You can google my name, “Oliver Galang.” I used to be a high roller and although I didn’t make millions, I made several thousand. I don’t know. I guess I’m writing you to tell you that these athletes are just normal people, too. I mean, I used to think I was smarter than everybody, but then I lost it all. You see, athletes are just physically talented. They don’t know how to manage money. In my case, I thought $5,000 a hand on blackjack was nothing. Now, it means everything! I was hoping you can do a little article about me, so people don’t gamble. I wrote two books. One about how card counting doesn’t work and the other one about my life.

I listed the car wash business because he is being sued by family members for not sharing profits from the car wash. He is also accused of having ripped off $500,000 from a Nigerian doctor for another car wash venture. @John Spence

Pfizer's biggest problem is a lack of drugs in the pipeline. I like it as a long term play over years not just 2010. @Ignats Kowalski

However, you listed "car washes" as one of Lenny Dystra's failed businesses. In following the Dykstra story, it seems that the car wash business was the one thing that he was very successful in. I understand he sold that business at a huge profit. Nevertheless, it is an interesting story. John Mark,

In the 2010 Playbook you list PFE as a value selection; however, it just keeps sinking and seems to be in an irreversible downtrend. What's wrong with the stock? Is it a buy?
