OT: (should have been using, sorry!) Terry, back in 2003 I started a "Portfolio" using the Motley Fool stock screener,

http://www.quicken.com/investments/strategyexperts/?strongpicks=fool

I would check it weekly for new entries, and put a 100 shares of each in the "Portfolio". There are now 84 symbols, 49 are up and 35 are down. Overall the portfolio is up 21% which isn't too shabby considering the markets during that time and no effort to be more "selective" on my part. If I had been more sellective in the ones I picked, I'm sure it would have done much better. Some of the bigger winners, UPL up 364%, MVL up 218%. APPX up 178%. The point is, stock selection based on fundamentals is the "safest" way to build assets over time, unless you are a Brad Kelley.

Cash is King until further notice!!!

My comments on companies are usually my opinion of long term success (years). The PPS may go up or down greatly in the meantime depending on the number of greedy suckers with money.
