I SENT THIS TO TOM....SEE IF YOU AGREE Thank you for your continuing efforts to share your market wisdom with CNBC viewers and attendees at your seminars. I am very grateful for all I have learned from you, your book and your daily Internet service. The knowledge has helped me to become a much savvier investor and, hence, a greater resource for my clients. I want to suggest an alternate medium for you to disseminate your knowledge which may have the effect of simultaneously enhancing seminar attendance, book sales and Internet users. As the old education adage goes, the more senses one can engage during the learning process, the more likely the student is to really grasp the material. In that vein, let me suggest video tapes as an effective medium for you. Two series would be appropriate: 1) Beginning Basics 2) Advanced Concepts These series could be targeted to multiple segments of the investing world; traders, brokers, small investors, etc. For brokers and traders, these could work in tandem with or in addition to the consulting work you do with big houses. For the small investor, they would be powerful tools for demystifying market forces that affect their investments. Though the wisdom in small investors managing their own portfolios is questionable, the inescapable conclusion is that more and more will do so over time. Your tapes might help them avoid destructive decision making. Thank you again for work in public teaching. My only motivation in suggesting alternative media for your message is that you find ways to more effectively and efficiently manage the learning cycle for investing constituencies who have much to learn from you. Sincerely, Nasdaq777
