Not oversleeping again  BBY is a good choice after its [IMHO] unwarranted drop. |

Will try HCLP (long) this week. Hi Crush Partners LP.
Hi Crush Partners LP, formerly Hi-Crush Partners LP, is a domestic producer of monocrystalline sand, a specialized mineral that is used as a proppant to enhance the recovery rates of hydrocarbons from oil and natural gas wells. The Company reserves consist of Northern White sand, a resource existing in Wisconsin and limited portions of the upper Midwest region of the United States. It owns, operates and develops sand reserves and related excavation and processing facilities and will seek to acquire or develop additional facilities. The Company's 561-acre facility with integrated rail infrastructure, located near Wyeville, Wisconsin, enables it to process and deliver approximately 1,600,000 tons of frac sand per year. In June 2013, Hi Crush Partners LP announced the completion of its acquisition of D&I Silica, LLC (D&I). |

I posted some results for the year to date performance on the W. E. Jan 17 thread for anyone interested. I have a spreadsheet set up and will be able to update the results fairly quickly each week. You will be able to see your total games, win, place, and shows for the year. Also you can see how many time you beat the benchmark in the >BenchMark column. Last you can check your average return in the last column (this is actually the average of the %returns recorded at the end of the week). I try to be as accurate as possible but I hand enter some of this and the spreadsheet does the calculations. If you think you see an error let me know and I will correct it as soon as possible. |

Sorry about that Ombud. Sometimes I notice when there is a discrepancy between the symbol and the name but this time I didn't.
