Hello Paul! Always happy to find another friend of the grape in the sandbox.
Been collecting and cellaring since ~1979. Thanks for the Chard recommendations. To return the favor..
1997 Blackstone Merlot- A blend from several California vineyards, medium body, great balance, delicious. Normally don't go for blends but these guys did a great job $11-12 the btl.
1997 Medalla Real Reserve Chard from Santa Rita(Chile)- Medium oak, lush buttery Meursault-like. Normally, this is just a decent restaurant Chard but occasionally they screw up and make really fine wine(^_^). If you find this remember its got to be the 1997 Reserve, accept no substitutes! Ridiculous @ $9 the btl.
Want to spend some of your MR Market easy money?? Better jump on the top 1997 Chablis and Puilly-Fuisse before the're all gone.
Re: Pfizer, I have traded it often and it still stands as my first and best short term option trade. Bot calls @$3 three weeks prior to earnings, called my broker friend when it reached $6 a week later. He said I was crazy to hold thru earnings, which was all the confirmation I needed<g>, earnings blew out, sold at $13. I was holding what, for me, was a lot of contracts, not being a true gunslinger like you-in and out the whole acct in one stock in one day :-). So thanks for the suggestion, will always keep PFE on radar.
Happy 4th -John |
