Very nice place, kadee. I like 3 meals per day served in the dining area. No more frozen meals cooked in the old microwave for the past 16 years. Still have freedom to go out to the Tuesday night poker games with my friends (they come and pick me up as I gave up driving and gave my KIA Cadenza to close friend). I am glad to be back and active again. Thanks. May have sold the COP too soon, but a small profit, and picked more high dividend stocks that I like. Most pay monthly  . |

Mod, ... allow me to second what kadee said ....."glad to see you back". I've been wondering recently how you're
doing. Here's a stock tip for today (or any day ...) BUY LOW; SELL HIGH.

Glad you are enjoying yourself. That's great that you are now getting some good meals! Poker, huh Do you win? I haven't played in quite a few years, but used to do fairly decent when I did play!...but that was just local get-togethers, no professional stuff. |

Kadee, I actually won $2.50 for a change. Surprise! I do much better on the market (except for my misadventure in the China stocks a few years ago--argh!) Live and learn.

DI, I question you on that.
You blew through the top on earnings!
OOPS! I am sorry. Just realized you shorted AMZN.
The internet and retail darlings have really messed with the indexes this week.
Look at APPL and GOOGL on earnings, one direction
AMZN, Facebook, Linkedin, and a few others knocked it out of the park.

Great close, VB! Really turned on the jets! Nice Place, kadee. Congrats! Thanks! Never mess with the Jolly Green Giant! This was the first quarter BGS was able to factor in Green Giant revenue and profit, after purchasing it from General Mills. Looks like it was a winner, although I do not understand why it was this strong on Friday. One specialist came out after the earnings call and raised it to a buy, with a target of $40, but it blew through that number today, with the markets having a down day. I felt a 10% pop on was possible on earnings beat, but nothing like this. If they had missed earnings estimate, I expected a 10% drop too. Kadee made a move today, with a short position. good call! Great job Mod! |
