Today's Tids Issue 6,084
A little old Fashioned:
I was addicted the Hokie-Pokie but then I turned myself around.
This could be an oldie but goodie Tids day. That oldie often repeated “We are very close to a deal...” could finally come to a goodie fruition for the US and global economics. Yes, this time it may be more than words.
Today is also huge for the Fed and Fed watchers as we will all see new Chief Warsh in action. Will be interesting to see his parsing. Remember, Powell is still on the board. And the recent inflation number calls for a rate increase. Which middle will be in or is he pure and apolitical.
I asked my shadow for advice. It said, “Stick close to the light”.
The question:
The G7 is going on today and tomorrow. Who are the Seven? What does the :G” stand for?
The Headlines:
--After a Big Comeback Monday, Stocks Appear Iffy ahead of Fed Meet; Dow Up, Nas Day in Late Morning into Early Afternoon.

I used to multitask until I realized I was bad at everything simultaneously.
James Beard 2026 Award Winners were announced yesterday with Kalaya of Philadelphia named best Restaurant. I just read the menu and looks way beyond crushed Cheetos dishes, Though the prices are quite modest. Top Chef of the Year is Michae=l Tusk of Quince in San Fran, It is expensive. Dinner menus start around $390 per person and lunch around $270. Can I have fries with that, The estimate for an evening at Quince is $600 to $1,000 per person. Most of the winning restaurants in other categories, sound global inname except the inning Bakery i Montana and the best new Bar in Providence RI. Exotic tastes are dwarfing meat and potatoes.
Trump though his third party investment managers made 3642 stock trades in 3 months – 2346 purchases and 1,296 sales. HIs favorite stocks are Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Netflix, Oracle and AMD, He says he neither he nor his family know anything about the trades.
I put my phone in airplane mode and now it won’t serve snacks.
So now the Trump organization is investigating Newsome and wife. How Ironic is it that this is the same Trump who wants a $1,776 Billion fund for those victimized by the weaponized government. He seems the leader in that category. I only comment on what we all see.
I like to cook scrambled eggs in generous puddles of butter.
Berzerk over Bieber: In Newport RI two days ago there was a half mile line of mainly women waiting to get into a pop-up Stroe called Hailey Bieber. It woudltake six hours to get there. When asked about thewait, a woman said, with agreement from several other woman, “that waiting was the new thing. these days, almost a status symbol (I’d prefer a 50-foot sailboat.)... especially if you post About it. You get a lot of likes if you show your self on Tik Tok waiting for Hailey Bieber.” Who knew. Thank God for our digital world.

I’m into silent tennis. No racquet.
The Answer:
The letter “G: stands for Group of. I thought it might have been Global Giants. They’re USA. UK, Germany, France, Canada, Japan and Italy. Cinna's Xi is like roman numeral “11”. Seven come 11. He’s waiting. So is India.
Today I feel like the snail who lost his shell – sluggish.
