<<Easy enuf to quantify. Just look at his YTD #'s>> His YTD #'s on what? His funds? The model portfolios? New picks? What about prior history? And frankly, who cares? I've argued before that if you're using CTSL as your mutual fund or broker then you're not using the letter as you should. You have to decide on what you want to get out of a news letter. For me, CTSL fulfills my needs. I don't want someone telling me what and when to buy- otherwise I'd invest in a mutual fund or get a broker. I like to hear his thoughts on this, but in general I won't blindly follow them. But what I do want is someone to find and narrow down an interesting, high-octane field of candidates, do the basic research on them, and keep me updated on developments. Whereas I wouldn't hire a broker or a fund manager, I would hire an analyst to run around and do basic leg work for me. And if I can get all that for a few hundred dollars, I feel like I'm getting a great deal. So actually I'm looking for someone who gives me the fundamentals and updates me on them, i.e. "sticks" with them and their coverage- I'll do the trading, I'll put in the stops, etc. Anaxagoras
