Thanks for the mention Sam… figured the mention of a BMW would grab your attention!

@Valentina
That’s right! You are in Vancouver! Awesome! I saw Alex Bilodeau’s gold medal moguls freestyle run yest. Amazing speed and jumps! Congrats on finally winning gold on home soil!

Have a spanking good time and a USA vs. Canada hockey final would be a dream come true!

Up here in Vancouver we are celebrating, celebrating & celebrating (did I say we are celebrating?)

The biggest celebration is that we are hosting the world to the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Never mind all the athletic events and the athletes – but the whole downtown is one virtual party. There are some 100 pavilions that have been put up by countries, provinces (that’s like “states”), and big time companies. One of the most popular pavilions is Heinneken (who’d have thought?).

Then one of our athletes, Alexandre Bilodeau, gives a huge Valentine’s gift to Canada – a Gold! This is the third time that Canada is hosting the Olympic Games (one summer and two Winters) but we have never won a gold on home turf! Can you imagine! No home gold. Now the drought is broken! That has got to be cool. Takes some pressure off of our hockey team (I think that if they don’t bring home the gold they will be blued, tarred and tatooed and maybe even worse :-(

Chinese New Year … we have a large Chinese population here in Vancouver that goes all out every year in celebrating the Chinese New Year. They always put on a good show with the dragon dance and lots of other special events … and just try to find a seat in any Chinese restaurant without having to wait – we have awesome Chinese restaurants here, even the Chinese who visit from Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Mainland China are impressed, and that’s saying something!

Hi Sam, sorry ABM disappointed yet another week. Barely above what it was last week.

1 year target estimate is still $25.50, and the dividend yield is 2.7% which makes up for the slight drop in price. The MACD is still trending up so maybe we’ll see some movement soon.

I was born in the year of the Rooster, how about you?

Thanks for the mention! (BTW check out the cool infographic I just posted in the link below as I remember you had left some good insight into an earlier post about Haiti donation statistics).

@Money Reasons
No prob! Hope you had a good one!

@Matt S.
It’s all one big conspiracy! Definitely maybe!

@Monevator
Yeah, pretty shameful to have such a dog in MWW, but I didn’t expect much from ya, so no sweat! Hope you had fun hanging out with the elders!

@J. Money
I donno, for some reason the phrase, “Roger, You Tiger now” is so funny to me. Comcast should re-air the commercial for the start of the new year. No brainer!

@Charlie
HAR en fuego Charlie! Well done mate!

It’s no accident.
I believe the forces of capitalism tie holidays together for maximum spending. This is why Super Bowl Sunday was moved closer to Valentine’s Day–to increase sales driven by male guilt.
Except for SMBs, of course.

Thanks for the mention Sam, which was very generous of you given the terrible performance of MWW. I still think the economy is going to boom back and Monster will be well-placed (err, of my two choices, one of which was taken!) but it is lonely down here in the red. *sniff*
