Yup, same exact thing happened to my last 3 books: a scathing first review from someone who could not possibly have gotten and read the thing that quickly. The world is full of pinheads, and you can't ...

Hi All:

This thread needs to printed out and reread at intervals by all long-term investors.

The arguments against REITS in March seemed unassailable: the companies were horribly overleveraged, ...
