Good point... I'll waltz by Mr. Howell and take the professor. After all, he could make a radio out of a coconut....

Husband and I had dinner with friends last month, learned that one lost $1.5M to Madoff. She will always be a member of the club.

At the risk of being noisy could you share how/why she got involved with Madoff did she ever get suspicious.
Other than spring for dinner, I am not sure how you comfort a friend in that situation.
To clarify, club membership is up to anybody who has paper losses and/or realized losses greater than $1 million in their investment portfolio as measured from the market peak in the fall of 2007.

She is a lady in her 90s, a retired MD from NYC. I suspect that her investments were "under management" by a third party. She fits the Madoff client to a T.
She is an absolute dear. If she had no family she could be one of mine in a minute.
