PEOPLE DEMAND TO HAVE THEIR SAY: IT’S THE DAX-AMERICAN WAY!
Don’t you just hate it when you see someone on the teevee say something, or read something in a magazine or newspaper and realize that probably, there’s no way you can actually respond - whether you agree or disagree?
Sure, some of the call-in programs on radio and television theoretically allow for such, but statistically, only a tiny fraction of those who make the try end up actually being able to voice their thoughts, opinions, kudos or whatever.
Indeed, recently I was amazed that the publisher of this nation’s most widely circulated magazine, the AARP, actually took a moment to compose a handwritten note to ME, expressing appreciation for a humorous piece I had done for his publication regarding all the cotton-pickin’ advertising ‘’blow-ins.’ Well, here is that piece:
Mr. Steven Slon, Editor, AARP The Magazine, 601 E St., NW, Washington, DC 20049
Dear Mr. Slon,
Enclosed is a batch of advertising cards removed from the July/August edition of AARP The Magazine. These things make each issue so heavy that we risk a hernia when lifting the thing, so we first spend the necessary two or three hours to remove the offenders before starting to read.
Actually, it occurred to me, whilst engaging in that chore, that perhaps, you have simply made the publication ‘’interactive'’ in that, as each subscriber labors TO remove the unwanted extraneous material, he or she is actually realizing some benefit in the form of exercise. For many oldsters, that may well be the only workout they get each month, eh wot?!
Additionally, it may well be that you are striving to hone reader cognitive skills vis-B-vis failing to print a cotton-pickin’ page number on each and EVERY page of the book: Yes, page numbers appear on the pages that contain text, but never on the advertising pages - often forcing the reader to finger about, riffle through or what-have-you in search of the page which will enable him/her to ‘’pick up where they left off,'’ as they try to finish reading an article.
In closing, we enjoy your publication - despite its obvious liberal bent - but truly, it seems that a bit less of the annoying bound-in advertising cards is in order. At the rate you’re going, in a decade or so we’ll be seeing a postal carrier driving a backhoe up the driveway to deliver the AARP magazine . . .
Sincerely,
Dean F. V. Du Vall, Sr.

I should also point out that over the years, many others have not ignored yours truly on the occasion that I have brought something of interest to their attention. In one such case, Marilyn vos Savant (the woman with the world’s highest IQ, according to Guinness - the book, not the ale(!) - ended up featuring one of my observations in her popular book, ‘’Ask Marilyn'’ (page #180, if you have a copy).
BUT I DIGRESS . . .
The point I was starting to make long before I was so rudely interrupted (by myself!) was this:
’tis not always the easiest thing in the world for a person who is totally unknown to the rest of the world have their opinion heard - let alone broadcast to any large number of people. Thus, the periodically recurring feature in our monthly hard-copy Personal SUCCESS - THE NEWSLETTER called ‘’YOUR TURN'’ has been very popular over the years. The following exchanges have been excised from those pages for your viral(!) pleasure . . .

Dear Dean,
You revealed a very intersting way to make money recently concerning a person coming up with ideas for website (domain) names and registering them in the hopes of selling later on. I like the idea okay, but I heard somewhere that this was not considered legal, because a person does not have a right to do that. Could you tell me more?
Horace P., Florida
Dear Horace,
The article you mentioned appeared in the November edition under DAX MONEY-MAKERS feature. You did not read the full text apparently, as it was mentioned that the courts had declared that the names of celebrities and others with long-established national or international identity were considered to be the rightful owners of their own names and thus, could not be forced to pay for the use OF their own name.
The practice of doing that (before it was deemed illegal) was called ‘’cyber-squatting'’ and the term pretty much defines the act.
Using a really obvious example, lets say that an enterprising John Entrepreneur noticed that somehow Coca Cola had failed to register their name for use on the Internet a few years back. So, he duly files registration in his name and waits until the Coke-Folk get around to wanting to use (their own) name. He then says, ‘’Sure, yon can have it - for a billion dollars!'’
Obviously, Coca Cola had long ago established their proprietary ownership of the name via trademarks, usage and, repeated court battles to protect the name. John Entrepreneur in that case would be out the registration fee and he WOULD be guilty of ‘’cyber squatting'’ as defined both by the court and in our judgment, common sense.
