<< I have a general question for the thread...How many of you are gaining a reputation as a "stock guru" because of your history in purchasing QOCM and how many of you feel responsible for the wealth of friends and family simply due to the fact that people keep asking your advice regarding stocks and QCOM in particular?>>

Randall: I go overboard to avoid finding myself in that situation; it's the last thing I want. I know a fellow who rec'd a stock to his mother-in-law at $32 riding the ego wave of being the stock player in the family. It was at a highly visible (to the family) and often mentioned $6 when the family gathered together for Christmas. Ouch!!! He was lucky if he got to lick the grease out of the bottom of the roaster pan after everyone else enjoyed the ham (he, obviously, was the turkey <ggg>). 'Course the guy would have been elevated to genius status if the stock had been at $50.)

I'll talk about sectors and companies I like but make it clear that any broker contact is strictly after their own DD. Bottom line: I'll help them learn but never push. There's enough risk in handling my own accounts.

Will be interesting to see other responses.
