In the spirit of Python's reflection on how good he has it (and my inability to participate cause things gererally suck here) i thought i'd post something similar but on a less cosmic level.

Don't you love those morning when you wake up earlier than you expected, go have a nice breakfast and watch sqwak box. Then come up to the computer to find yourself being bad mouthed from some loser in Toronto, then check your small cap equities to find out one of them just landed a big contract with an American conglomerate, and the stock soars.

What makes it even better is that i recently (4 days ago) made this a significant position in my portfolio.

POW, what a great day. And the semis are up to so my American chip manufacturer is having a good day!

Ahh.. the uplifting power of capitalism!!!
