I am selling half my position in MZZ today. I still hate the market, but I think it will bounce back up so I can reload.

Obama and Huckleberry won in Iowa. It could be "ding, dong, the witch is dead" for Hillary. I like her domestic programs, but her defense posture is too similar to the disastrous Bush policies. Edwards was fine, but, if you don't know enough not to get $400 haircuts when everyone is watching, you've got a problem.

Huckleberry is a real compassionate conservative. Bush said he was, but he was neither compassionate nor conservative. Other than that, the description was apt. <G> Sort of like The Holy Roman Empire, which was neither holy, Roman, nor an empire.

I have no idea what his foreign policy would be, and, I fear, neither does he. So far, his foreign policy has consisted of luring Texas high schoolers into the U. of Arkansas to play football. <G>

On domestic policy, he is probably the least evil of the Republicrooks. He does have a personality, which can be good or bad. At least it isn't boring.

Still, Huck has no chance in New Hampshire. He has a great shot in South Carolina, but that leaves Giuliani among the undead. Romney could buy the farm if McCain beats him in NH, and McCain always loses South Carolina. So, we could come down to Huck and Giu on Super Tuesday.

This is the most fun race to watch in a long time.

Mike,
IGR and IRFAX have been taking it on the chin. Do you still like them as part of a portfolio, or have conditions changed?
Thanks,
