interested in a fast decision that would tend to protect my retirement rather than whether or not we get Assad.
Hell, I'm not thinking of reality today, not Wiener, Putin, Assad or Matt Damon...I'm just priming my mind for football from Tonight to February. Zowie!
