ParticipantI’ll post a recommendation on a beer, but make it a very specific one, in the category of Hefeweizen or Weissbier.
I strongly recommend the Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier.
My wife and I have done our share of hut-to-hut moutain hiking in Germany, Austria, Switzerland. The best part is those huts usually have good cold Weissbier. So I’ve had my share of good European Weissbier!
I found this is one of the best tasting Weissbiers conveniently available in certain CA markets (Try Whole Foods)

Of course, Weissbier is best served cold on a hot summer day. Some like it with the lemon wedge; others do NOT. Whatever the case, Weissbier is NOT a beer for a cold day.
Also, if you like your Weissbier w/a lemon, be sure to add the lemon AFTER you poor; otherwise, the acidity of the lemon will prevent a good head from forming on your Weissbier .
There are those who claim that Paulaner is better, but I do not agree. It is good, but not as good as Franziskaner.
I have NOT found ANY American brewery that has a good authentic German style Weissbier, and I’ve done plenty of searching.
Examples of some widely available (in CA), but really horrible “Hefeweizen”:
Gordon Biersch Hefeweizen
Pyramid Hefeweizen

Safeway has a deal NOW (maybe not next week) where Blackstone is Buy one then get the 2nd for $0.10, plus the store I visited let me combine that with the 10% off when you buy six bottles. Basically you pay the retail price of $13 each for three, get the other three for $0.10 each, then you get another 10% off the whole lot.
The price is then about $6/bottle which is quite a steal.
But you have to pick a stupid-looking cashier because I think officially they are not supposed to let you double up those specials. Yet, last night I was able to get the above deal at Bay Area Safeways.

ParticipantThat is incredible that one in ten Americans are getting food stamps! I had no idea the number was that high.
Where’s MY handout! I need to figure out a way to get my family on the gravy train!

ParticipantNow here’s where I ASK FOR ADVICE.
I’m fairly weak on knowing which big cap oil players are the better positioned for stock price increases, once oil price starts to recover.
So who on this forum has done good research, and can advise us which are the oil sector companies to invest in for long-term? Tell us why you like the companies you recommend?
Exxon?
Petrobras? (Brazil play)
PTR? (China Play)
BP? (more diversified?)
COP?
MRO?Others?
