Jurgis has a good idea. I personally would recommend going to alsincapital.com and looking at what he has done: 1) he is a top notch value investor -- forensic accounting, 2) started @ KPMG, 3) started managing individual accounts, 4) started writing articles and making public appearances, and 5) opened a mutual fund on April 9th (turnaroundfund.com).

There is a book out there on starting a mutual fund -- can't recall the name but it runs $100+. You, however, may be more interested in managing individual accounts.

Whitney, at tilsonfunds.com, has wrote some articles on developing/marketing oneself in the trade.

A key issue is to let the right people know about your success. It would take just one account and your continued success for the word to get out. That's how James Cramer got started (he began leaving stock messages on his phone while @ Harvard law school). Marty Peretz heard the message and offered him $500k to manage, and the rest is history: Cramer now believes he is god. :)

I wish you the best. It sounds like you are doing terrific work and I look forward to hearing how you do.

What I despise is the number of successful investors who let the success go to their heads and become unbearable to be around. More to life than money. It sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders.
