Most Excellent, Is7550, but where can I get a legit copy of Newport? I have a couple of machines that I can run Puppy Linux on. I haven't run it or Damn Small Linux in a while but it would not be all that hard to get up to speed again. I also run NetBSD and OpenBSD. Alas, I can't move to them completely yet. Quite possibly it could run on one of those as well.
BTW, your comments on mid-caps for the most part matches the AAII portfolio. Price to book ratio <0.8, market capitalization between $30 and $300 million, positive earnings and several more criteria. Since 1993 17.8%/year versus Vanguard 500 Index (VFINX) at 9.3% and Vanguard Small Cap Index (NAESX) of 10.6%. The dollar amounts (starting at $10K) are $345,501, $69,156 and $88,063. I think these figures prove your point.
Warmest Regards,
Allen
