Note to participants: I entered a corrected ticker symbol for Value Buy's Chiquita Brands. This is one reason why the rules state to enter the ticker symbol, long or short, the company name, what the company does, and why you like the company.

Everything is fine. We had been in the drought area but have been getting plenty of rain this spring and summer. Those who live on the plains know we don't usually get little showers. When it rains it can really shake, rattle, and roll. I was trying to juggle my time in between storm cells and tried to post the results but for whatever reason they didn't post. I probably lost my internet connection or something and didn't stick around to make sure the post appeared. |

ModE90 takes over the lead from red hot architecto25. Value Buy is in third and is joined by Ombud as the only players beating the benchmark. Thanks to Ombud for posting yesterday's results.

ModE,......you and I are running a neck to neck race today. But it's only a horse race.
Regardless who wins,........we'll still be friends, right?.......... LOL. But I suspect that you sent Clark yesterday to bring you some "spiked carrots" for FCX...!!!

Yes, this will be a close race. Wonder which horse has the longest nose?  Down to the wire. Yes, we will still be friends regardless of the outcome.  |

ModE, ....remember, I'm Short....you're supposed to be way out front; and I should
be far behind all the other horses's rumps......... LOL Hey, maybe that's the trick. Pick
a short;........but don't even race him..... LOL Clark could certainly do the math.
