Speaking of Financial Shenanigans, I check it out a week or so ago, on the advice of Mr. P$nk. However, in the little time I had for a brief flip through, it seemed to be pretty basic, i.e., stuff I probably already know. Things such as growing A/R, cashflow vs. GAAP earnings, that sort of stuff. Can anyone who has read it comment on this? Is it a first level introductory book, or is there more there that I simply didn't see in my quick scan? I'd even consider buying it if there were a few good anecdotes. - Daniel

grizzled veterans wisdom and perspective Of course I'm something of a young turk myself, but I doubt there is such a thing. If there is, then, as a description, it appears to be rarely distributed correctly. SI's a good example. With rare exceptions, it is rather difficult to pin down a person's age/experience by their stock picks/ideas. And no matter experience, most of the masses are doomed to about average or worse. And via my site I get e-mails from people as young as 13 that sound like they know what they're doing by and large. Mike
