No, I prefer not to advise people to do anything.

Just in one day, I was chewed out for advising someone not to buy DELL at 80 and in the same conversation my advice on something that would have saved the same 72-year-old-guy 5x as much had to be re-explained.

Here is a guy with several bucks....he remembers NOT making 300,000 on my advice. He's 72 years old. I've been trying to help him move his money to his kids. He has a lot more than 3 very large.

But he's all over me about the 3 V.L.;

Nothing personal, I just do not advise any longer. Perhaps you should have stayed with the trade and perhaps not...but I have chosen to stay the heck out of the advice scene from now on.

I was thinking about the U.S. Investing Championships in January...I would like to try that. Please let me know if you see an ad for it, I never read the magazines it's written up in.
