This is Mrs. Bentley. Nice to meet you! Tonight Baxter is feeling a bit under the weather so I'm filling in to bring you the exciting news in the world of hypothetical financial investments! Since I am not versed in the jargon or science of investing, I am here to bring you the numbers, sans discussion. Tomorrow I hope Baxter will be feeling more like himself, but if not I promise to keep you updated. It sure is exciting to watch these portfolios battle against one another! Let's see who won today!
