How are they similar ?
The winning team members and coaches can not get to the press room fast enough. The losing team members and coaches do not want to see anything that looks like a micro recorder. You hear reasons for the win and excuses for the loss. What will we be hearing when the earnings reports start to pile out of the locker room ?
I am not a technical writer nor a CPA but I can break down the numbers.I will be looking for companies with a good solid ground game and the ability for long aerial strikes.
I do not want to see teams breaking down or with losing records . Are there similarities I think so.
There is great feeling being on winning teams and a sense of discomfort when on the other side . I am sure you will agree.
This coming week Alcoa comes out of the tunnel first and many more there after. Will we be cheering or jeering ? We also have the release of the minutes from the Fed meeting of September 18 it might make the top ten list. Thursday the 11th the international trade report comes out and the Rockies open up the NLCS against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Then Friday the pencil pushers bring out the PPI producer price index,retail sales numbers and business inventories. Will the week be eventful you bet , I just hope it is profitable .
DuffBeer has decided to take the advice and pop a cold one on the SLO. It will not however be in Chicago . I will be on assignment in Denver with my wonderful wife Mrs DuffBeer and my son DuffBeer jr . We have volunteered for difficult task of attending the GABF . To look important I have given myself the title of PBT . I will take my new title very seriously as I do all parts of life. Please I am counting on all of you to keep those SLO portfolios rising in value in my absence.
It is time to start preparing for this upcoming weekend. To do so I cannot think of a better way then to have that cold one of DuffBeer.
Oh --- GABF ?? PBT ??? no they are not stock symbols !
they stand for ----------
" Great American Beer Fest " and "Professional Beer Taster"
Cheers, DuffBeer

A noble and worthy challenge, well suited to one who has mastered the art of picking stocks with clues from the bottom of DuffBeer cans.
Looking forward to your after action report.

duffer,
A PBT! You? I could "Taste" you under the table.
I've got a Gun-boat Beer Gut that I have to wear an Over-the-Shoulder Belly Holder to keep it from banging on my knees. Being of Nordic extraction, I'm naturally geneticically-engineered to Quaff "mass quantities" of what I call "liquid bread"- put a raw egg in it and you've got a perfectly balanced diet. Like a North Sea HagFish, I've got a "head kidney". I've got places to put beer where you haven't even got places. Beer - it isn't JUST for breakfast ANYMORE. You probaly don't even have douuble-jointed elbows so how vould you call yourself a TRUE two-fisted Guzzler. Duffie, Don't give up your Day Job about this PBT thing. You haven't even lost your amateur status opening a beer bottle with your teeth. You'd go Bone Dry if uou didn't have a churh key for a non-PopTop can. Grain Belt & Hamm's are out of business because I organized what the British call a 'Piss-up in a Brewery", and drank 'em Dry. Wet your whistle on a Kool one & remember what Benjamin Franklin said," Beer is proof that God loves us and He wants us to be happy" Be Happy,DuffBeer
PS - Just Hackin' on Ya, No Offense meant, None Taken. OK.
