Vector Vest, IMO is worth what you pay for it...and its free. I like MRVC. But I wouldn't give a dime for Vector Vest's ratings, I don't know how they come up with them. Right before the beginning of the year I bought a basket full of high techs. All were rated sell or hold by Vector Vest. I'm up over 25% on my purchases. Good thing I disregarded what they had to say. Neil

I always like to see a positive evaluation of MRVC, but haven't much faith in the Vectorvest computer program. You can usually guess whether it has a sell, buy or hold recommendation simply by watching the stock price. You also kinda missed the point of the chagrin being expressed by myself and possibly others. I wouldn't have bought MRVC if I didn't think it was a good company and worthy investment. The point is that sometimes you have to trade, rather than buy and hold indefinitely, particularly with smaller company stocks. In my case, I know I just got too greedy. Had I sold when I should have, I would have repurchased many more shares at a much lower basis, and ultimately would make a lot more $$$$$$$$if MRVC becomes the rocket we hope for. mph
