hi everyone,

with all the introductions going on in the last little while, i figured now is 
a good time for my own.

i am a canadian software developer with 12 years experience, working in the 
entertaining business for the last 7 (my company writes s/w for putting 
together and adding special effects to movies/commercials/rock video/etc).

i have been "saving" since i started working, but i would not call it 
investing.  mostly a mutual fund here or there, some savings bonds and GICs.  
about 5 years ago, i decided i needed a financial advisor, since i just didn't 
have time to study the market or could ever possibly navigate such a complex 
system (not).  in any case, over the last five years i have annualized about -
5%, not a very good record.

so a couple of months ago i took it upon myself to learn more about investing. 
i asked some friends who were "into investing" for some pointer, and i got the 
motley fool book.  i thought it was interesting.

i then got malkiel's "random walk" book.  i thought it was a very fascinating 
book, quite humourous, and had very convincing arguments.  my favourite line 
from the book: "a financial statement is like a bikini.  what it reveals in 
interesting, but what it hides is essential".

being a person that never listens to only one side of the story before making 
up his mind, i decided to read a book contrary to malkiel.  that is when i 
found HTMMISv3.  it just made a lot of sense.  i am currently reading/studying 
it for the third time (and i have lots of questions, please stand by :-)).  
imho, WON is the perfect white to malkiel's black.

i have been lurking on this email list for about 2 weeks.  i truly find the 
quality of the postings here outstanding, and the members cordial, friendly, 
and knowledgeable.  i look forward to spending lots of time here.

for the immediate future, i plan on getting away from my advisor and 
implementing malkiel's strategy.  i then plan on learning and slowly starting 
to practice CANSLIM.

thanks for letting me join your group.

Roger Tawa
