Hi Guys,
Make no mistake about the importance of the annual Army-Navy game. For both sides of the football, it is not a game, it is a war. The outcome will be remembered by both Army and Navy First Classmen forever.
Navy has the superior won/loss record this year and has a 14-year winning streak. The knowledgeable experts have rewarded them with roughly a 2 to 1 odds advantage. I suspect these experts have about the same forecasting record as those in the investment business. So I'm not overly impressed.
The underdog odds seem attractive, especially since this particular war will be fought with high emotions. Consequently, the impact of talent will be diminished, and luck will be a major factor like in many sporting and investment events.
I predict an Army victory. Go Army!
Truth be told, I always favor the Army team. The last decade or more has been painful given the outcomes, but I remain optimistic. It's not that I'm a slow learner. It's mostly about that I'm an Army veteran. In this instance, loyalty overpowers wisdom when making a supportive decision. Sometimes, that's also true when making an investment decision.
Your thoughts on this "war" will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards.

I will take Navy of course, being a jarhead. However, I believe their star went down this past game so WTF knows.
OoohRah!

Persistence can change defeat into a victory. But in this instance it took 15 years of persistence to accomplish that goal. I don't claim any prescience, perhaps just some luck given the many turnovers in the game. I should be so lucky in my portfolio selections.
Thanks for participating.
Best Wishes.
yay for army persistence
navy sub QB looked great on that run
