All, I said I'd post the hotline info on CIGR but I'm not comfortable about doing that till after the subscribers have a chance to operate based on his recommendations. This is such an unusual situation... Linda

Off Topic Linda I found that it is important to read investment kit of the company that Bill recommended before you buy it. I just try to find things with Bill's eye. I 100% trust his judgement, at the same time, I want to feel comfortable with my decision too. If I don't understand the company's business, such as CNSI, I will be definitely extra cautious about the purchase: either wait and see or put small amount of money into it in the beginning. Bill normally doesn't give timely sell recommendation for his picks. It depends on us to work out our own selling strategies based on his book. If we put our 50% of money into one stock, we have to be extremely cautious and conservative about average down. What if we put it into the wrong one? Take 25% loss no matter what, and exit (like Malcolm)? Well, that take courage to do it, right? We have to reduce the chance of making this kind of mistakes given the fact that we will make this kind of mistakes down the road. I don't expect Bill to be a superman. If we follow his strategies from his book fully, I found we can eliminate majority of his losers (only a few losers). We do have exceptions, but compare with his winning picks, they are relatively insignificant. Ben
