Yes, your consistency is to be commended. If you aren't already, you
should be making big bucks running a hedge fund operation. ;-)

Quite frankly Don, I owe most all my recent success to you. Both in the
real markets and the 2008 contest. You are the one that first mentioned
both Ken Fisher and Ken Heebner on this group that I read. After
reading Fisher's "The Only Three Questions That Count", it is very easy
to tell that he is 100 percent correct in how to beat the markets in
this day and age. I have been doing his program of global
diversification with some slight modifications since early last summer
and our ****tfolio now is less than a couple of percent off the all time
high set back in Oct. We are substantially ahead of the S&P 500 index
benchmark. I'm very pleased at this point. I was having my doubts last
fall that all my studying and efforts wouldn't be able to beat the
market and was going to throw in the towel at the start of 2008 and put
everything in an index fund. But I got busy on a project and just let
most everything ride thru the correction. Glad I did. We would be
doing even better had I not made the mistake of buying into too much
global and commercial real estate before I read Fisher's book last year.
All I can say about Heebner is that if there is one fund that I would
put all my eggs into, it would be his. ;-) He knows how to play this
game extremely well. We have about 7 percent of ****tfolio in CGMFX. I
also wish we had more. Thanks for telling me to just go for it at the
end of Dec. It is definitely not timing the market that counts but
"time in the market". Of course, it did help when I did some good
buying during last summer's correction. ;-)
