My 2 cents.... You're right, Jim, you didn't point any fingers. And its ok to mention the, er, silliness of some folks who blather like a politician with their finger in the air, swaying this way and that. What always puzzled me was what office he was running for. Well, he finally made a bold decision for once. Time will tell if he was right or wrong. IMO, it was wrong BWDIK. L BTW, did you realize the last post of yours I responded to was #2K? Lucky dog, you. And I have no tact....except when it comes to using foul language.

Agree with your comment about newsletters. Barrons runs a smattering of summaries each week, and they frequently contradict each other. Hulbert or someone like that monitors them, and finds that few if any measure up to the market averages themselves. I subscribe to one, but only take a few of the suggestions I find there, those are always confirmed from several different approaches. Zacks, review of boards like this, MoneyCentral (MS)wizzard and Schwab Signature Research functions. When I begin to see a logical trend backed up by a reasonable looking upward chart, or by a temporary dip (turn a round prospect), I will often start accumulating. So I find the newsletters just another bit of information as to what to look at. One thing that I have noticed is that the newsletters will sell their losers and let their winners ride resulting in a portfolio that looks successful to the new peruser. Old hands quickly learn that this approach distorts the true picture of their success over time, because you never see the mistakes of the past.
