I'm getting kinda bored listening to possible line-ups for the 10-11 season especially with the trade rumors flying about. So the other night i was thinking if i could pick any player who as ever donned the rocket colors to go into the 2010 season who would it be. I have my list and i have my reason for each person on the list. Who would you guys choose?

Five Guys- Burgers and Fries

Ever since Fatburger closed its doors couple of years ago, I've been looking for a new burger joint to hit up anytime i feel like having a good quality burger. No offense to Whataburger, Jack in the Box, McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's though their burgers may be good, they unfortunately never seem to quite fill me up.

A friend had told me about this place, "Five Guys-Burgers and fries" which he said had some of the best burgers he's ever had. I'm always a little weary of my friends opinions when it comes to food, it started when they told me about this awesome little Mexican restaurant which in the end, turned out to be Taco Cabana. When I finally found the time I went to check it out with another friend of mine.
The most expensive burger they had there was the Bacon CheeseBurger at 6.09, I decided to go with that. My friend also followed suit in trying their best burger they had to offer. Which was also the Bacon Cheeseburger. The burgers dont come with fries. When we tried to order two large fries cajun style, the manager there told us that their large fries can serve up to 3 people depending on how hungry they are. Looking around i was a bit skeptical seeing the other patrons with their fries.(They're more like potato wedges)

Their fries come in what most places use for a regular drink cup. So there was a lot of fries. The Cajun fries did have a pretty good kick. Unfortunately I do believe they over seasoned the fries. Which made it hard to eat continuously. We were eating during the lunch hour rush, so procuring a ketchup was a little difficult. The fries are cooked in pure peanut oil.(or so says the menu) Oh by the way, they do offer complementary peanuts(which may contain nuts)



On to the burger. It was quite filling. I will not say it was the best burger I had ever had but its definitely on the top 10 list.

When you ever you get a chance to take a bite out of this burger, you'll notice that it almost dissolves in your mouth. The lettuce, onions, mushrooms were all quite fresh and crisp. Though the burger may look small in the picture, I was quite full in the end. 3 hours later, not only did I still feel full, i was still satisfied with my meal.

On January 5th 2010, I picked 5 publicly traded companies and “purchased” 1000 USD worth of stock . (If you have yet to acquire the means to invest, but still would like to see how you would do in the market, use google/finance or yahoo/finance to track your portfolio performance.) I tracked their performance to this day April 10th 2010.

The Five Companies I chose on Jan 5. 2010 were as follows:

Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ)
30 Shares @ 33.34 per share
Cost Basis = 1000.20

Ford Motor Company (F)
90 Shares @ 10.96 per share
Cost Basis = 986.40

The Coca-Cola Company (KO)
17 Shares @ 56.53 per share
Cost Basis = 961.01

Urban Outfitters Inc (URBN)
28 Shares @ 35.56 per share
Cost Basis = 995.68

Mattel, Inc (MAT)
51 Shares @ 19.58 per share
Cost Basis = 998.58

A total portfolio value of 4,941.87 USD with 58.13 left over from the 5,000 planned to invest.

On April 9, 2010. The Portfolio stood at the Market Value of 5,258.82 USD. A gain of 295.22 USD with an overall return of 5.97%

VZ- Overall return= -9.78% MKT value= 902.40
F- Overall return= 16.06% MKT value= 1144.80
KO-Overall return= -3.43% MKT value= 961.01
URBN- Overall return= 8.44% MKT value= 1079.68
MAT- Overall return= 18.39% MKT value= 1182.18


Based on my opinion of current trends, I believe it wise to sell the URBN and MAT stocks and reinvest.
