Thank you for the recommendation 2C. I also appreciate exbigblue's rebuttal providing a balanced perspective. With a 1200%/5 year return rate you should start up a 2C Index Fund ... please let me know if you do. Just from reading your posts I have much respect for your intelligence and knowledge, and may very well use some play money to take a small position in Maxim.

Agree with exbigblue though, on the surface MXM's not pretty. I'm sure curious about the prospective home run, seems as large and diversified as they are a home run wouldn't be too easy.

Best wishes (to all) for a prosperous 2008.
