Re: Barrons - other random questions
Copper has risen all the way to $1.65/pound. Maybe it goes higher, but still how much money can a company make digging for something that costs less than a cheap cut of meat at the supermarket? ...

Re: final 4 thoughts..
I totally agree Scalfie, that is a curiously high line. Might even venture into a BAD line. Look at the two teams recent performances, other than the OT game today, neither is coming in over 140...

Re: Crimson Tide +8.5?
Same thing as I said with Duke. You are betting against a strong team, excellent coach, and a squad that can taste the Final 4. Don't bet teams at this point thinking the points are too generous. ...

Re: Shoe In of the Week
The number seems a bit inflated, but this is where laying bigger chalk starts to make sense. A veteran team led by a great coach goes out of their way to demolish their opponent if they can. There...

Re: Selling Short Long Bonds?????

Re: How beatable is a 15 cent line?
