Happy Labor Day
I would like to wish all of my readers a happy Labor Day. I hope that you’ve been enjoying the 3 day weekend (assuming you’re lucky enough to get a 3 day weekend).

So MFIJ is taking a break from posting today to remember fallen veterans. You know, the actual point of Memorial Day. Just in case you thought it was National Bar-B-Que Day. The blog will be back on Wednesday with the regular posting schedule. Stock Analyses will return next Monday. I hope everyone had a great weekend. … Read entire article »
