Race. Good evening im Frank Somerville and welcome to a second look. Men and women seeking a challenge like no other race through wild and rugged back country and not just on foot. Bob mackenzie followed a team from right here in the bay area as the adventure began in april of 1995. On a remote hilltop in southern utah. 250 people lined up to get their horses. Each team was issued three horses. Three people of the team will ride two will run. They come from all over. Navy seals, army rangers, die hard runners and all ages from 18 to 72.

Up and down mountains and rivers and some of the most desolate and beautiful countries in the world. Over the grueling course in temperatures that can range from 30 degrees to 90 degrees. They will wear what they can carry, eat and sleep what they can carry, sleep when they must. On this first morning every team is fu

And that will eventually propel stocks higher. So its best to get in on the ground floor than wait. We see it in stocks like Johnson Johnson, which not only cut guidance yesterday, barely got dinged despite the cut, but was featured on the front page of the New York Times today in an article entitled maker aware of 40 failure in hip implant. This stock rallied 16 cents on the news. Come on hallelujah how is that for outrageous . If that hip implant story cant stop their buying, what can . With the internet stocks including the older web plays like amazon, newer ones like linkedin, which are not constrained by traditional metrics. Much more expensive than every other stock out there in the universe. Some regard them as accidents waiting to happen. Others say i dont care how theyre pric
