Sonny and Mike,

I made an error here.  We bought the following books from Amazon.com:

The new Money Management by Vince
The Mathematics of Money Management by Vince
Money Management Strategies for Future Traders by Balsara

The "Risk of Ruin" chart we're using came from the Balsara book (according
to my brother).  I'm ordering my own copy.

I'm sorry if I misled anybody.

 We used the Vince book.  Seems to work for us.  We discovered that we were
 running a 100% risk of ruin.  We modified our methodology and went to a 0%
 risk of ruin.  You wouldn't think there would be that big a difference
 between investing 50% of your capital and 33%, but our account balances
have
 proven it out. :)
