Ferguson Was Tragic; Will Something Positive Come out of It?

Ferguson certainly was  gut-wrenching. A death, a city and region divided.  Civil unrest, damage to untold numbers of businesses. Anger, grief, frustration, revenge and denial. And finally a Grand Jury's findings, which   set off a wave of protests, demonstrations and unrest nationwide.
   Are the demonstrations really just about  Ferguson ? Or are they about something much, much bigger? Is it   the way  minorities are policed in our cities throughout this country! What can be done differently ? Is there a solution? I would like to  say yes. So  much violence. So much hatred.  How can we end this vicious cycle?
  Well that my friends is the magic question. Do we need more community outreach? More minority officers and minority  decision -makers. Alternatives to keep teens and young men off the streets. Incentives to stay in school..Continue with education. Yes, yes, yes and yes.
  So will  we see change? We have to. All this senseless loss of life has to stop.  We have to start somewhere. God Bless Michael Brown and his family .
 Your thoughts?

Gobble. Gobble.Hope Everyone Enjoyed The Turkey!

I just wanted  to take the opportunity to wish my family, friends and customers  "peace " during the holiday season !! 
 

Dow Jones at 17,700; Are You Kidding?

  Seeing is believing. The  Dow  is "cooking with gas"!  Where is it  headed this holiday season?  18,000 now looks probable...Not certain though.  Let's wait and see.

Happy Veterans Day To Our Armed Forces , We Owe So Much To You!

 As I've gotten older, I've gained  a much, much better appreciation for those who protect our country; the Armed Forces.. Say what you might, these men and woman have risked and   continue to risk 24/7 , life and limb for "our   individual  and collective  freedom " .  And for that,   my  family and I say  thank you! 

Knicks Basketball; Oh Where O Where Has The Triangle Offense Gone?

  It seems like ages ago...The Knicks were  2-1, coming off  2 straight W's.  They were  running the  "triangle"  to perfection  .  Assists were flying , ball was flying... Then  overnight, they seemed to revert back  to "Carmelo Isolation ".  Three straight ugly  losses and they're 2 and 4.
   Yes, it's early. Yes there is a new system, new personnel, a new infra-structure .  Rotation is  still a work in progress . So give them time.And for God's sake, give Amare some more minutes!!!!
   Atlanta tonight...

Really ? Dow Almost Back to 17,500 !!!

Here we go  round the mulberry bush, the mulberry  bush....  The DOW  after getting pounded for the past several weeks has again  risen from the ashes and is hitting new all-time highs....   At  about 10:20  this morning,  the "Mighty Dow " hit  17,485. If I'm not mistaken, a record high..
    Where will  it take us next?  Does it really matter?   It's only monopoly money anyway!
