My good friend Susan Hessel is recovering from surgery today for breast cancer.  Last week, to explain to her friends, she wrote a piece about her own experience with this disease.  Always smiling, always optimistic about what life was handing her, I asked her if she would kindly allow me to share with my own readers her words that are far more eloquent and informative than anything I could write here about this disease that strikes so many women today.  She consented to me blogging her words;...

"Blinking" on Colgate Palmolive (CL)

Holding Rationale for CL.


Hello Again my friends!  It is late and I am having a bit of seller's remorse.  Earlier today I parted company with my shares of Colgate (CL) because of a slight miss on revenue while earnings exceeded expectations in the latest report.
