JH, Re: Market Read
I've been having some fun tonight posting some views on that issue. Pull me up and they are before you. <gg> Very important is that one of my sandbox mentors went bullish tonight for the first time in two years.
I used to have some fun as an umpire when I did a game where I didn't know the folks involved. I called the game: guess who the coach's son is? Sadly, I usually won the game. My youngest, who graduated from high school in May and will get his college Associates degree next month, asked me why I didn't encourage him in sports. I could only state: well, son, if you honestly look back upon the experience, you really weren't very good. Nonetheless, from my very front row seat, I always enjoyed watching the exceptional athletes.
What I always stressed, and part of the reason that we were never affiliated with LL, is that only 5% of the 10-12 year olds will play high school sports, only 1% will play at the college level, and none will be a pro. Just the facts. That said, we raised so much money, that we could, after the regular season ended, field, uniform and equip 6 tournament teams. Essentially, anyone that wanted to play on a tournament team could.
Part of why I moved to FL is that I just enjoyed it too much. In addition to over 100 baseball teams, we ran basketball, football, softball, and a whole lot of other "stuff."
As to the Market, good, bad or indifferent, I hope it sells off in the morning, as I want to enter long.
