A professor once told his students not to take too seriously any investment advice from someone who is still working! Why would anyone who has made so much money waste his time selling his picks? I can understand and applaud the intellectual activity of contemplating the future and publishing learned books on the notion that the future lies ahead. I am also puzzled to see so many investors [?] not bothering to do their own thinking! There are lots of companies creating the future in hi-tech electronics, bio, etc and many opportunities to be uncovered! To name a few: MEMS LEDs OLEDs Smart cards CMOS to replace CCD Reduction in the size of devices to the molecular, aoomic, electron or subatomic particle level etc. etc,. etc. The time you spend in trying to figure out whether to rely on a tip, assuming you can figure out exactly what the tip means, could better be spent in learning the physics or biology or whatever and/or doing your own DD. It seems to this observer that both the tippers and the tippees are wasting their time. Perhaps someone can come up with a good rationalization I I eagerly await response both positive and negative!
