<However, I became
dissatisfied by his failure to adequately keep me informed about some of his weaker
recommendations on which I lost money. I felt that he fell in love with his stocks, and
frankly, I wanted someone with a less prejudiced viewpoint.>

Yes, I can identify with your assessment to a great extent. I felt his recommendations, silence, and subsequent "sell at near zero" advice on CPPKY, for example, was simply irresponsible. I'd be even more upset I'm sure, if I had more invested in that particular stock. As it stands, I'm still a subscriber to Investor's World, happy with most of his advice, but am less inclined to accept his judgment with the weight I previously applied to it. In the long haul, this is probably a good thing.
