Wait... so it really is 83 bucks for 40,000 cows?

'cause I'd be in on that in an instant. Thats a lot of steak.

Stock is similar in the idea of using leverage to control a larger interest. Most stocks are closer to 50% margin. I don't deal in stocks, and there are substantial differences. For instance, if weather is unfavorable for soybeans in Iowa, I can see changes in soybean prices. Bad weather doesn't affect the value of Yahoo. It's almost completely subjective value when you measure stocks. Commodities are based on their actual value. For instance, you wouldn't pay the full price of a bushel of corn when that bushel is small or of poor quality.

Anyway, stocks are different, but there are some similarities.

I got one present about a month ago... HURST shifter

Presents from the inlaws last night...

-A popcorn machine, like a movie one, not a POS little one.
-Some horse stuff I needs, boots, rain coat, hoof pic... ya know horse stuff.
-A robe b/c my wife got sick of me wearing heres, plus the lace was chafing my legs.
-A couple shop lights, nice magnetic ones! Not that I will ever magnet them to the Camaro but its a great gift none the less.
-An SSR (bluck) Hallmark ornament and a 50s T-bird ornament.

My family will be here tomorrow so we will be exchanging tomorrow.
