Fielding,

No nerves struck.... no need to be sorry.

I can understand your problem, if as you say you've only had losing picks to show for 2 years of following him. The ones you identified have been some of his slowest to develop. Any reason why you didn't grab a financial stock (CCI, FTU, CCR, NDE, STD, ESF), or a drug stock (RP, GLX, NVTSY), or something in the telecom. arena (ERICY, T, GTE) during that time? I admit that he does take a while to exit companies (although PDG came and went pretty fast), but if you always sell stocks that go down immediately, then you often miss out on a huge rebound (see BLY, PHG, MGA, CCI, SHBZ).

I don't have any suggestions for other advisors, since I do most of my own picking other than JD suggestions. I've had some successes, and some failures as well, so it makes me understand the occasional JD mistake all the more.
