that sucks flu. I’m slightly above break-even with my “recession-proof” stocks in Johnson and Johnson and Proctor/Gamble. With my short on UPS which I hypothesized (I think on one of Alex_Angel’s previous threads) would be hard hit by fuel costs, I’m up 4%. Had it for about a month.
With articles like this one in today’s WSJ I wish I shorted FedEx as well as UPS but I like FedEx so didn’t short it (stupid emotions).
