To All
There is something very special about this Raging Bull IDC board that I have found no
where else.

On this Christmas Day (The first of the "Twelve Days of Christmas - lots more of
Christmas left - no need to stuff all the wonders of Christmas into this 24 hours), I'm
very grateful for the regulars here and the great newcomers who are joining our
special IDC community by lurking and posting here.

Jim Lurgio did us an immense favor when he encouraged us to move over here from
Yahoo over a year ago. That leadership is a very important factor in our great
success.

Before long (if not already) there will be some very wealthy folks here. Christmas Day
is a good opportunity to realize that the wealth that comes our way is, like all of
creation, simply entrusted to our care by our Creator, who expects us to use that
wealth to accomplish what our Creator has in mind.

When I met for a regular visit with my spiritual advisor (an ordained minister and PhD
in psychology) a couple of days ago, he had two pieces of advice I'd like to pass
along on this Christmas Day:

1. He said it would be a powerful witness if people saw that I wasn't throwing money
away on new toys for myself - but was looking for ways to truly make a difference in
life. Its the knowledge that one "made a difference" that is most satisfying at the end
of one's life, not having lots and lots of toys and other stuff.

2. This spiritual advisor/psychologist also reminded me that just because I've done
very well with my IDC investment doesn't guarantee my continuing to do well. He said
he's seen many folks do their homework (DD), make an excellent investment, then
forget what it took to make that good investment (lots of homework) and jump into
something else and lose all they had made.

Thanks again to all here - just for being who you are, and sharing that with me!

Have a wonderful TWELVE days of Christmas!

Bill
PS If this sounds a little preachy, that's because it is. Many of you know that I am an
Episcopal priest as well as a certified financial planner; an unusual, but greatly
fulfilling combination.
