Opus, your dad gave good advice. This economic nightmare was brought on by those for whom it is never enough.

I am watching General Mills (GIS). It has been pounded like everything else. I just started to look at it recently.

Yesterday, I threw out a stack of investment magazines that I had forgotten about on a shelf in the office closet. They were all full of advisers' recommendations. Looking through those, I decided that I might as well just ask the Pillsbury Doughboy or Betty Crocker or the Jolly Green Giant what they think about their company. You know, I do think Hamburger Helper is going to become increasingly popular. (I know. I know. GIS sounds a lot like KFT. Redundant of me I guess.)
