All I can tell you guys is that I think Curt's posting has a lot more value than any others I've read. But I don't read tabs...he's on my ignore list. I have read his investment posts on the S registry board, and putting it mildly, I disagree with what he says he thinks. I doubt that he thinks at all, but merely regurgitates what he heard on one financial TV show or another. This is coming from a guy who is married to an ex bank employee wife, who is my "financial advisor"...our investment portfolio has yet to suffer an annual loss, but we pretty much pulled out of equities in January of 2000, and the "gains" have been damned small since then. But at least they aren't losses. "financial advisors"? Beware of the fins swimming around you as you tread water with money in your teeth. Do your own study, do your own research. And this takes time...there is no easy answer. Believe me, no "financial advisor" cares more about your money than you do, and many of them only want to see a Ferrari in their garage, and they don't give a rat's ass whether you have a Porsche in yours or not...
