I wouldnt leave it out of the equation!
I for one wasnt expecting a selling of any amount of shares for a little while at least...guess thats why they filed the 8k last week, so they could let go of a few this week...

I agree with you completely surfer. Wont effect stock price. For short term traders I am starting to wonder when these private investors will start shorting to hedge their investment.

Hadn't read that. Thanks for the heads up. Seems pretty unlikely that $35,000 of planned sells would cause a drop, would it? Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

Alright, so now that the market is closed here is the "data" of my personal Trump Super Premium Vodka taste test.
First, the candidates: Level, Ketel 1, Trump, and Grey Goose They're all in the $28-$32 dollar range.
My brother served up shots of each and I had no idea which one I was evaluating. So the test was fairly "blind". We decided to evaluate these criteria during the test: smell, color, lick, sip, shoot, and aftertaste.
Results for Level: Smell - smell of rubbing alcohol Color - good clarity Lick - citrusy perfume Sip - Alcohol taste fills mouth Shoot - slight burn through throat Aftertaste - perfumy alcohol, like being in the perfume dept. at Macy's.
Results for Ketel 1: Smell - smell of rubbing alcohol, yet not as strong as Level Color - good clarity Lick - peppery and burns Sip - starts smooth and then strong pepper kick fills mouth Shoot - burns more through throat than Level Aftertaste - lingering bitterness, like bitter greens
Results for Grey Goose: Smell - very, very light rubbing alcohol smell Color - good clarity Lick - refreshing, like rose petal water with a hint of fresh basil Sip - nice, lot's of body. No burning sensation Shoot - goes down very easy, no burn Aftertaste - slight "herbal" lingering flavor
Results for Trump: Smell - VERY faint alchohol smell; I REALLY had to get my nose way down into the shot glass to pick up the smell, but it is there. Color - good clarity Lick - so close to like licking water. No taste on tip of tongue. Sip - fills mouth like water and then a very gradual peppery sensation. Not offensive at all. Shoot - It really is like drinking water. No drama whatsoever, but for some reason the refreshing feeling (not taste) reminded me of drinking baby coconut milk. Aftertaste - no aftertaste at all. Again, no drama.
FINAL THOUGHTS AND CONSLUSIONS: All the vodka's tested here did have a rubbing alcohol smell, albeit some stronger than others - the Trump had the very least smell and you really had to get your nose very close to the vodka to pick it up. This rubbing alcohol smell really made a difference when we started to mix martini's. All vodka's pretty much exibited the same color/clarity. I was surprised that the Grey Goose did have an "herbal" flavor, but the thing is made in France so go figure. It is interesting how the Level vodka had a perfumy aftertaste, which seems to go well with the bottle design/presentation. Of all the vodkas, the Trump was most like drinking water - no taste, no aftertaste, no smell, no drama. As such, you really could get ****ed up on this stuff without even knowing it. It also makes for a much nicer mixed drink as it allows the the mixed in flavors to shine instead of the vodka itsefl, which again could lead to getting really ****ed up without even knowing what hit you.
To me, the bottle design of the Trump is very strong masculine, like a broad shouldered torso. The shape is also very architectural in an art deco vein with lines that rise upward, and outward. The gold is nice and along with the shape, one can possibly be reminded of a gold brick/bar. In my opinion, the presentation appeals very strongly to the city and metropolis. The box of the Grey Goose had the saying (or something to the effect) "The Worlds Best Tasting Vodka". The Trump has written on the bottle "The Worlds Best Super Premium Vodka". I thought these were interesting marketing strategies.
To say one particular vodka is better than the others really depends on your preference of what a vodka should taste like. If you like a vodka to taste like nothing, hands down the Trump wins among these.
Well, that's it. As you can see, my taste test is as un-scientific as it comes and by no means am I claiming to be an expert or even vodka conneseur. So take it for what it's worth, I suppose. I want to get a bottle of Jewell Of Russia vodka just to see what that tastes like up against the Trump.
I hope the read was entertaining.

Edit: The writing on the Trump bottle should be "The Wolds Finest Super Premium Vodka"