Granted, we can see where the whole thing could get very iffy when a person legally named John Wayne, for example, registers his own name only to have the estate of the famous John Wayne come along and say he has no right to do that. By even then, several court cases - especially involving the dead meat peddlers, McDonalds, have shown where the ‘’deeper pockets'’ usually prevail.
Conversely - and THIS is what we were talking about in the article - let’s say that you or someone else gets creative and comes up with a concocted name of some sort - one that does NOT belong to anyone else. This is generally called ‘’intellectual property'’ and you have every right to protect it any way you see fit: Via copyrights, trademarks, patents or the aforementioned URL registration procedure - whichever (or how many) of these avenues are appropriate.
It is thusly, this type of URL registration that we talked about - and this type is not only 100% wholly legal - but just darn smart, if you think about it. I hesitate to offer ANY examples of this type of URL because the chances are the same already are registered or there will be a stampede TO register them but . . .
. . . let’s say you thought a neat name for a diaper service might be ‘’be-dry.'’ You might register that AS www.be-dry.com, as well as (perhaps), www.bee-dri.com or other variations of the theme. Someone wanting to use one of the names would necessarily have to come to you and pay you for the privilege since you own the name(s). You might clear anywhere from a hundred grand to who knows how much!
A REAL example: Want to own the niftiest of all URLs? WWW.DAXFAX.COM can be all yours for a measly oh, let’s say, ‘’a hundred mil!'’
By the way, the main reason ALL URLs are becoming both scarce and pricey is due to the phenomenal number of people and firms establishing new sites coupled with the (current) restrictive categories generally limited to .com, .net, .org and .gov New domain name categories being considered (which will greatly increase the aggregate numbers available) include .biz, .travel, .shopping - some additional 100 (.plumbing, .carpentry, etc.) as well as the obvious (and currently most profitable) .sex Some regulators want that one to be .xxx - probably not a bad idea.
Incidentally, if you wish to register a domain name for any purpose, no need to pay the long dollar any more. Where once it could cost $75.00 a year or so, now you can get the same thing with all the bells and whistles for $8.00 - $10.00 a year. Just GOOGLE ‘’domain registration'’ and you’ll find the data you need.

Dear Dean,
Recently in an article, you used the phrase ‘’Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink.'’ I don’t think that’s quite right: Isn’t the quote ‘’Water, water everywhere but nary a drop to drink?'’
Alphonso Gerlach, Mississippi
Dear Alphonso,
I always thought the quote (which originally comes from ‘’The Ancient Mariner'’) was as you stated, too. In fact, my late mother frequently recited that phrase always ending with ‘’but nary a drop to drink.'’ However, whilst writing the piece I looked it up to verify and discovered I had learned it incorrectly - some half century ago and it had stuck with me that way all these years!
Another sur[rise: The actual phrase is ‘’Once more unto the breach, dear friends'’ NOT ‘’Once more into the breach, dear friends.'’ (Shakespeare’s Othello).

Dean:
My copy of the May issue came on Saturday April 30th. I’m curious about something. I watched CNN Saturday morning and the Big Headline in medical news which was wedged in between the stupid non stop ruckus of that runaway bride idiot, was about the latest research on Alzheimer’s Disease.
A neurosurgeon who was interviewed spoke of brand new data showing where people who strive to keep their minds active by playing checkers, chess, card games and doing crossword puzzles are less apt to get Alzheimer’s.
Like I said that was Saturday morning, but your newsletter arrived the day before and I recall you saying once that each issue is prepared at least two months ahead of time. My question:
How did you manage to get the same information that was on the CNN program long before they did? How did you do that? Clairvoyant? Inside secrets? Just lucky? Any way, keep up the good work - love all of your publications!
Tommy P., Wichita, KS
Dear Tommy:
Take your pick, ’cause I’m not saying how - gotta keep some secrets! As the famed stripper, the late Lilly St. Cyr, was fond of saying, ‘’It’s not what you take off - it’s what you put on!'’
I must say however: Two months or so lead time reportage for DAX is not much. Over the years we have frequently beat out all major news media with reports far in advance of their coverage - sometimes, by 3 - 5 years!
