Fear: Greetings to you in Pullman. I used to be a big fan of their football team back in the Bledsoe years when I lived in Oregon. My cousin actually taught at Washington State for a few years (cultural anthropology). She's now with USA State Department. Western Washington is a nice area. We also used to go to McCall Idaho frequently. I wish we had bought some property there 15 years ago. I knew it was going to be a great recreational and retirement area. But, like you are experiencing now, I didn't have sufficient capital at the time. Still, for you to even be investing at this point in your career is admirable. I didn't buy my first stock until I had graduated from college in 1980. I bought stock in one of the first companies to evelop an MRI machine...Fonar. I made money, but you had to deal with brokers by telephone, and the commisions were prohibitive. Thank goodness for on-line trading. I pay $7.00 a trade with Scottrade. It is a whole new world. We certainly need more engineers of every type. I read a statistic about a science fair sponsored by one of the major companies, I don't remember the specifics. There were 60,00 entrants in the USA. There were 6 million entrants in China. We have way too many lawyers and not enough home grown scientists and engineers. Good luck to you.
