E!:

OK, you're right, and I'll be the first to admit it; I get distracted easily

No, no...you've misunderstood my comments. I simply meant that I don't have the financial wherewithal to keep pace with that number of acquisitions.(Just between us, though, I think that nasty, nasty TSO was taking a dig at you--sh-h-h, he might be listening..<ggg>) Come to think of it, Duane, your list ain't the shortest I've ever seen either. If memory serves, apart from a tidy number of individual stocks, you have every Van Wagoner fund in the universe.

Let's face it, folks, we're just not cut out to be 'one-stock' kind of investors. Frankly, I'd be bordering on catatonia with one or two holdings even if the returns were superior to my current hare-brained approach.

Is there a 'SPA' (Stock Pickers Anonymous) we can join?

Regards,
Wolf

p.s. Have been following the--um--debate, yeah, that's it--debate on the LSI thread with some interest and amusement. Mr. Lawyer doesn't know that you can't sc***w with an actuary about numbers. Been there--done that.

E! You were running so strong, it almost made one wonder if the old saying about "nobody being perfect" might have had a flaw in it. If you confess to being human, it will make me feel a lot better --- though the heirs would be disappointed if they have to discontinue work on that second shrine to Saint E! <gg> -- none of them had "work" factored into their futures until now....
But please keep us advised on your selections... we can run our own evals and keep those which will put the heirs back on shrine work <GG>>
cheers!
