I know Ed. But EF Hutton was the dude I was trying to hark too
actually. Hutton and Bogle. Compare the two schools there. One talked.
The other one just indexed, eh?
Who ended up making more money for the ones tat listened?

When E.F. Hutton speaks, everyone listens.
I have no way of knowing how individual investors did at each of these
firms.
I would think that EFH made more money for their clients. Vanguard index
funds are passive so people in these index funds are just buying the
haystack while Vanguard does very little in the way helping investors make
money. |

It's "It's," not "I's."
Sorry about that; I tried hard, but I just couldn't resist! |

It's ok, my hand and my keyboard are not a perfect match. Add to that my
limited two finger typing skills and I hope you understand that it was a
typo. I know you do anyway. |

EF Hutton made more money for their clients than Vanguard? Hmm. I
suspect that EF was (is?) a loaded type deal. OK, kudos to fee-paid
advisors. Or did EF Hutton clients have big $$ and thus maybe harder
working brokers? |

This is one of the best posts to Usenet I've read all week. It reads and has
a message like a part of Garrison Keillor's best stories. |

I also learned to recite the alphabet backwards--fast

See? I just combined two skills. You can choose to believe it or not, but I
rattled that off in less than 4 seconds. |

Agreed. The term "idiot savant" comes to mind. But it's fun.

Probably helps maintain memorization skill, too. Or you are a savant. Few
can rattle off the alphabet in reverse with any speed approaching the
forward direction.
But, say, can you rattle off the current S&P 500?

Ha. I was wondering a little while ago why my piano playing isn't nearly as
good as my typing. It's all muscle memory, after all. Similar number of keys
(counting caps)... etc.
"Very definitely." |

I think the value of reciting the alphabet backwards is somewhat dubious,
especially compared to typing. I just liked your being able to make hay
from a skill that goes unremarked as an adult, but not as a child, and so
shrinking those puerile hot jock football and basketball players. ;-)
My favorite hot jock typing story: Ninth grade. The school's star athlete
and most popular boy is shooting off his mouth (in an honors math class!)
inisting it is impossible to type more than one keystroke a second; no
action can be completed in less than a second...
He evidently got over this and has since become an investment banker of some
repute, involved in philanthropy, to his credit, in a large city.
