Portfolio of the Week

[IIC]

Doug,
He who procrastinates........
A few people here expressed interest in the stock. I like to own them if I play them in the POTW but I figured I should grab this one quickly for myself before you or Lye did. Thanks and I'll most likely own it after 10 am on Monday morning if it does what I expect it to do.

I may own it too by that time if I like the action...But I have a few "Super-Secret" tix to possibly play in the contest.

Time to join the fray. I've run my screens, consulted the charts, drunk some goji and studied the seal on the dollar bill.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. / Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

You shouldn't "look a gift horse in the mouth"..... because he might be "long in the tooth"

A neighboring elderly farmer (that I'm very fond of) tells me stories when I visit with him, his name is Sanford.... The old guy keeps me in stitches laughing. He keeps a jar of The GoJi in his fridge and he offers a swallow to visitors as a hospitable gesture.lol.... He was quite a cattle hustler in his day. He always raised a few head on his 80 acre farm but made more money traveling from livestock market to livestock market "Pen Hooking" (buying direct from a farmers truck waiting to unload.... then selling the livestock in his name and running up the price as a bidder). Here's a story that he told me once that I found very amusing.

There was a meat processing plant (Dinner-Bell) in Bedford, VA that in addition to slaughtering cattle and hogs would slaughter horses and process the meat. The plant closed down a few years ago. Anyway.... Sanford knew "the market" well. He knew what he could sell an old cow directly to the processor and he knew exactly what "killer horses" were bringing per pound. So he'd scan the newspaper want-ads for anyone selling cheap horses. One day he saw an ad where a man was selling two pet horses to a "good home".... Sanford phoned the man, got his address and went to view the horses. He said the old horses were very well fed and "fat as a hog". Sanford assured the man that he had a farm with plenty of good pasture and they struck a ca$h deal. Then he proceeded to talk the man into throwing in the saddles and other tack in with the deal. After loading the horses on his truck he headed straight to Dinner-Bell and sold the horses "by the pound".... Then he went to "Happy's Flea Market" and sold the saddles and tack. He tripled his money on the deal all in one day.

Lye,

In the late 60's I had stock in the Eckert Packing Company that marketed it's products under the "Dinner Bell" brand. If they were selling horse meat and calling it pork or beef that explains why the stock was a turkey. Another gem recommended by my friendly broker.
