Plumber works 20 minutes, fixes it and gives the doctor the bill. Doctor says hell, I'm a doctor and I don't earn that much. Plumber says when I was a doctor, neither did I. |

The wealthy surgeons I know typically have multiple cash flows from tie-ins with durable equipment and implant manufacturers, ownership in day-surgery centers, patents -- and the usual fee-for-services. This doesn't include the usual real estate or stock investments. Income from performing surgeries is just a piece of the pie. It's Doctor, Inc. -- Jay Beattie. |

Google maps does let you drag your route around, sometimes you can get it where you want it. Sometimes it gets loops in it that are hard to undo -- the directions will tell you to go down a road, make a u-turn, go 0.2 km, make another u-turn ... User interaction is tricky. openstreetmap.org has two options for routing bicycle trips, so there's no shortage of second opinions. I can't say whether they're generally better than Google or not. I like the colors on Open Street Map better, Google seems bent on becoming completely unreadable. |

I can remember driving across the United States twice without any maps at all. I was halfway through a five day bike tour, carrying my first brand new smart phone, before I realized it had a GPS function and Google Maps. Not that it would have helped. I was trying to follow roads as near as possible to the route of the old Ohio and Erie Canal. The southern half of that canal is largely ignored, so the preparation required hours of library research and poring over very detailed maps looking for clues like "Canal Street" in little towns. The moment I discovered the phone's GPS function was on a road with harsh, barely rideable gravel. My wife and our friend had decided to walk their bikes and I was waiting for them to catch up. The GPS did indicate that we had no better choice for a road, but it didn't make the riding any smoother. These days, even if I do use GPS during a long ride, paper maps are normally my main reference. - Frank Krygowski |

Jay, you don't know anything about the market. If you re willing to take long odds you can make VERY large profits and if you study the market correctly those odds can be considerably reduced. I have seen his receipts.
You and I are more likely to take the smallest chances possible and so we make maybe 3-6% overall across the market. Starting from almost nothing he was forced to take chances and he studied very hard. But where he looked like he was dying any minute he now has a smile on his face all the time. A bad week is 10%. |
