Hi SAM, Looks like that Tech Fund has been a dandy. Nice gains with moderated risk. And not far from Buynhold's results. After a couple of corrections we usually end up with more shares than the Buy&Holders and then it's hard for them to beat us. Thanks for sharing your results. This gal sounds like she needs to start accumulating ASAP. I'll give her your web site in my reply. "HI TOM, I'M A MIDDLE AGED DIVORCED WOMAN WITH A FULL TIME JOB, NO RETIREMENT, AND ABOUT 1000.00 AVAILABLE TO INVEST. NOT SURE WHICH WAY TO GO & CAN'T AFFORD TO TIE UP TO MUCH AT ONE TIME. LOOKING FOR SAFE ADVISE. THANKS, MW" Getting started is always the hardest part. It would be important for her to start an IRA (Roth or otherwise) so that she can get a retirement account growing in a tax free environment. I'd think that Twinvest would be the answer. Any thoughts from the peanut gallery? Which would be better for someone in her situation; Roth or Regular IRA? Best regards, Tom
