Manic, and then,

 


Today's Tids Issue 5.782 

Ooo-Wee-Ooo: 

 

Yesterday was much too euphoric to continue 

 

Or have the stock markets really become just that fragile that they operate more om whims and hopes as opposed to real economic data and fundamentals 

 

A wonderful Tids reader wrote yesterday afternoon around 4PM telling me I should have saved the Dancing in the Streets tune which ended Mondays verbal mess for yesterday afternoon. I wonder what he thinks I should paly today. Brahms Requiem? 

 

Meanwhile the daffodils here are fighting unseasonable frigid nights and days 

 

A recent study by statisticians finds that the average human has one testicular and one breast. 

 

The good news is that if you want to get out from under the disturbing rollicking stock markets, we have the Masters. At nine this moirng we had three former champions in the top 10 – Bernhard Langer, X Zack Johnson and Danny Willet. Amd todayl;s big names and othe former chanps have yet to tee off. 

 

Headline is Science Journal: “World’s scientists admit they just don’t like mice” 

 

The Question: 

What were the three largest one day stock Increases? 

 

The Headlines: 

--Pause Begets Euphoria; Morning Finds a Sobering message; Stocks open Lower; Dow Down 800+, Nas 600+ Near Closing; Core Inflation Rate Drops to Lowers in Four Years. 

--Apple Airlifted 600 Tons of iPhones form India to beat Trump Tariffs. 

--GOP Holdouts Force Johnson to Postpone Critical Vote on Trump Budget Blueprint. 

--Masters Tourney Under Way. 

--Tensions Rising Neath the Surface Over Iran US Nuke Negotiations. 

--Prada Buys Versace for $1.4 Billion. 

 

This sentence contains exactly threee erors. 

 

After reading all of the willow tree depth of the tariff considerations I believe we should have no tariffs anywhere yet find a way to charge Chiana of siphoning off our US technology from factories our US companies built in that country. That's the real cost of what they owe us. 

 

A German shepherd went to a telegram office and wrote, “Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.” The clerk examined the paper and told the dog, “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.” 
But,” the dog replied, “that would make no sense at all.” 

 

 

Here's the Scottie Scheffler-selected Menu for the Masters Champ dinner last night, Appetisers included Cheeseburger Sliders, Firecracker Shrimp, and Meatball and Ravioli Bites. The first course was Texas style Chili. The main course was a choice of Wood Fired Cowboy Ribeye or Blackened Redfish. They came with family style Mac and Cheese, Jalapeno Creamed Corn, Soy Glazed Brussell Sprouts and Chipotle Rasted Sweet Potatoes. The dessert was a Warm skillet cooked chocolate chip cookie with Vanilla ice cream. Theres a good chance I would have changed a few items. I i would think that one good reason to win the Masters championship is to assure you get to pick the food. 33 ex-Champs were there.  

 

I used to know a lot about what was happening on Broadway. Now a lot of Broadway are shows that were movies or shows that will be movies. If you are trekking to the Apple and are looking at all costs to avoid a Ya, Ya, Ya.. (WYKWIM) game here is a list of some of the best on Broadway: The Lion King is still there. As is Wicked and Aladdin. You can see MJ, all about Michael Jackson, The Great Gatsby, Moulin Rouge: the Musical and of course Hamilton, Beuna Vista Social club is about Music and Dancing and pure driving energy in Havana Cuba. And then we have Harry Potter and the Cursed Child which you think you know what it is about. If you are just looking for Celebs, there are plenty including George Clooney in Good Night and Good Luck, Kieren Culkin with others in Glengarry Glenross and Denzel Washington Opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in Othello 

 

Headline in California:40,000 pounds of salsa spill on I-10 near Cabazon, California. CHiPs respond.” 

 

As a good friend said to me yesterday, Donald is no Ronald. 

 

Sunday is Palm Sunday. I as a kid used to like Palm Sunday. It gave me something to play with in church. I was great at making crosses with it. 

 

I was terrible at playing office politics.  

 

I should put times of day on things I write. I started this morning around 7:30 and finished around 4PM. In today’s volatile world with mercurial minds at the top, digital computations at light year speed, comment and opinion relevancy can change in a nano second. Relavancy is the new element of time, 

 

The current news cycles with the attending rush to judgment tends to basically obliterate everything else in society, at least as far as journalists are concerned. What the news overlooks continually is that there are billions of peeps the world over who are trying to live their lives day to day in a loving way. That is why I hate getting bogged down in overdoing news related Tidlets. Did I use the word “Peeps” in this paragraph? It must be Easter. 

 

I think “Hate" is the worst word ever invented. 

 

The Answer: 

Isn't it nice to know that yesterday's immense Dow increase was topped by rises in years that reflected the worst ever on the street. Hmmm. The top three were 3/15/1933 ((15.34%), 10/6/1931 (14.6) and 10/30/1929 (12.39). Next was the covid Bounce of 11.37% in 10/24/2020. Yesterday rise was only 7.87% and was ranked 19th all time. But the 2,952.86 yesterday was the highest point rise ever.  

 

 I don't know why, but this song just seemed to fit the mood of our celestial, otherworldly times:
