I never viewed your comments as a personal attack. I by far am not a savvy investor, but I have made good money in the market with good companies. I listen well and seek the advise of educated individuals such as yourself. Every failure comes with a price. It also gives us experience if we analyze our failure. But if we get good advise, as I hope most of those participating on this board would want to give, then we will all make money. A great mentor of mine once told me "That even a broken clock is right twice a day". Hope to converse with you later. Michael K.
