Lindy Bill: The url's are now, have been and I assume will continue to be a problem. As is the data which seems to fluctuate wildly. Beyond my ken. The actual data on the Q is: Bt 720 shares @ 6.9297on Jan 4, 1999 @ cost of $ 4, 989. (This reflects the 4:1 split ) This was half of the $ 10, 000 originally invested. These 720 shares (following the 4:1 split) @ 176.125 = $ 126, 810. The gain is $ 126, 810 less $ 4, 989 = $ 121, 821. $121, 821 divided by $ 4, 989 is 2,441 % - plus a tad. Sorry SI is unreliable. But what else is new. Cha2 And of course, the best results are yours, the Q only. Beats the One, One, One easily. PS This is the data as I understand that data. Will welcome and accept any correction. My interest in this is order of magnitude. That was what the One, One, One was about.

In my ongoing effort to contribute something/anything to this great thread.... Many of us reference Amazon.com for purchasing books recommended here, and I agree it is a great source of information and they have always efficiently filled all of my orders. However, once your decision to purchase has been made, try: bestbookbuys.com It will browse numerous online bookstores for new & used books, then list them by price. Have never had any problems with any of their source sites either. And you of course should always invest your savings appropriately! ;) An aside.... One of my patients is an Investment Vice President in a brokerage firm, and we always discuss stocks and investment strategies as time permits. I had recommended she read TFM (not in THOSE terms of course) early in the year, and she was aware of the holdings in my portfolio (Q,CSCO,JDSU,NTAP). Well... she was in the office 2 weeks ago and started our conversation - "What was the name of THAT BOOK again". She wanted to give it to a few of her clients for Christmas. Hopefully she read it herself! Thanks again to everyone that have contributed so greatly to my family's future. Happy New Year. Hopefully yours will be Happy, Healthy & financially productive (in that order!) snooz

I got up early and watched Dr J. on ABC. He appeared especially happy and confident. Grant, on the other hand, seemed glum. Perhaps because he advanced a typical "elevator" argument. You know, "everytime I've left the ground before it has been by elevator. And we know that all elevators rides have certain characteristics in common: they never go higher than 100 floors off the ground, they go up and down, they usually let you off on the ground floor, and the ride never, ever, takes longer than 5 minutes. As, by my calculations, we are now over 300 floors off the ground, and the ride has lasted well over 15 minutes, things must end badly." And if, in fact, we are in an elevator, things will end badly. That's why we earn a profit by risking our capital. - Fred
