I was both thrilled and a little apprehensive when I got a cell phone call from my old girlfriend Joanne. Joanne and I broke up in the senior year of college when we were both attending Cal State Long Beach. She said the reason she called me was to apologize for the events that occurred, our breakup, three years before. We then had a very good conversation about different methods of investing in the stock market and mutual funds. I told her about a couple of blogs I’ve read recently regarding Ian Cassel. Ironically she had seen one of the blogs herself and agreed with the content.
