| + | |||
| + | <html>| | Everclear headlines the Summerland Tour. (Mike Damante) | ||
| + | |||
| + | There is something endearing about Everclear front man Art Alexakis. While many bands love to relive the glory days to collect a check based off nostalgia,[http://www.linksdebatte.de/index.php/Benutzer:Taylor294#Ultimate_Rockets__Rockets.2C_Howard_speak_of_championsh Ultimate Rockets Rockets, Howard speak of championsh], Alexakis seems to mean well. He put together the 1990s alt-rock themed Summerland tour that came to Proof Bar on Sunday. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Yes,[http://miharu.aki.gs/blog/2010/03/post-44.html#comments WAPA to pursue power deal with biogas producer], there were plenty of rehearsed rock n'roll cliches from all the bands,[http://calendula-zeitung.de/redaktionswiki/index.php?title=Benutzer:Qwerty510#Alaska_Airlines_increases_fee_to_check_a_suitcase Alaska Airlines increases fee to check a suitcase], but Everclear seemed to enjoy themselves the most. Alexakis seems to care about the rock music that took the airwaves by storm in the 90s and has no trouble spearheading that revival for a summer show that took most of the crowd back it its high school days. Everclear kicked off its set with seminal favorite So Much for the Afterglow and continued with a set heavy in the hits like Everything To Everyone , Father of Mine ,[http://www.chinapaper.org/home.php?mod=space&uid=147023 ], I Will Buy You A New Life and the closer that included a jam session from all the bands on the bill, Santa Monica. Alexakis took a few breaks to strum up some Led Zeppelin riffs and even played a little bit of Sweet Home Alabama before reminding the crowd that we all need a little rock n'roll in our lives. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The current incarnation of Live, sans the original lead singer, came across as more of a Live cover band you d see at a bar like Sherlocks. Filter and Sponge did a solid job bringing back memories with a handful of recognizable radio songs. The crowd was made up of fans who are mostly pushing their mid 30s, frat-boy types,[http://www.zlogonje.com/ Ultimate Astros With chance to win, Astros fail to e], the 94.5 The Buzz crowd and guys wearing MMA shirts and their Midtown-centric girlfriends. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The tour has good intentions when you strip down the preconceived notion of washed up bands trying revitalize their relevancy. Alexakis and company are just trying to have some fun and at the end of the day, isn t that what rock n'roll is about?</html> | ||

| + | == The Top 5 Dow Performers Since the Recession Bottom == | ||
| + | |||
| + | <html>The Great Recession provided one of the greatest buying opportunities in the history of the stock market. When the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) traded at multi-year lows during 2008 and 2009, investors could have randomly selected a portfolio of blue chip stocks and would likely have extraordinary percentage gains at this point in time. | ||
| + | A handful of Dow stocks,[http://taoc.dk/wiki/index.php/Bruger:Taylor541#The_Many_Different_Ways_to_Invest_In_a_Company The Many Different Ways to Invest In a Company], however, have performed especially well and have helped drive the index all the way to 15,000. Here are the top five performers since the March 6, 2009 close, when many Dow stocks hit bottom. | ||
| + | 1. American Express (AXP) | ||
| + | Price Return: 627 percent | ||
| + | Additional Dividend Cash Return: 33 percent | ||
| + | American Express, one of the world’s largest credit card providers, is the Dow’s best performer since the recession bottom. With consumer spending up and rising demand for credit cards instead of cash, the entire credit card service industry has been one of the fastest growing industries over the last several years. Additionally, the card companies were never hit with severe regulations like the banking industry was, which helped facilitate organic growth over the last several years. | ||
| + | 2. Home Depot (HD) | ||
| + | Price Return: 349 percent | ||
| + | Additional Dividend Cash Return: 28 percent | ||
| + | The Home Depot is a home improvement retailer that operates over 2,200 full-service, warehouse style stores primarily in the United States. The company has reaped the benefits of the housing recovery, which has driven demand for its building materials, garden products, and other goods. Consequently, Home Depot has performed especially well over the last twelve months, with the stock hitting an all-time high in May 2013. | ||
| + | 3. Bank of America (BAC) | ||
| + | Price Return: 315 percent | ||
| + | Additional Cash Dividend Return: 5.5 percent | ||
| + | Bank of America, one of the world’s largest financial institutions, was hit especially hard during the mortgage crisis. Shares plunged to below $3 in early 2009, as investors feared the company would go bankrupt or become nationalized. However, the government’s $20 billion bailout of Bank of America, part of the $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), saved the day for Bank of America shareholders. The company has since returned to full profitability. | ||
| + | 4. Disney (DIS) | ||
| + | Price Return: 302 percent | ||
| + | Additional Cash Dividend Return: 13.3 percent | ||
| + | Disney is a diversified worldwide entertainment company that operates in media,[http://flyfox141.me/wiki/index.php/%E7%94%A8%E6%88%B7:KevinLee031#What_Does_a_Stock_Broker_Do- What Does a Stock Broker Do-], parks and resorts, studio entertainment, and consumer products. A perfect combination of a stronger economy,[http://www.o-eyama.com/blog/2013/07/post_1424.html#comments What is the S&P 500-], managerial execution,[http://www.rvline.ru/index.php/%D0%A3%D1%87%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA:Taylor134#Dell_Privatization_Bid_Gets_Major_Boost_0 Dell Privatization Bid Gets Major Boost 0], and valuable content creation, particularly in movies and ESPN, have driven the stock much higher in recent years. | ||
| + | 5. UnitedHealth Group (UNH) | ||
| + | Price Return: 266 percent | ||
| + | Additional Cash Dividend Return: 13.1 percent | ||
| + | UnitedHealth is a diversified healthcare company that provides care delivery, health financial services,[http://www.wlkj.net/home.php?mod=space&uid=269470 ],care management, and other services. In addition to a stronger economy, the company has reacted positively to “Obamacare,” which will require every American to have health insurance.</html> | ||

Mike Krupka highlighted that in an article he wrote :Little is a gifted athlete. He can high point the ball and has great leaping ability. He shows his pedigree as a running back upon catching the ball: running hard, initiating contact and/or making players miss for YAC (Yards After Catch).
