At this point, if indexing wasn't responsible for about 20-30 percent of my monthly income -- and if I didn't need that income -- I'd be finished with indexing. If I can ever scrape together a couple of dollars to start playing the lottery again, and if that ticket comes in, the indexes are the first things to go. As a matter of fact, I'm ignoring one right now.czarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10887869458750797012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090979633822979041.post-34973187126875080582009-02-02T17:26:00.000-05:002009-02-02T17:26:00.000-05:00You should make the intern cold call a coupla pote...You should make the intern cold call a coupla potential clients. <I>(comment courtesy Real Life Moi)</I>moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824043795171732429noreply@blogger.com
