Change is good, it is growth, it is the opposite of death

I’m so torn in commenting on the energy for change in Iran.  This article got me there finally. 

Gauging Obama in Iran – NYTimes.com

This isn’t George’s or Obama’s country, it’s ours:

"On one side, a handful of supporters of President Bush said Iranian protesters had taken to the streets because they were emboldened by President Bush’s pro-democracy stance, and the example of Shiite democracy he set up in Iraq. On the other side, some of President Obama’s backers countered that the mere election of Barack Obama in the United States had galvanized reformers in Iran to demand change."

This is what makes America great – while I don’t agree with many of the approaches and policies of our current administration I accept his election and love my constitution and country.  For no other country can have such debate, transformation and consideration for freedom.  The fringe in our country is simply the fringe  – while it rules in other countries as there is no mechanism for changing leadership so.  Look at what we have done. This is why the world loves Americans, and what our constitution represents. 

 

CIS, Macworld, AAPL – change is coming. Politics – change is coming too.

Ahh- Macworld.  The future is next week.  CIS has some cool 

In an article in today’s WSJ Business Tech blog:

Apple chose today to announce two new high end computers the week before Jobs takes the stage

I love my Mac Pro – wish I had one of these. Ahh, the processing power, but FinalCut is working for me now, enough power.  But still – to upgrade to a new processor – maybe I’ll hack someday.  Can’t wait to see what Steve has for us next week. The blog Wingfield @ the WSJ wrote about that too. The wafer thin powerbook – I’m not excited about it yet.  When they come out with a multi-touch OSX mac I’ll start pressing IT for one.  

 

 As for today’s Stock Tank!!!  "Oh Apple, if there’s been a fool around – its got to be me."  As I watched you tickle $200/share and now back to the November number of $171 – This happened last time you made a big announcement – iPhone’s in Europe.  We are heavy in this one, in the IRA so we won’t sell but its painful.  Makes me think to buy more after we just cashed in a bit to buy some Citi which also tanked.  I thought it was the bottom for the financial sector but it’s not there yet. Countrywide may "go away" and the rest are suffering.  Looked at it like a strong Dividend play – may still be for the long run, but if they cut that dividend – I’m all wet.  Time to shift to even more safe stuff like more into P&H where we are already heavy and Coke where we probably didn’t put enough.  

A business associate of mine – Commercial Banker is retiring, had a nice conversation with him.  He is one of quite a few I know in the past few years.  At 42, its a leading indicator that I have to stay serious.  So what happens when Steve Job’s retires – Bill’s on his way out,  its only a matter of time.  

And now to the politics.  Can you believe this – all they talk about is change.  Change   CHANGE!  even the republicans want change.  The funny thing is, Bush can’t run again so there is going to be change  regardless.   So what I want to know is – change to what.  I know we need it, I don’t like what the Dems are proposing, I don’t know what the Repls are proposing.  Its all reteric now – I quite frankly don’t trust Hillary and Mit – they both have changed what they are saying so much – that thats all I can count on in regard to change from them.  I fall back to McCain as that is about all I can do.  I just wish I could get comfortable with a guy like Huckabee – but I’m Jewish and don’t know what that means to him.  So we have some time – and time to change, my mind.
