Mathman6577:
It has been mostly skill.
The Fool:
If you could change one thing about your workplace, corporate culture, or family life, what would it be?
Mathman6577:
I like to work closer to home (or at home). I wish I could see my adult children more often.
The Fool:
What on Wall Street today is most suited for reform?
Mathman6577:

How I Invest

I invest mainly in blue-chip, large cap stocks that pay and increase their dividends over a long time period and use a buy and hold approach, selling only to offset dividends and capital gains.
