Have you ever met Ted?  I have.  He is trying to sell books and arouse interest
to expand his accounting business (which is in Fla., N.Y., and soon Marina Del
Rey, Ca.).  Atleast, that is what he told me.  I am not saying the information
he is giving out is incorrect.  However, it is not applicable to the majority
of poeple in our business. Oh, by the way, psst! --  he doesn't trade!!  AMA
