CC, I have that beer right here, though it will be gone within 5 minutes. <g>

Houston's weather certainly improves. Come around November, it gets downright purty for a week or two. And we get another fortnight in April. So don't take any vacations those months. <g> Right now my electricity just came back on after the storm knocked it out, so I'm kinda cranky about the weather and more cranky about my apt's ability to keep the necessities going during what was a fairly mild storm. As Ken Houston says in The Houston Chronicle, when a raindrop falls in Conroe, Warner Cable goes blank in Houston. Well, I have that luck with all electricity, not just cable.

Competitive Advantage Period is a serious idea. But it is like saying that all you have to know to win a horse race is which horse will run fastest that day. Thank you very much. Now, which horse. Or, in the case of CAP, thanks for the concept, but has anyone ever been able to forecast this factor correctly? The answer is just as many as have been able to forecast earnings correctly. BTW, when was MU supposed to earn $17 a share? <g>
