Paul, If you had a TA program I could show you. Until then, I think any broad statements are missing the mark. Do you ever count your lucky stars that you went to work for Intel out of college instead of AMD? Assuming AMD was even around that far back. <G> Jim

Paul, Burt, RE:"To repeat a phrase from a long term Intel poster .. "If the market was mathematical, mathematicians would be millionaires". Actually, I have a B-school pal who was a mathematician and, ironically, he has become a millionaire in the market. But he did it by working in Citibank's derivatives unit and not by investing but by developing and selling structured derivative products to clients. The bank's fractional commission on each transaction adds up when working with big client positions. He never much cared what direction the market went, he was always fully hedged. His skills as a mathematician were invaluable for him to devise these financial instruments, but he never had to risk his own principal. Smart guy. Most of us have to be content with trying to pick good companies. Regards, John Hull
