thank you for the personal response as well as the sugestion kim. i certainly will dd as much as i am capable of.

The reason i pick a lot of peters at the moment is because i realize he knows more then i do and im hoping that is a good refiner in it self. after that i look through his picks for the ones that i think make the most sense.

I am learning as fast as i can at the moment and working on my psycology and emotion at the moment but another year or so and i hope to be picking stocks that i have analysed on my own with out the help or HRA or Peter...of course i will still consider them.

But i will obviously have to do more research into the rare earth plays to find profitable quantities. Thanks again.
