I agree that his delivery system needs change. However, his rating is based on his newsletter performance not ours. If we are left with buying in after an increase or selling after a sell off it doesn't show in his newsletter prices. I have stopped using his newsletter as a buy signal unless the stock has taken a hit after his letter comes out (which has happened more in the last few years). I'm watching his stocks after they have been on his list for a while and have gotten some better buys (but sometimes they are still falling as I buy in). Any thoughts on which 'great stocks' he will be hyping tonight?

Viv, I certainly agree with your comment about the mails. I have noticed more than once that a stock that I am interested in has already started up when I get the newsletter. JD is stuck in a time warp. He is doing business just like he was in 1982. He needs to offer a web page to his subscribers and post his newsletter on the same day each month, or e-mail his recommendations so that there will be simultaneous receipt by subscribers. It is not right for the subscribers near Baltimore (or whereever it is mailed) to get the newsletter several days ahead of some subscribers. He also needs to offer "free" e-mail weekly updates.
