Portfolio of the week - 2008

[Peter Hansen]

Regrettably, I have been neglecting the contest. I'm still long QID which makes me short NASDAQ. Or really short and a half. Anyway methinks inflation is rampant. There is the price of gas, of course. But last week my favorite protein bars went from 4 for $5 to 3 for $5, an incredible 33% increase. Also, I took my Dad to our favorite fried clam place and the owner apologized for how much he raised the prices. And its the cost of flour and other whatnots, he said, not the price of the fishees. Plus now that I'm no longer on the varsity I have to buy my own sports bras. They had some very nice solid black ones at school which go nicely with my fair skin. I don't normally wear bras but in the summer they double nicely as the top of a two piece swimsuit since all the swimsuits I have are tank suits. I suppose we can't really blame the undie problem on the economy though.

Separately, this weekend is Groton House I. Friday's dressage starts at 8AM, Saturday is cross-country at 7:30 and Sunday show jumping for the two day leaders at 9AM. Weather is 80-85 degrees, chance of T-storms each day.

Louetta, how about some "sexy" bra from "Victoria Secrets" ....skip the sports bra lol.......and also SKIP the fried clams and start enjoying Sushi.....it's better for your health!
Bottom ..line be happy and enjoy life, and welcome back to Mr Market...you were missed by ALL!

Congrats to the greenies!! I am having a terrible year so far, but it's good to see others seeing green screens. SIL can suck an egg for all I care. I'm done with it! I never want to think of it again. Bad stock, BAD!!!

Thanks for keeping score, Hags. This is lots of fun even if I continue to lose.

I'll keep with my theme of garbage stocks this week. Maybe I won't lose as much if I go with CWST long. We'll see... gimmee that, Hags
