[blygh]

Well a win is a win even though I am the least distance back from the starting line. I still am going to bet on high dividend stocks as folks go away in May - HGT long (12.65% dividend)

Congrats Blygh!
A win is a win!
I'll continue with a short of GS- This week it is called before Congress to justify it's taking short positions against the mortgage securities it sold- That was smart trading to adapt to changing markets- ..... but a public flogging is called for!
This week GS will be the poster child for the President's upcoming push for financial reform-
Good Luck, SD
