By the way...

I hope you took my advice and placed a few friendly wagers on a Bush victory in the wake of the Redskins loss. You're probably not going to catch too many "investment" tips from this blog, so get 'em when they're hot.

As for me, I happen to work primarily with engineers who, with the exception of hustling products out the door sans adequate testing, are otherwise averse to gambling. So my pre-election "wagering" consisted of standing pat on certain equity positions in the Nasdaq. Yes it was profitable, but you just don't get that same smug sense of self-satisfaction as you get from winning a face-to-face bet.
