[Editor's Note: With Andy Reid sorting out a thorny issue with U.S. Customs agents at the Canadian border, The Losers' Investment Club will be on hiatus this week and presumably will return next week when $ARA is hopefully out of the toilet.  At least it's not ROKU, I guess.]   Greetings!  Welcome

Hi everyone, welcome back to the Beat! Last week, Brazil beat the FC-named team, Bite Force went a ho-hum 4-0, and Hydra grabbed the torch from Bronco. This week, it's a special playoff thing, but it's not the top 16! The powers that be that is known as the BattleBots Tournament
