Error or not, at least it is free, if commonsense advice. I know lots of
finance pretenders who love to charge for giving such "sage"
advice...some are greater jokers than guys spamming newsgroups. They
seem very free with advice on how to "invest" others cash.

The best investment in in yourself!

(There are some quality advisors out there, but many car sales
types...in any case, last time I checked I was using all of my ten
thousands of dollars)
