Kim Delaney:A Mysterious Moment

Actress Kim Delaney had a rough night in her native Philadelphia,speaking at a tribute to former Defense Secretary Robert Gates.The teleprompter with her speech on it didn't work and she tried to improvise.This was deemed inapporpriate as it seemed to bother the audience.
The question is,was she just being creative or had she had too much alcohol,as she has done in the past?Some say she looked disheveled,but isn't that the latest style?When you're dealing with an artist,it's hard to say.
Kim Delaney ended up fascinating the media,but it isn't yet clear how the wider public will react to this episode.
There was no doubt about the stock market this week.It was the worst week since the financial crisis in 2008.The S&P was clipped by 6.54,while the Dow plunged 6.41 and the NASDAQ dove 5.30.
Gold futures caved 101.70,ending at 1637.30 an ounce.Traders were selling commodities off to make up for stock losses.Oil futures declined also,losing 0.66 to close at 79.85 a barrel.
The S&P futures were recovering by Friday evening.They hinted a 6.30 advance at Monday's opening bell.
Australian golfer Adam Scott scored a superb second round 8 under par 65 to earn the lead at the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola,held at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.South Korea's K.J.

Portfolios Rebound

Portfolios are starting to look the way they used to.That is,they're starting to be worth something again.They have a way to go,but it's certainly been a relief to see them recover lately.The worry is,September and October are drawing near.Historically,these have been terrible months for the market.The contrarian could well have an advantage now.Contrarians are expanding their bond holdings,gold and cash.They suspect the early autumn could see a significant decline for equities,so they are buffering their holdings.Recent history makes it easier than ever to be a contrarian.You just don't want to have your assets knocked down to nothing again.You're warier than you ever thought you could be.
Have a valuable evening.