Several instances come to mind including the benefits (or perils - depending upon what we’re talking about) of COQ10, homocysteine/ folic acid, statin drugs, melatonin, St. Johns Wort, pycnogenol, HRT (Hormone Replacement therapy) and a bunch of others that escape me at the moment. (Must be I failed to take my own advice and use whatever was found to be best for enhancing memory!)
Here’s one that probably sets the record: In the May edition of the AARP BULLETIN, under their feature ‘’Discoveries,'’ there’s a short piece entitled ‘’Laugh - and Live.'’ Quoting: ‘’University of Maryland investigators told the American College of Cardiology (that) measuring blood flow of 20 participants before and after they had belly laughs watching a funny film - increased blood flow 22%. Other research shows that laughter can reduce stress and boost immunity.'’
I had to look it up to be sure of the stats: Our #13 report in the DAX Educational Reports Depart-ment series, entitled, ‘’Laugh To . . . Live!'’ starts with a paragraph detailing the benefits of humor to one’s health and longevity as discovered by Norman Cousins (1912 - 1990). He proved the sig-nificant value of an active funny bone. That (plus my own innate penchant for humor) is one reason we have always insisted on introducing a witti-cism or two in virtually everything we produce.
We first published that DAX report in 1993 - and Cousins, based his disclosure on data he had gathered a couple decades earlier! He was also a philosopher and here’s one of his shorter obser-vations: ‘’Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.'’
~ ~ ~ ~
Dear Dean,
Recently, Jim Straw had some very nice things to say about you in his Business Lyceum Forum on the web and it set me to thinking that I had not seen or heard of you in a coon’s age! Years ago every publication I opened had a full page of yours in it but in recent years that’s not the case. Also, weren’t you fronting some MLM program for awhile? What happened - must be you’re still around or good ol’ Jim wouldn’t have mentioned you.
Marvin G., Florida
Dear Marvin,
First, I suspect ‘’good ol’ Jim'’ may well continue to mention me on occasion after ‘’I'm gone!'’ Regarding your MLM inquiry: That was my late son, Dean Jr. who, despite my warnings, had a go at MLM a few years back. In fact, I recently came across an old website of his that remains on the web: The modern-day way to gain immortality?! (Guess not . . . I had it removed later.)
Must be that you have never made a purchase from DAX elst you would know that we’re still manning this old popstand (for well over four decades now!) - as we stay in contact only with actual buyers. Your letter has given me a great idea for another new $$-making report called, ‘’How I Started to Get REALLY Rich From Mail Order The Day I Stopped Advertising!'’
~ ~ ~ ~
Dear Mr. Du Vall,
You don’t know me, but I guess you knew my grandfather (name) quite well. He died recently at 87 and when I was looking through his belongings came across a number of things with your name on it going back to 1964. He kept these things all that time. You may know, because there are letters from you answering his, that in his later years he suffered from Alzheimer disease, but it is obvious you took the time and patience to write some nice things to him and words of encouragement. I just thought that I would write and thank you for that.
Rhene R. (DAX withholds last name), Nebraska
Dear Linda,
I found your grandfather’s letters quite interesting - even fascinating at times - especially, when he reminisced about ‘’his good old days'’ which were actually before MY OWN ‘’good old days!'’
Thanks for writing - sorry to learn of your loss - but happy that he found some inspiration in DAXing it all those years!
~ ~ ~ ~
Dear Dean,
I’ve been a subscriber to your newsletter from the very first issue - not just this one but going way back to the one before - Money-Maker (Ed. Note: DAX Confidential Money-Maker Newsletter).
I’ve come to the belief that you must be clairvoyant or something because in the last few months you’ve been writing about things just before or sometimes long before they actually happen.
It seems uncanny that you know about such things before the major press coverage of such things as colorectal cancer or more recently the big turn around in thinking about diets, with low fat/high carbohydrates now known to be bad when the reverse is better, and similar things way before others do. What’s your secret? And whatever it is, keep up the good work!
Harvey Mancusca, New York
Harvey,
Well, first ’tis ’cause I’m so darn smart - HA! Nope. Just use a lot of good ol’ common sense coupled with (now) over six decades of plain old living and observation. For example: It was sometime in 1998 that I warned of a for-certain impending burst of the ever-inflating stock market bubble: It was obvious that it HAD to happen.
