Trashed for your Heresey - not! Amen SW! You have expressed what I have been thinking for some time. I too find GG's style anachronistic. He will no doubt blame the modern education system for turning out dullard's.

If I were George Gilder: 1) I personally don't recommend stocks to people that I myself don't own. That way, if it goes down, I don't feel bad because I've lost money, too. If they go up, then others can join the fun, too. If a stockbroker tries to get me to buy a stock, I ask him if he owns any of it. If he does, then it must be OK. 2) Since his picks usually go up, based on people reading his report and buying, if I were him, I would load up on the stocks before making the recommendations. I would require that people working for the GTR not tell anyone else at the risk of being fired. It would be OK for them to get in on the stocks early. I watched this make 1000% last year: moneycentral.msn.com If someone worked for GTR and bought the recommendations before the letter came out every month, I'll bet they would make a 20-40% gain per month, which would add up huge over a year. Problem is, I'm not privy to such info. Guess I need to quit my complaining and try to get a job with them....

Dear Silicon Warrior: No, I commend you for your honesty. I agree a good writer strives to communicate as clear as possible with the least amount of words. Thats how I was taught in College anyhow. As to George's "picks" the problem is this market. People wait with baited breath and RUSH to buy his picks ASAP driving the price of the stock to unsupportable levels. I presume that they believe in the "greater fool theory" and expect to sell to the slower buyer. IMHO it is best to let his picks take their run, wait for the inevitable fallback and then, if you agree with his assessment enter the stock. Course best of all is to be in it before his pick comes out but then you wouldnt need the newsletter would you? JDN
