Just wondering, did you sleep unusually well last night?

Aren't they already on developer number two? I think the current developer is propped up big time by the state. They built a parking garage for Xanadu so that shouldn't impact the stadiums and I think they have to be closed on Giants and Jets home games.

Some mornings there just isn't enough coffee in the world.

Stock-pick question for The Box:

If choosing between:

ConAgra Foods (CAG)
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc (FCX)
JP Morgan Chase (JPM)
Kimberly-Clark (KMB)

Which would you go with? I'm not concerned about any short-term volatility (or cyclical issues, as with the mining sector), and am looking at holding for the long-haul.

I definitely saw a new parking deck and the thing seems pretty damned impressive.

I wonder if CO is going to start doing weekend shopping specials like NW does/did for the Mall of America. I can just see it now, "Your ticket to Xanadu" and we'll have a bunch of kettles thinking they are buying tickets to the musical. :rolleyes:

It is snowing 20 or so miles south of EWR. It started here just after 7am.

It may be ConAgra. When the economy turns around, people will start going back to prepared food. I'm assuming they got nailed this past year with the wholesale food price increase along with the spike in oil so their earnings have to be off.

Kimberly-Clark may be a close second. People will always need many of their core products.

What the heck is up with the new stadium in the Meadowlands? Didn't they just add a bunch of boxes to the old one? :confused: I resent having my tax dollars pay for wasteful extravagances like unneeded new stadiums. Before you tell me that this one (or the new ones for the Yankees and Mets) is a private deal with private funding, remember the tax breaks that the builders always get. :td:

Nah -- they'll just blow their noses on their sleeves to save money :p

I think much of the retail elements have been eliminated from Xanadu It was to have a Mills outlet mall.

CAG was actually at the top of my list, followed closely by FCX, which has taken a massive beating lately, but is sitting on about $1.6B cash reserves and well-situated to weather the mining-sector downturn.

Portions of the post that previously appeared in this space have been deleted. I would provide you with a reason why, but doing so would likely be against the TOS.

Apparently the current stadium doesn't have enough of them :rolleyes: Otherwise it's a great stadium that's easy to get in and out off, easy to see the field, and nice wide seats. I'm sure the new one will be a complete mess like the Linc.

Any idea what 4 NW jets (1 a 752) are doing at the CO Cargo area?

No snow at SIN. Just arrived !! ^

From one who has bought tickets to the games and attended most of them thoughout the thirty-something years of that stadium's existence, I am on the fence about the replacement.

Unfortunately for this day and age, the old Stadium is considered relatively obsolete. It lacks a lot of creature comforts, the seats are now considered not as comfortable as newer ones, the egress and exiting for lower seats in the lower deck and higher seats in the upper is very difficult, and there is not enough room for the type of club facilities that are par for the course nowadays.

All it now really has going for it is that the sight lines are very good. And that does not make much difference when the crowd decides to stand for much or all of the game, as is now the practice. Since I do not like this practice, I thought long and hard about whether to buy the PSL when it was offered. I bit, but will give it back to them during the option period if I do not like the product.
