I know I am going to kick myself in the behind on this one by the end of the week, but have to go with it anyway.
Should never go with such an expensive stock, but I like it anyway.
Alphabet, GOOGL class A
Will go long with it.

Uncle23, ..... I think someone put a burr or something under the saddle of your horse
today ...... He's acting like a bucking bronco .... in lieu of a smooth running race horse .... LOL
Very interesting ... as the week progresses.

Well, I went the wrong way again! Thought it would go down when oil went down! Oh well!
Has anyone heard from Arch?...I sure hope he didn't flood! |

Kadee, .... thanks for your concern. Although I lived in Houston almost 30 years, I'm now about 60 mi. SW. What Houston
has been getting is unbelievable almost. And I think it's far from over yet. And when I moved away from Minneapolis
after that 2.5 yr. short stint, I said "I'll never complain about the Wx. ever again" .... There we cancelled flying when
it got to be 20 degrees below zero. And if you've ever see the movie "Airport" .... a huge airliner stuck in a snow bank.,
that was filmed on runway 29/11 at Minneapolis.

Hey, I made progress today....and one day to go!
Glad you aren't in any danger Arch! I just saw a headline, 8 dead! And more rain coming for them too! Saw a picture of one car that had each bumper on the asphalt road, but no road under the wheels. It gave way while someone was driving on it....and it's just suspended there. One really good reason to NEVER drive in water over a road...you don't know what is or isn't under that water. |

Kadee. I have no reason why oil is going up and no reason why the DOW is over 18000. The shorts have to be getting ready to pull the trigger. LOL The Refineries are doing their spring cleaning, gearing up for the summer driving season, that's why I think storage and pipelines will still do fine. JMO

Congrats to Ty, Arch & Clark. Sorry VB, but at least I got off the bottom on the last day. It didn't go down as fast as I thought it might.
