Speaking of smoking it Portee, I have been hearing several reports now that eating tobacco can actually be good for you. releaves chronic pain and other things ... go figure.

I've also heard that eating pot plants is good for you too. Juicing full plants is a new fad in apparently.

anyway

I've decided not to vote at all, partially becauise I sold the rest of my shares today and so don't have a vested interest. I think the next few months will be hard on the market in general and commodity stocks in particular. Other than a few choice positions which have actually gone up the past few days (off shore African Oil) I am shorting the market in general or sitting on dry powder.

hope I'm wrong but don't mind staying on teh sidelines for a while, been burned too many times to be a deer in headlights again.
