Uncle Frank, I understood your point perfectly. I simply tried to use one message to respond to all. I have not directly complemented you for organizing this thread but I will take the time now. My association with the G&K thread has been wonderful. The handbook gave me something that helped me understand where I have made mistakes before on both the buy and sell side. I have also read "Inside the Tornado" which in addition to adding to my investing knowledge provides a very good model for how to target product introductions with new value added products into the staid and conservative Oil field drilling equipment business. On the downside I now find myself a SI junkie to the point that I may be substituting time here for work. However, I know for a fact that I am building my savings faster here than any other way available to me. Sunny

Uncle Frank and others: I love this thread and am learning a great deal - not to mention finally making money after losing lots chasing " hot stocks". So thank you Frank, Lindybill, Mike Buckley and others. (BTW I've read GG, Inside the Tornado and Crossing the Chasm). I have a question I would appreciate thoughts on. As a Canadian, I can buy only up to 20% foreign content in my retirement account - unless I pay a "fine" of 1% per month on anything over the 20% limit. However, given the great returns on a stock like Q and other gorillas, I wonder if it is not worth paying the fine in order to maximize my returns. The US market provides returns that are far beyond anything the Canadian market can provide, generally speaking Is my thinking wrong?...or fuzzy?...I would like to hear from people more successful than I at making money. thanks
