RE:my brockerYou probably don't want my opinion, but I will give it to you anyway. Chances are great that your broker doesn't know much about CRH. Since you want him to know what's going on, I suppose that he feels it's better for him, and the good business he obviously have with you, to give you the impression that he knows more than you do. Conclusion: do you own DD and learn to make you own decisions. As long as you are dedicated and serious about it, you will be fine.
