I can't begin to count the number of times I've pointed students toward something or other you've written. Given that I'm teaching fixed income analysis this fall, I'm sure the number will increase significantly. I also appreciate your being open (and yet sensitive) in talking about your faith. Keep up the good work. Eight kids? Just Dang! David:

As for stock picks, I think you hold a large diversified portfolio and picks likely aren't that useful in such a case. I think stock picks are more useful if someone was running a concentrated portfolio and spends all their time dealing with a few stocks/bonds/whatever. Also, good luck with your fund. I hope someone reading this can consider your services. All the best...

I would say that most financial articles are written down to the lowest, most basic level of understanding....much like newspapers are written at a grade-school reading level. You turn out work far better than average and we readers benefit from that mightily. David, good stuff and keep up the good work.

I know blogging can be tedious at times! Completely agree with you in regards to posting up pieces on individual stocks. It does seem as if everyone is just looking for quick advice and then if it may be wrong, they're the first to lash out. I kind of laugh when I think about how my blog tracks hedge fund portfolios and as such I'm technically presenting stock ideas from others. But I've hit a sweet spot in which I don't receive the criticism haha. At any rate, congrats again and don't change your setup too much, love the info you crank out. Keep us posted on your fund developments! Jay David congratulations on the milestone and thanks for taking the time out to share your thoughts with all of us.

The Aleph Blog has been a regular read of mine since last fall when there were very few places for the rational-minded out there to turn for answers and solace. Please stick around for another 1000 posts at least! Josh Brown Congratulations and thank you, David.
