I haven’t thought about my stock in Playboy in quite a while, but I recently found out that it’s down below $5! I have about 30 shares from back when I used to work there.

I’ve got my own little sandbox now over at E-Trade with a dozen Uranium stocks in it. Last week’s stock market dive bottomed out on Monday, when I backed up the truck to load up on my favorite Uranium picks.