The problem in predicting with any accuracy when it would occur was mostly confounded by the first-time-in-history dot.com madness that virtually obfuscated all ‘’normal'’ indices. At the time, I also worried aloud about younger investors (actually, SPECULATORS - never forget the distinction!) who were rushing headlong to purchase most ANY ‘’stock with a story'’ only to ‘’hold and hope'’ to their (eventual) peril, I feared.
It gives me some (perverse, I suppose!) pleasure to remind that I was right. THAT, only because so many other ‘’experts'’ of the period insisted I was wrong and took precisely the exact opposite position. I’ve always said that the stock market is nothing more than highly sophisticated legalized wagering that appeals greatly to those who would really prefer to spend their hours in a smoke-filled casino but for various reasons cannot.
Anyway, here’s something else that would help any DAX-DOER who finds it helpful (profitable and also on occasion, downright survivable!) to be able to figure out - at least to some degree - what’s down the road a few miles - whether we’re talking medicine, money, society or whatever else affects you: Read a lot I mean a whole lot. Especially, force yourself to read stuff that is boring. Often, that’s where the little golden nuggets will be discovered.
Work at becoming a really good chess player: I’m serious. My late son, Dean Jr., first taught me the game many years ago. He was good at it - but had other things to do in life, so he quit playing. I kept at it - got really good to the point no one would play with me any more. P.C. would literally cry when she lost - but I just could not bring myself to ‘’throw the game.'’ A former wife just said one day, ‘’Find someone else to play with!'’ (I think she meant chess - but then, since she later ran off with a used car salesman, maybe not!)
My late brother Wellington, one of the best-ever chess players, was beaten by me just once - and would not play again. My sister, Daisy? She’s extremely good - plays long distance (by mail) with folks all over the world. I’m afraid to have a game with her - what if she beats me? Ha! Believe it or not. S.E. has never won a single game with me - and well, we just don’t dust of off the ol’ chess board very often these days . . .
Anyway, the point OF honing your skills at chess is the benefit of learning to ‘’see'’ what’s going to happen - not just after the next move one of the players makes - but after the next two, three or even many moves. And certainly, not so much as your developed skill helps you with chess - but rather, with life.
Thus, as you turn your attention to specific aspects of your business, career, personal relationships, etc., it becomes easier or at least more logical to ascertain ‘’what if'’ or ‘’what may happen'’ when you approach a given subject with some ‘’intelligence'’ - both the innate and the gathered kind.
An example: Every time the stock market goes down the media and everybody you talk to will harp on the fact: ‘’Oh, woe is me! The market has dropped - my stocks have been beaten down, etc.'’ Well, first of all, DAX-DOERS (who have acquired and studied most any of our materials relative to the subject) know $$ can be made - a lot of it - BECAUSE the market in general and certain stocks in particular have nose-dived.
But forget that: What is so obvious to anyone who bothers to look: When the market goes down drastically - it will generally do so for (about) three sessions. Hokay . . . what happens next? Almost always, it goes UP! Sure, it seldom recoups the major losses all at once - but who cares?
I mean, if you are trading (or let’s hope not - holding) 1000 shares of Whoopdeedo stock and it drops ten points on Tuesday, 7 on wednesday and on Thursday it gains 30 - what do you care about the rest of the market? If you bought at its week low (off 17) - and then sell at it’s uptick high of 30 - you made a bundle. Whilst just about everybody else is p’ing ‘n moaning.
Just study - whatever ’tis interests you. Study. Read, get on the internet, watch the ol’ teevee, etc. ’tis amazing how, once you get personally involved with anything - how all of a sudden a flood of new data about that very subject comes your way. Just go out and buy a peach-colored Cadillac with green stripes and wait to see how many others just like it you meet on the highway in the next few weeks . . .

Dear Dean,
It has been a long time since we communicated. Over the years I have bought many of your promotions and I have been totally happy with all of them - regardless the cost. Now, we have from you news about a ‘’biggie'’ - your ‘’DAX Superior CYBER Cash Generator!'’ It looks good - I know it MUST be good for $10,000.00.
