    There will be a buy point for CMG somewhere...maybe not till after the holidays.

    I love using fresh celery to make potato salad but have learned that it must be decontaminated to be safe. I break the celery apart on a separate preparation surface and soak the sticks in a dilute bleach solution before transferring the sticks to the clean preparation surface. You don't want to make your guests sick. I'm always afraid to eat in a restaurant because I can just imagine how the food is prepared. As for airport food...fahgettaboudit.

    You're terrifying me. Due to my desire for expediency all my chicken salad and potato salad is store bought...from costco. I foresee a bought of severe food poisoning in my future.

    Now I think we fit the 'blood in the streets' category. Are we brave enough to trade it?

    Trade:
    With CMG at 548.01
    June 450/440 bull put spread for a net credit of $125
    Yield = 125/875 = 14.3% in 191 days or 27% annualized
    Prob = 74%


    Price............. Profit / Loss......... ROM %
    350.00.............. (875.00)........... -87.50%
    400.00.............. (875.00)........... -87.50%
    440.00.............. (875.00)........... -87.50%
    448.75.................. 0.00................ 0.00%
    450.00.............. 125.00............... 12.50%
    475.00.............. 125.00............... 12.50%
    500.00.............. 125.00............... 12.50%

    risk capital only

    The CNBC gal yesterday was reporting that the issue looked more like norovirus than E Coli. Maybe a little less time worrying about GMO's and more time teaching employees to wash their hands.

    Urban farming. My back yard is full of fruit trees. Vineyard with a few varieties of grapes. Have a raised garden. Chickens, fresh eggs. Of course I live in southern Arizona and can garden all year.
    --- When relatives with young kids come to visit, they are shocked that I eat things right of the tree, grapes off the vine, and from the garden without washing them (as long as they are not in the dirt). They have no concept that food doesn't grow with pesticides all over them in nature.
