The market had another dismal performance today with the Dow closing at 11,326.32, down (51.70), and the Nasdaq down (14.59) at 2,310.96.  The S&P index dipped (7.07) to 1,260.31.  Oil rebounded from the recent correction and climbed $1.02 on the day to $125.10/barrel.

Robert,
In fact I selected this stock, inspired by various sources, some 64 days ago in Socialpicks; GHM has a foot in both the food and energy sector.
This call was made on 06/04/08 @ $74.98
Rating: Positive $74.98 (06/04/08)
Gain/Loss: +37.58% in 64 days
Target: in > one year
Allocation: 0.7% of portfolio

and subsequently added GHM in my ARQLY fund at Marketocracy.
I'm happy to be an amateur investor too and selecting picks from sources I believe reliable.
Performance does count after all!