As I said, I have never been unhappy with whatever I have paid you for your offerings. BUT, dear friend, you are out of my neighborhood with this one. It might have been different, if I had followed some of your other cash generating ventures. That’s a different story. My wife and I have had a good life filled with many blessings, though wealth was not one of them. Other ‘’wealth'’ has been abundant.
The gist of all this is: Count me out. I believe you. You are a person of integrity and most trustworthy, but I have to be practical. This is out of my ‘’league.'’ I appreciate being considered for an investment of this level. I wish you much success, always, and thanks again!
Sincerely,
(DAX withholds name), South Dakota
Dear (you know-who-you-are!):
That’s kind of tough for me to hear. Not because there will be no order from you for the fabulous ‘’DAX Superior CYBER Cash Generator,'’ but because the main reason I’ve stuck to this rather demanding work schedule all these years - way beyond when I could have ‘’bagged it'’ and just loafed my life away in the Cayman Islands is to make certain that ALL DAX-DOERS have a chance to seize upon the MANY wealth-producing and exclusive DAX concepts.
This latest super supplement calibre program - the ‘’DAX Superior CYBER Cash Generator'’ has not only become the fastest-selling of ALL our top programs in our 44+ year history - we are (already) receiving sincere praise from DAX-DOERS and independent reviewers who have agreed that this program will start a mega cash-flow just like the brochure for it says:
‘’You can START a significant cash-flow almost instantly!'’ I am exceedingly proud of this unique program and especially for what it can do for ANY industrious DAX-DOER who actually GRABS THE THING AND WORKS IT!
There are those who have stated flatly that (it is) ‘’Du Vall’s Crowning Achievement!'’ Hey! Thanks for the kind words - but as good as this program is - I ain’t dead yet - and who knows what may be in the offing in the months and years to come!
Meanwhile, if anybody has even a smidgeon of ambition and desire to make big bux on the web - I can heartily recommend the new ‘’DAX Superior CYBER Cash Generator'’ as THE blueprint to follow - all the way to the top of ye olde DAX Success Ladder!
~ ~ ~ ~
One of the more interesting (and difficult) requirements of moving after many years in the same place is that of sorting through ‘’stuff'’ of all kinds. You know . . . do I really need to keep that shiny paisley vest or the pin-striped ‘’Bonny & Clyde'’ suit from the mid ’70’s . . .
Anyway, when I recently had to paw over all the correspondence and such that accumulated in my private office I ran across some nice letters from DAX-DOERS - some ‘’of yesteryear'’ (as in, darn it - they’re dead!) as well as some folks who are definitely still alive and kicking!
Here are a couple examples - one from each category - and yes, I know darn well they’re more or less self-serving (to me) but, as John Kennedy once said to those who complained about his unusual game rules . . . ‘’It’s MY football!'’

Dear Mr. Du Vall,
I have received your ‘’DAX FORMULA FOR BUILDING A REAL ESTATE'’ and have reviewed it thoroughly. I did not expect to find it to be so explicit and beautifully detailed. You have done it masterfully. I look forward to applying the supporting instructions in the very near future for both myself and my students.
I have also received the ‘’DAX-VEGAS WAGERING SYSTEM,'’ and find it equally fascinating and, sorry the pun, ‘’right on the money.'’ I will do well with that!
Finally, enclosed is my check for $1,000.00 Please rush me your ‘’Du VALL MASTER MAIL ORDER MATRIX.'’ I hereby wish to commit myself regarding that as you are truly the ‘’Master'’ when it comes to providing people with helpful, clearly understandable wealth-producing data!
With All Good Greetings I Am,
Very Cordially Yours,

Dear Dean,
I’m gonna address you as Dean, NOT Mr. Du Vall, ’cause I was taught by my momma to show respect to your elders - not your juniors. And you, Dean, are about 40, maybe 50 years younger than me. I’ll be 89 August 11.
I’m writing you now - before it’s too late (after all, I guess none of us live forever, ‘’eh wot?'’ (as you would say!) I need to thank you for the new excitement you’ve brought to my life these past ten years that I’ve been officially a DAX-DOER. I bought a few of your earlier books and reports and then recently started with your DAX Super Wealth-Builder Program.
I’ve been selling your various programs with that deal and aside from making some pretty good money (which thank God I do not need like so many of my older friends do) I’ve had a blast! I get nice letters from people all over thanking me for bringing you and your organization to their attention. It gives me something to do that is constructive, you know?
