Tito, In an utopia world I would agree with you, but being realistic I have learned from my own experience that you can not ultimately depend on your broker to do our homework--they just have to many clients to look out for and for them to make $$$$$$ they have to have the turnover of shares. Isn't it kind of foolish on our part to accept the point of view that brokers and/or mutual funds are not going to try an line their pockets with $$$. I may be a little negative in my view of the brokers but I understand they want to earn $$$$$$ as well. It is a very fine balancing act for them to provide excellent service while continuing to earn a good return on their invested time and energies. This is just like we are doing--that of trying to maximize our profit for us the stockholders. This is the reason why this site is so valuable to the small investor--it allows us to use our collective wisdom, experiences and research to try and stay ahead of the big boys, something which is very difficult to do. Regards Paul V Just my opinions.
