Hi!

I'm very surprsed to see you saying I helped you lose money by giving you trading tips.

I've never traded options, and I'm sorry but I don't remember giving anyone tips on trading them. In fact, since I don't know anything about trading options I would find it difficult to write up a message giving advice about them; also, since my integrity is about the only strong foundation I have, I can't imagine risking damaging it by giving options trading advice. Could you repost the message in which the tips appeared? Even if it's an email message please post it, OK? In fact, anyone who cares to do searches in sowpub's archives and who can find messages by me in which I give options trading advice is asked to post an URL.

As to the question about the schedules, I'm still building the infrastructure of our business, and I'm also very undisciplined and find myself straying away from productive work way too much. But after I've identified all the components of my workday I'm going to write a daily schedule in which time is alloted to all the things that bring in money.

Please post my options advice, OK?

Best,

- Boyd
