Superb Analysis! i double checked the math and i get $12.98..perhaps i made a transposition error? no wonder they wont let you retire totally and let you live in peace and quiet its probably better for you that you dont retire 100%..collecting chess computers 24-7 365(366 on leap years)tends to deaden ones senses to all other things in life why,it was just last week that i was thinking of buying a dog and naming him Fidelity..thank god i stopped myself in time,so i named him Mephisto Instead Height of Tax Season Regards Steve
