The Buffet thread has been interesting over the last week or so - just about 
taken my mind off my lost on FFS (should of believed my stop loss). Anyway - 
to those Buffet experts which I am not one. On a recent study I see that 65% 
of Americans drink Coca Cola for breakfast. If "V" could capture into that 
sort of market then FRU shareholders would be smiling. For those doing the 
Buffet analysis, I would be interested to se whether FRU stacks up as a 
Buffet criteria stock. FRU has dropped to $2 as of today.
DISC - do not hold FRU but still holding FFS.
