Andrea:
Some people have had problems getting the watchlist version to work. I would suggest downloading the newest version (3.01) and make sure you have enabled macros. In Excel, go to Tools>Macro>Security and set it on Low. Then try re-running it. Hopefully that will help. (Ideally, you should be able to set it on Medium and it should ask you if you want to enable macros when you open the spreadsheet.) Also, if you can, post any problems in the following thread: http://www.roicommunity.com/forum/au...cel-based.html We certainly hope you get it up and running. If not, you can always run version 2.09 until we figure something out. David: Unfortunately, it will not work on Excel 97.

Hi everyone,
This is a great site so you have come to the right place. There are a lot of people here who do a great job of contributing with good information. And Rule # 1 is one of better investing books I have ever read, actually I listened to it first on my iPod and than had to go out and buy the book too. Good luck, Steve

Hello from New England
Greetings,
I'm very excited about Rule #1 investing (found the book at the library) and happy to find this forum - Thank you Justin. I've read a number of books on the market since about 1996 but they were all published pre-internet and after reading Mr.Town's book they now all seem archaic. I'm looking forward to learning the new ropes. The Best to all, ken310

Just beginning
I posted my first thread (reply) today after noticing some odd things going on with the MOS calculators.
http://www.roicommunity.com/forum/au....html#post4205 Other than that, I only noticed the error because I am working on trying to understand the tools or signals as they are in the spreadsheet. I think Phil did a great job with the book (actually I have audio book and am beginning to wonder if I need to go buy the book too...to see other examples), but really skipped over the tools and, largely, ... well skipped over them. I am struggling with them and I usually don't struggle too much with math (engineer). These are some great calulcators. My hat is off! So simple to use, but I am starting to wonder if maybe investools is worth getting. After seeing so many inconsistent things going on with different data from different sites, it does concern me a bit...but hey, as soon as I figure out the tools I guess I will have to slow down and try the paper trading. Patience...while playing!

Let the battle continue...
Hi mates,
Last week, I happened to watch Phil Town on some channel, while I played around with the remote. I really liked what I heard - 'Never lose your money'. That does make sense but in the excitement to double, triple our money, we all forget some money basics. I had learnt my lesson, the hard way during the 2000 crash and had stayed out of the market since then. During all this time, I made the usual 3% return; in other words just kept my head above water after paying uncle sam. Now, I am rearing to go again. I have purchased the book and am picking up all the nuances as if my life depended on it (and it does because one day I do want to take it easy). Along the way, I am sure, I will learn a lot from the posts on this forum. I'll have lots of questions on using the various tools and methods that have been spelled out by Phil, and hopefully, we will work out the answers together. Good luck to all and thanks in advance to all the contributors and particularly Justin ... greenbucks

Welcome! I'd recommend that you hold off and take it easy. When you're first starting out, you don't need the best of the best tools. Paper trade, gain experience, make a few of your first trades, and then when you've got it all down pat, throw in for the extra finesse tools. Remember, not losing money applies to more than just investing; it applies to purchasing too.
