As with life.  As a child I liked collecting thin

As with life.  As a child I liked collecting things. Insects, coins, stamps. Took the time.  Now I have more time to devote to other pursuits, investing being one of them. Following other successful people cuts down the time of the learning curve. I suppose a doctor could learn to be a surgeon without a mentor, but it would take a lot longer and there would be more suffering involved.  Thanks again.  My best to you, Jim
