And ... we are back

We are back from our 22-day cross country trip, little worse for wear but in dire need of an afternoon nap. Having forgotten to pre-order The Maestro's memoirs (no advance copy was sent), a review of the mainstream media's take on The Age of Turbulence will have to suffice - a few thoughts will be offered up later today or perhaps in the morning.

The free pass to Iacono Research made available last week has been disabled. Thanks to all the new subscribers and those starting free trials - all new accounts and free trials should be set up by now, so if you haven't heard from me, please send mail (the transfer of data from laptop back to desktop seemed to go smoothly, but you never know.)

For those missing out on the nearly week-long free look at the companion investment website, 30-day free trials are still available here. It's been a pretty impressive last four weeks as the model portfolio has gained about nine percent since many of the buy indicators were turned green on August 19th.

After the events of the last couple months, my guess is that next month's "Guess the year-end price of oil and gold" contest, where at least one lucky reader can win a free subscription to this investment service, will be a lot more exciting than the last one.
