Bruce, at my (High School), it's like people look at me and think I'm crazy!!! I'm in my early thirties and live in a great house, my wife and I drive vehicles that average $20+ thous' apiece etc... I mean, I am very thankful and help a few out here and there but, they all think I must be run'in drugs or something!

I pulled up at the office the other day in a new Chrysler LHS,(Thanks to DELL and some of those net stocks!) and I get the look of death!

I am indeed thankful and never take it for granted!!

Best to you!

Bruce - could it be that they don't plan to be in the education profession for very long?

The tax benefits alone are attractive, let alone the potential investment gains, but you can lead a horse to water (yada, yada, yada).

Keep lurking - every once in a while you'll get some pretty sound investment suggestions. Some of it is more technical and some of it is just plain bizarre, but don't get wrapped up in it - there aren't enough hours in the day to make a living AND play the stock market effectively (as in, profitably).

GO LONG!

Mr. K.

re I'll keep trying to get people to buy DELL though
Me too.
And I've been unsuccessful.
And, each split-and-go-up they say "Oh its too expensive now"
Oh well.
(But I still drive my 1984 Toyota Tercel station wagon, its my friend and now has 320,000 on the original engine.I'm still in the accumulation phase and cant cash any in for a few years yet.)

Bruce,
Hi!!! << I'll keep trying to get people to BUY DELL, though.>>

Thanks for the kind words...my Aunt always told me I'd make a great one...but, I always felt that selling something I didn't believe in was deceiving and quite frankly boring...kids and coaching are a ton of fun...can sell motivation to them all day...teaching is a piece of cake...motivating is the trick..
With regards to selling Dell to colleagues or friends...that is the easiest thing I have ever done...it is in my eyes when I talk to my colleagues and friends...sincere and exciting...Dell is so exciting..to be a part of all this..to come home and realize they are conquering the business world...from a dorm room!!! ..Speaking of the dorm room...I frequently tell my friends that I daily visual Michael selling each computer like the very first...going door to door...and I believe he is still doing that with the service and quality... Try telling the ones that are interested if they want to be a part of the greatest company in the 20th and to be 21st century...a company that sells a product that is a bargain...is the best quality by far...and backs it with service where they keep their word..

Best, Kemble
