It is also a hobby and something I very much enjoy doing. But could very well be that something like you suggest is what I might do when I get very old. I meet very regularly with a fund manager at the company where I have my stocks. He's a nice guy and we always have very good inspirational discussions. He talks me through his decision process and why he buys what he buys for his fund, and sometimes I tag a long, and sometimes I don't. --8323328-861682585-1735384266=:3396--
