Today's Tids Issue 5,641
It's starting:
The stock market is never easy to comprehend. Today, the S&P reached certain blustery height that signals to global markets that it’s time to cut back by 10%. This at time when the AI Chip guys are rebounding, and analysts are looking for a return to dominance by the Magic Seven. And at a time when the Bank earnings are really great and very few companies are disappointing expectations. I guess what this is all boils down to is that when the market is at its highest levels there are no bargains out there to buy. So, sell and create bargains.
One of the better NE Patriots defensive players Christian Barmor has been out all season. Last week he was caught by police doing something suspiciously nefarious in that dreaded after Midnight hour. He got the media on his side by shouting "Racist” and saying that the police were very unprofessional. Media loves accusations of unprofessional police. Then later in the week the body cam footage appeared and over the weekend his handlers wrote a significant public apology to the Providence RI police department. Racist has lost its meaning.

I heard a younger generation mini celeb saying he could tell he was in a good pizza joint by the curl on the peperoni. Is that a little like around the seventies when young upwardly mobile generations were outdueling each other on the finer points of wine. Personally, always judged wine by what it costs and, did it taste good. In reality, after the pre-dinner martinis the wine always tastes good.
Let's hear it for New Zealand which took the America's Cup again, Thye have proven consistently that they are where sailing is at for now. Is tier any chance that The USA will ever win about the most cherished trophy in sailing that they for a century. Or is America to busy sorting out identities. That is the question.
A Roman walks into a bar and says, “I’ll have a martinus.” The bartender says, “you mean a martini?” The Roman replies, “no, if I wanted a double I would have asked for one.”
Pepsi's Lay’s brand began reducing their bag product content by 5 chips. That saved the company $50 million dollars!! Pepsi, Frito Lay got caught big time by consumers seeing bags increasingly filled with air. 30 % of those interviewed about this say they have switched brands. So now Pepsi is hailing its move to bigger “bonus” bags over Bogus bags. But for how long will the accountants let them do this. To me, the best combo for taste, quantity and price is Walmart brand.
A king, wanting to host an elaborate wedding for his daughter, raised taxes on all citizens of the kingdom by thirty pieces of gold. Everybody paid, except for one young count. The king sent a tax collector, but the count refused. “This is unfair, and I shall not pay!” The king sent the sheriff, but the count refused. “I will not support the king’s new tax!” Finally, the king had the count arrested and thrown in the dungeon. He explained to the count that failure to pay was treason, and he would be executed, yet still, the count refused. So, the king had him brought to the top of the tower, and neck on the block, with the executioner’s axe raised. The king asked the count to pay. He defiantly shouted, “Never!” Then, as the executioner’s axe began to fall, the count shouted “OK! I’ll pay!”. But it was too late, the executioner couldn’t stop the heavy axe, and the count was killed. The moral of this story? Don’t hatchet your counts before they chicken.

Straws are for suckers.
I decided to end today with the best rock song of all time. But I've done Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to Heaven and Free Bird, so I went with Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb. I just like the sound of it. But of course, by reading the tids o up to here, youare already compfortably numb.
