He can be more clear, they are in divorce talks, until the legal details are complete, nothing more will be said. Will not affect his newsletter going forward, per his words at a breakfast meeting in DC last weekend

Dan, No, I must have missed that part. I only skimmed through the May newsletter and I haven't had the opportunity to go back and read it cover-to-cover. Even though John would sing the praises of Tom McIntyre I never saw anything earth shattering out of him. He would make him seminar picks and not really produce the numbers to show why he thought these stocks would take off. Frankly, I have kept charts and I perform as well as he does. I agree with you that things have quieted down significantly. I certainly hear a lot less grumbling. Did you send any e-mails to JD's website about switching out of Ericy and into Qualcomm? He has made several mentions of why he is sticking with Ericy recently. Almost like he is trying to reassure himself. Good Luck, Steve

I had the same reaction. One would think after having actively promoted the fund via his newsletter, that his subscribers deserved a bit more thorough response. I certainly hope that those who invested receive a more specific explanation than those of us who are merely curious as subscribers. It is a principle, if not a law, of communication that when there is a vacuum and a hunger for information, that the vacuum will be filled by someone. Any takers?

Finally cancelled my subscription to John's newsletter last week. Should have cancelled it long ago. My major frustration with John is simply that he doesn't provide enough fundamentals with his recommendations. Very little growth rate info, too little P/E info, little info on profits. Makes his recommendations tough to evaluate. In fact, based on his CPPKY fiasco, it appears that he doesn't pay too much attention to fundamentals himself. I must say he's been right on in his predictions of interest rates however.
