To my father, Wayne E. Shull, originally of Dover, Ohio, who first explained the stock market to me when I was nine. I said, “Really, you own parts of companies?” Little did I know then that he was the quintessential buy-and-hold investor. He began buying “T” (ATT) in the '40s and left it for me to sell. I am quite sure, because he said so, that he didn’t know how to sell a share of stock. My becoming a trader, in 1994, met with what can only be called bemusement on his part.
