Personalized Advice

In spite of this notice, I get several emails a day from people asking me for advice. "Should I buy this stock?"; "What stop should I set?"; "Do you think this is a head and shoulders pattern?"; and so forth.

Folks - I will not give anything even resembling personalized advice. Because none of you pay me, I believe I am "off the hook" anyway, but out of an abundance of caution, I will offer no opinion at all. The easy thing to do would be to ignore the emails, but I'm the polite sort, so I always reply. But please save me some time and stop asking! You're always welcome to throw the question open to the group on the comments section, but please don't ask poor ol' Tim. Thanks!
