Mark, Part 3, Some newsletters are nice once overs for free, but are not worth paying for. These include Will Lyon's "Short On Value" and "The Medical Technology Letter." But neither goes into enough detail to make them worth a lot. No, I have no intention of starting a newsletter. I will never say never, as things can change and I hate to be found a hypocrite. But they are not my style. First, my own trading would be greatly restricted, and I make a real good living trading. But newsletter writers have to put subscribers first if they have any ethics at all. Second, it sounds like work. Third, I don't want to have to mess with the SEC unless I have a bevy of corporate lawyers behind me, most of whom are former SEC staffers. A contrarian is always suspected of inside info, front running and other nefarious things. I've been investigated a lot. No big deal when I had top lawyers taking these goofs aside and explaining the situation. But a real hassle if I had to spend a lot of time with the staffers themselves. Now this isn't nasty. Some are very nice folks. But I have yet to meet an SEC staffer who knew anything about contrary opinion or arbitrage techniques. MB
