We all have travel horror stories and I am no different except in one respect. As part of my work in the mid-late 1990s, one area that I covered was aviation security. It's a space I have followed on and off. And it's one I've made a substantial amount of money for investors as an analyst and money manager.
Just a few months into coverage of the space, my ex-wife and I were scheduled to return to the U.S. from a trip to Israel via TWA on July 19, 1996. However, on July 18th TWA Flight 800, a plane originating in New York and bound for Paris exploded minutes after takeoff, killing all 230 people on board. It was immediately assumed that this was a terrorist attack, although many months later the cause of the explosion was determined to be unrelated to terrorism.
Nonetheless, the entire world was on alert. This was especially the case in Israel, the U.S. and for all TWA flights.

A Portfolio Quencher
Most people remember when they first heard a song that speaks to them or heard a news event. Since my brother ran a family restaurant business for nearly 30 years I tend to remember the first time I ate certain foods or dined at specific establishments. Sometimes the experience was good while other times the experience was memorable for not being so pleasant. Occasionally, there might be some odd event that occurred to keep that memory fresh.
One thing that I will never forget was a trip I made to our headquarters in Minneapolis about 12 years ago, when I was working for what was then known as U.S. Bancorp Piper Jaffray. The U.S. Bank HQ was a new, large, beautiful building and it was about 9AM or so when I walked in for the first time. Needing a caffeine jolt I took the elevator to the floor with some places that were fast service food businesses. I saw a short line at Caribou Coffee but a long line at something called Jamba Juice (NASDAQ – JMBA - $2.55). I found it odd that a smoothie establishment would attract such business in the dead of winter at 9:00 AM. I decided to try it out and was hooked. Although there are no locations where I live, I have been a follower of the stock ever since it went public six years ago, recalling that first, tasty beverage.
