TO EAT PEAS OR NOT TO EAT PEAS IS THE QUESTION?

Will you be required, by government mandate, to eat more peas and pay your fair share? Or, will King Romney usher in a new era of unbridled, cock-eyed, capitalism, where you are able to kick your neighbors down empty elevator shafts in order to get commission payments on his burial?

These questions and more will be answered tonight.

Separate from that, I ended up reducing my VHC position, between yesterday and today, by 25%. It is still rather large, and going lower, as the jury deliberates the case. The weakness in the stock is reflective of the stakes and people with overexposure, like myself, have sold into a potential risk scenario. Nevertheless, the case should be a W for VHC and the shares should rebound, rather dramatically, on a positive outcome.

I doubled up on ANR and down on EXK, adding to both positions with the appetite of a lion trapped inside of a cage filled with environmentalists. Thanks to the buoyancy of TC, FFIV, ANR and DECK, I am up by 1.5% today–not a bad day for me with all things considered.
