John

I am not Katherin, but would like to mention
something.
Please do not take my comments in a wrong way; I am
not meaning them in a mean way.

From your comments below, you seem to feel that 6
hours spent is too much?  Investing is not easy and
like anything else, you cannot expect to be successul
if you are not willing to spend time on it.  Investing
is not any easier, and most likely  more difficult
than any "normal" day job and do you really think one
would be successful if you only spend an hour, or two
a week researching stocks?  If it was that easy,
everyone would be doing it. Who wouldn't want to work
only a couple of hours a week and sit back and enjoy
the money rolling in? :-)
