Each week we get several questions from readers who ask about some of the things we write about in the FIR. We will use this area to answer those very questions if we feel that it would help the whole of the readership.  Please note however, that sometimes the questions aren't about stocks, investing, and the market. Sometimes they encompass a wide range of topics, from investing to self improvement.  We welcome them all, and although we can't promise to answer every question here in this forum, we can promise that we will personally answer every email that comes to us.
