Don't Look Now; Dow Jones Has Crept Back to 15,460?

So what does it all really mean? Dow cracks the 15,000 mark,  then gets pounded a bit and sinks into the 14,000's. Then  lo and behold, it creeps back to the  mid  15,000 range. These fluctuations  are the daily results of the market responding to any bit  of national or global  news that would affect investor confidence.
   In my opinion , the swings are  fun to watch....but what do they really mean in the long run?

16,000, here we come!

Andy Murray, You Are The Champion of Wimbledon!

Wimbledon; Roger, Rafa, Serena and Maria out...Still a Tremendous Tourney!

Who woulda believed that these 4 players would be out by the 3rd round? Nobody, that's who! Despite upsets and injuries, this has been a great, exciting event. Yesterday's  Djokovic-Del  Potro semi was one for the ages.
  And what a culmination of the 2 weeks....Andy playing Novak in the final. Shootout at the OK Corral!
  
  Breakfast at Wimbledon tomorrow. And don't make   lunch plans.

Happy and Safe "Independence Day" to All!!!

Just wanted to  take a moment to wish friends, family and my customers a safe and enjoyable 4th of July!
  Have one on me!

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner? Paula Deen Is Having Sergio Garcia Over for Fried Chicken!

  Let's look at this objectively . It is 2013 and Paula Deen is  is still using the "N  Word".  She's a racist, plain and  simple . Sergio Garcia is also a racist. So in light of their  mutual ignorance, there is only one thing to do.  Yes, Paula's going to cook fried  chicken for Sergio and  her 3  remaining  sponsors  at her place. Retired members of the KKK  will  serve as waiters and bus "boys".  Motown music will be piped in through the sound system  and  JayZ  will perform live. All to be followed by an NBA live dunk contest in her living room.
    After dinner ,  meditation  and sensitivity training. Then Paula will attempt not to use the N Word for 15 straight minutes. If  successful,  Paula and Sergio will be driven to  Harlem....Yes, to actually be exposed to black people. Can you believe it?  A cooking apprenticeship  will  be arranged for her at Sylvias, so she can taste real soul food. And Sergio, bad news . You've been kicked off  the PGA Tour. But the good news is that you'll be Tiger Woods' caddy for the next 12 months while you learn tolerance.
  Paula and Sergio...Are you getting the point?  Your minds are warped and you're out of touch! But hey, it's not too late to  change . It's sadly, no way to go through life.....And most importantly, maybe you won't  expose another generation to your hatred.

US Supreme Court in 5-4 Decision ,Declares DOMA Unconstitutional! Go SCOTUS....

 Wow , a 5-4 squeaker in one of the  most important decisions in the last 25 years, has shocked conservative America. You know what, somehow, some way they got it right! Who woulda thunk.
   One vote the other way would have set back "Gay Equality"  50 years.
    So , while the struggle will continue, on this day I'm proud of the United States Supreme Court.

  Sorry, Justice Thomas.

Wimbledon Under Way, Two Weeks of Awesome Tennis to Come!

  Something about this tourney I   have always loved. London,  the history, the grass, NBA season is over,  it comes around  July 4th.  All of the above.  The coverage is amazing...10-12 hours a day !
   Already, Federer and Sharapova  have won in straight sets . Nadal lost the  first set and is struggling. Great action, every day.
   Hey, there are  two things we're guaranteed at Wimbledon. Rain and   the best tennis action of the year.

  Lets go Roger!!
