>>>T, Armadillos are flattened on highways all across Texas, so it is apropos for Beemer to head the list. <g>

Funny! As usual.

OK, how about "sleepers," otherwise known as "possum stocks."

I have actually chased armadillos (on foot) in Texas. Good exercise, since they are excellent at reversing field. The more I think about armadillos, the better the analogy with stocks becomes.

I just realized that every time stock markets in Europe drop, some of that money may well flow into the US market, so there may be a see-saw motion until the US ceases to seem a safe haven.

Armadillers are relatively new arrival in Missouri -- just the last couple of years has seen a huge influx of the critters. Global warming or they just didn't like the competition in Ark??

... we also have a new biting fly up here. First year I've seen them. We've always had horseflies -- the BIG ones -- but this is a little critter with stripes. leaves a nice big welt ...
