I like big boats and I cannot lie. Of course, I like the boats when my friend owns it because that is not a check I am trying to write. Boat stands for “Bust Out Another Thousand.” There are plenty of folks out there investing in their own watercraft.

That is helping spur a huge run in earnings for today’s Bull of the Day.
