Hi Chris,

I'll add to Charley's and Ira's comments with a slightly different =
perspective.

That is, if you find tools that pay for themselves in additional returns =
early on and the tools continue to work for you, then the cost of the =
tools remains fixed and the cost as a percentage of your ever-growing =
portfolio becomes smaller and smaller.

I pay for Vectorvest, IBD and DGO. I don't take any business magazines, =
investing newsletters or the WSJ. This not only controls costs, but =
reduces distractions.

Katherine

  Chaz,
  You said it very well.  I think it's best for each investor to look =
carefully at things that interest him or her.  Try the service that =
interests you before you buy and decide for yourself if it's worth it to =
you.

    Chris: You pose an interesting question and I am sure it varies =
significantly from one investor to the next. For example, some think a =
subscription to DGO is expensive but I am so dependent upon it, the cost =
has little meaning to me. On the other hand, I will never pay another =
cent for a research report by a broker, nor would I pay for real time =
streaming stock quotations. I subscribe to IBD, and enjoy the market =
updates and articles, but I could get along without it.=20

    I am not sure I could express "tool cost," as a percentage of my =
investment capital.  That doesn't seem to be the point. If you find a =
tool that is dependable, and reduces research time, then the cost is =
meaningless as long as it permits you to be profitable over time. =
Obviously there is a point of diminishing benefit. If you only make one =
or two trades a month you may not be able to justify very much in the =
way of research tools.=20
