I recognize the portfolio Allan, but I'll let you tell the folks. But, how are they doing this year? Last I checked, they hadn't been doing all that well. Ken

Re: "Any comments before I identify the source?" It looks like a very high beta (very risky) portfolio to me. Best wishes, I2

(King) Allan: Based on the aforementioned Foolish, or rather, Foolian portfolio, there is much for which to be thankful, the reported stellar returns notwithstanding. That is to say, the braggadocious Motley Fools seemingly spared themselves of the agony of penury doubtless inflicted on more than a few trusting Money Talk listeners some while ago. At that time, Brinker's listeners were subjected to a near hysterical, intemperate, and long-winded hyping of Rain Forest Cafe Inc. by these same glib know-it-alls on the veritable eve of that firm's announcement of drastically disappointing earnings and the subsequent annihilation of its stock price, still hovering near its 52 week lows. In my book, not all the returns befitting a Croesus nor all the King's horses and men could ever salvage whatever little honor these two-faced, unapologetic, double-talking mountebanks may have once possessed.
