Terry, with BK posting all relevant news ( no matter how rosy the outlook, we have to constantly monitor our assumption set), Brian does most of our heavy lifting. Instead of doom and gloomers, we have some light tweaking between the FA'ers ( who are almost all buy and hold over signifigant time periods) and the TA'ers. Speaking of which, buy and hold RULES! :) Yep, pretty mellow board, I mean Tito is obviously too busy on the beach to even show up anymore. Edit: Captain Morgan on CNBC coming up.
