Robert, I appreciate the question but I had to quit discussing my investing approach because I am so different from the norm I was afraid I would be a bad influence on others who can't be exposed to the same types of risk as I. My son, Chris, handles my investments and it is his full time job. I just do all the talking, Chris does all the work. I work on the computer every day developing simulation models for large companies (GE, for example, is one of my customers) therefore it is convenient, when I am taking a break, to flip over to SI and gab. Sometimes I have more time to gab than others. Have a good weekend and good luck on CCUR. Ken

Robert, when I was younger, with young children etc., I was a very conservative investor. My first 10 years in the market, I never had a losing stock (some declined but recovered and I sold for a profit) but I didn't do much better than average returns because all the stocks were so conservative. After getting all my kids through college and with my house paid for and still making a good living, I can take a few more risks now. Everyone has to carefully evaluate the risks they can take. Ken
