Remember that Eddie Murphy movie "Trading Places?" How did they short the market with the orange juice futures and make a ton of money? If one could predict when the bird flue infests US and Canadian poultry stock there might be a lot of money to be made.
Yup. I bake 5 pounds of chicken daily for the (Katrina) abandoned dogs around here. If I hear about bird flu here, that will stop. (In fact, I have just decided to begin wearing gloves when I prepare that chicken)
