Mostly: Classical

[Frank Pembleton]

SOB ... I have the book, hardcover too ... but every time I tried to read it, I feel asleep. The fact is the damned thing is a huge snore induced tragedy written by someone who never got rich. Intelligent Investor?

My ass...

Anyway, F/A isn't a strength of mine anyway ... I personally subscribe to over a half dozen newsletters that do this kind of dirty work for me. My favorite stocks are in the high beta sectors like biotech, tech, oilpatch and mining -- and the timing is always up to me. Actually, one of the best advisory services I seen so far for fundamental work is ValueLine:

-- be sure to check out their reports on the Dow30, they're free!

-- in combination with my favorite F/A book -- Super Stocks
by Kenneth Fisher -- there shouldn't be any reason for an investor to lose their shirt in the markets.



...as for Canico, I still think it's a pretty good speculation, there's still at least another 50% in it, if not double from here. My sell had more to do with the ending of the Inco strike and from past experiences, I feel that supply and demand have a way of finding one another sooner rather than later.

Anyway, I'm more of a speculator and less of an investor -- so as you can imagine gold stocks are more interesting to me at the moment.
