Happy to see the reliable British helping us on the interest rate front. From BBC news. Jeff << The UK economy failed to grow at all in the first quarter of 1999. This has raised fears of a recession - and hopes of an interest rate cut by the Bank of England. The economy was flat between the end of 1998 and April 1999, after growing by only 0.1% in the last quarter of 1998. >> news.bbc.co.uk

Ian: Re: "My opinion of most newsletter sellers, etc. is that they just aren't philanthropists with altruistic motivations. Rather, this is their business; and it's their business because they've found it to be more lucrative than taking their own advice." I understand. All I can say is that Brinker is a professional in my personal experience and that most here on this thread would agree with this opinion.

<<My opinion of most newsletter sellers, etc. is that they just aren't philanthropists with altruistic motivations. Rather, this is their business; and it's their business because they've found it to be more lucrative than taking their own advice.>> At $185 per year per subscriber, less expenses, plus whatever income Bob derives from ABC, I hardly think he qualifies as a philanthropist. So far, however, Bob would have done very well to take his own advice, and as such can be said to have delivered very good value for the money. A good formula for the success of any business, I would say.
