A woman gets home, screeches her car into the driveway, runs into the house, slams the door and shouts at the top of her lungs, "Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!" The husband says, "Oh, my God! Really? What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?" . . . . . " Doesn't matter," she says. "Just get the hell out."

Has anyone here recently looked at John Deere. I noticed the stock was getting close to $40 and another 20% down used to be a good value for the stock. Well this management team has loaded the company with debt like there is no tomorrow over the last 10 years. Is there an American corporation left with shareholder value left these days!!!!!! Depressing.
