I prefer Proctor just like I spell color, colour and flavour instead of flavor. How about next time I just use PG? Ps At what price would you buy Amzn again? Do you think Amzns book sales being profitable or not will be important to its stock price for the next several months?

William, I had to show you this. I had no idea that fools would actually pay David Gardner for his investment advice. I'm serious!! >WHO' S THE WORLD' S best investor? Could it be a mere Fool? Someone with simply a college degree in English, who' s never worked on Wall Street? Meet David Gardner, co-founder of the Motley Fool and manager of the Fool' s Rule Breaker Portfolio, which has trounced the market and all mutual funds we know of over the past five years. In 1994, David invested $50,000 of his own money and hasn' t added any dollars. Since then, the portfolio has advanced more than 1,500 percent, surpassing $800,000 in value. Annualized, that' s 66 percent per year. David isn' t a business school-trained whiz kid, but someone kind of like us. His full-time job is running his own company, not scouring the stock market for stocks. Just like us, he' s a busy person who' s made some mistakes and seen some investments implode. He' s also plunked dollars into some companies that have grown very quickly, such as America Online and Amazon.com. In short, he' s a Fool. And like any Fool, he studies stocks not alone, but with thousands of others who share their knowledge, insights and opinions on our free message boards. Together we can access more information than any celebrity fund manager, and the result is a thriving community that has spotted some of the best investments in recent years. The Fool community drew David' s attention to companies such as Celera Genomics, which advanced some 180 percent in a single month. To learn more about Rule Breaking, visit our Strategies area at www.fool.com/strategies.htm, where David lays out the Rule Breaker Portfolio principles for you. (For instance, look for top dogs and first movers in important, emerging industries and for companies with sustainable advantages.) Rule Breaker investing involves taking on a lot of risk, but David believes that for experienced and Foolish investors, high risk will lead to high reward. Alternatively, consider signing up for David' s e-mail Rule Breaker seminar, in which he' ll teach Rule Breaking step by step and will lead the class to unearth a new Rule Breaking stock (there' s a small fee involved). Head to www.rulebreaker.fool.com for more on this innovative, new way to learn online. The more you learn about investing, the better your investments should perform.
