No, siree! I make sure I'm invested in the same stocks he is (except Gillette <ggg>). Yeah, I admit it. I owned Abercrombie and Fitch. But not anymore. And he won't either, when it gets back to even. My biggest regret is that I didn't buy him JDSU last April when I did. And I usually buy the same stocks for him as I get for myself. I would have loved to have seen his reaction to that 4 bagger. And it wouldn't have gone to his head that this is what investing is all about either, cuz of some of the other's he's following. I just thought it was too risky for him. I still got some big, huge scars from those penny stocks that's got me more conservative than I might otherwise be. Hey, it took me a couple of months checking out Q before I finally took a dip. Now, it's got an equal initial investment as JDSU. Here's one for ya. He came home for semester break and asked if I'd ever heard of CMGI. I told him yeah, but where did he hear about it. His girlfriend's father. Now, I got competition. I told him that CMGI invests in internutz, and where sticking with the infrastructure <ggg>. How's retirement? Marc
