Howard, Never believe newsletter results. They are all scammed. Post dated and post priced. Which is the real secret behind Value Line's fabulous results. <vbg> Which don't get translated when they manage real money. They look better than Laszlo, on paper, but in their funds, only one, the Leveraged Fund, has outperformed the market over 5 and 10 years. And it isn't so hard to do if you are investing on margin in a bull market, as Leverage Fund does. So, if Laszlo does not have any real money under management, and I don't see real results, I remain sceptical. No, I would never make it in the real work world. I know, I tried. <g> I am always trying to get an edge and either sports or investing is the only place to hone those tendencies.

Maxx99: Re Writing: Done a fair bit of it,....lots of mag articles and a column for an international sailing magazine that ran for about 6-7 years. Fortunately all of it was a "labour of love", while I maintained a professional position, as the monetary benefits were next to nil. Enjoyed it, except when the editors cut even a word of my prose. (how could they not understand that the way I worded it was perfect) (g) Re market career vs professional career. Lucky enough to have done both. Loved teaching kids, although it quite literally consumes your every waking hour. If it doesn't, and if you don't love time with kids, it will destroy you rather quickly. I also had a ball teaching adults how to teach kids (Teachers' College). Stock Market involvement is the most humbling thing I ever tackled. It is a never-ending 10,000 piece puzzle. I love the sleuthing. I also enjoy the money that one can make. I hate the speed with which it can also be lost and the personal stupidity it so accurately underlines in simple, easy-to-comprehend arithmetic (purchase price minus sell price). Sound familiar? (g) Best, Earlie
