I'll tell ya we get both the Bowser report and the Bowser Warrant newsletters here and we've had a heck of a lot better success with the warrant newsletter picks than with the Bowser report! It's not even close...BIPL is a great pick...We were in FTEC once and made money but I'm not sure about it now...although I'm not watching it closely myself Max said about it an issue or two ago that he was concerned that FTEC management didn't seem to be very agressive about growing the business...still at its current price it could have potential from my perspective...

Max has indeed uncovered a few gems. But I guess my thoughts have been swirling around re: the accountability of a newsletter and its editor(s). Don't get me wrong - I'm not trying to shlump my responsibility to do my own research, yada, yada, yada. But to take another view: you, I, or a few hundred or thousand of other subscribers pay what, $47, a year for his suggestions. Each month he features one new stock, his Company of the Month. Can you or I make any assumptions that Max himself has due diligence? How does a stock such as GYMM or a KRAN come to his attention? Does he meet or otherwise talk to mgmt.? Should he? Should he have seen warning signs of poor mgmt. (if such signs were evident)? Again, I don't have any definitive answers (nor do I ask for Max's head on a spear), but this is my feeble attempt to initiate a discussion on how much (or how little) a subscriber can rely on a newsletter to steer it toward quality, well-run companies.
