 threadsters:
 
 When I put my portfolio together, I came up one stock short.  Yes, I now wish that I'd have come up six short, but I was only short one.
 
 So, I just picked one that looked leveraged from Wilder's portfolio, and submitted the sucker.  I've been blaming him all year, taking cruel little pokes.  So....    I nominate Wilder as "Good-Natured Target of the Year".
 
 An aside....     when he saw the pick in my portfolio, he came to me in PM, asking what it was about the pick that excited me.  I told the truth, and he's taken a few good-natured shots at me this year, as well.  Don't know if anyone noticed.
 
 Anyway....   just another small part of the fun.  Thanks, Michael, for hosting.  Thanks, Biofreaks, for sharing the ideas, joy/pain and friendship.