Well, of course you know and I think that’s one reason why you put together this great program because I checked into you and found that you’ve been listed in Dun & Bradstreet’s ‘’Young Millionaires'’ section starting in 1970, so you don’t really need to do all this, do you?
Well again, I thank you very much. I only wish that my beloved wife Tess, had lived long enough to see how productive and happy I am in these late years of my life.
God bless you - and that 3 year old daughter of yours!
Yours truly, Harvey G. Harkin, Ohio
Well now . . . that daughter (P.C.) just celebrated her 36th B-day on May 19th (2006) . . . she has two children, Brittany Nicole, 10 and Steven Louis, 7. Mr. Harkin passed away on Christmas of the same year he wrote me. Dr. Schmidhofer is still very active in promoting all sorts of good stuff - including DAX stuff, I understand.
The very-popular DAX Super Wealth-Builder Project that Mr. Harkin referred to has now been officially terminated - in favor of the much more profitable (to dealers) DAX Marketing Director Program - which provides up to 80% profits on sales - which in turn, can be as high as $10,000.00 EACH! Naturally, we still honor any book or report sales generated by the program - but no new dealers are being accepted.
Me? I’m just very pleased to run across some of those old letters - as well as opening all the new ones we get from current DAX-DOERS. So . . . WRITE ME!
~ ~ ~ ~
Dean:
Have you got some sort of ‘’inside track’ or are you just psychic? I mean, I got my July issue on Saturday, June 29th (always nice to get it on time - some publications come a month after the cover date or some come two months BEFORE - really!) Ed. Note: Yes, we know - strange, isn’t it?
My question is because on the day I got that July issue with its health feature article on colonoscopy, President Bush was undergoing his colonoscopy at Camp David. So again, ‘fess up: How’d you time that so well?
Jack Tanner (Very longtime DAX-DOER), Florida
Jack,
You caught me! Yes, OLD Prez George phoned me at BLUE HERON POINTE on April 1st and asked that I convince his kid (young Prez George) to get another up-the-rump look-see (his third) ’cause, he knew I’d just had one and maybe I could talk the kid into it. So, I did. Any further questions about all this? Refer to the foregoing key words, April 1st (!)
~ ~ ~ ~
Dear Dean,
Thanks SO much for the free copy of ‘’That Old DAX Magic'’ you gave me when I subscribed a year back.
Since then, I have mastered almost all of the 52 sensational tricks and illusions and I have become pretty popular in my neighborhood and church because I can entertain people with this stuff that is just as professional as any ‘’real'’ magician. Thanks loads!

Well, that’s precisely why we came up with that book in the first place - so folks could have fun (and baffle-dazzle a bunch of others, as well!)

Dean:
I recently received an e-mail in which a Dan Kennedy stated, ‘’there are few masters of mail order in the league of the late Joe Karbo, George Haylings, Dean Du Vall or Ben Suarez who, if you had a chance to pick their brains for an hour, you ought to pay any price, fly anywhere.'’ Two questions: How much would you charge to ‘’pick your brains'’ - and who the heck is Dan Kennedy?
Parker G., Louisiana
Dear Parker:
To address Kennedy’s statement: Only Karbo and Haylings are ‘’late'’ - the other two named are more or less ‘’still alive and kicking'’ (about everything- at least I am!)
A long time back I did offer personal counselling at a thousand bux per hour, but quit making my ‘’brain field available for individual harvest'’ after we ended the all-day seminars and workshops here and abroad. We discovered that we could reach far more people on a more comfortable basis (for all concerned) and at a much-lower cost for those interested in learning what I know from these many decades in the fields of writing, publishing, investing and mail order.
In short, the manuals, courses, books, cassette tape programs, reports and this newsletter serve a valuable service which is easily accessible to anyone - anywhere - who is seriously interested in expanding their storehouse of knowledge. Besides, nowadays, who in the world cares to risk life and limb to travel thousands of miles to hear some old pontificating duffer such as me when you can achieve much the same in the comfort of your own home . . .
Dan Kennedy is a highly successful direct marketing consultant best known for spear-heading the Guthy-Renker Corporation and Tony Robbins TV infomercials. About a year ago I chided him for declaring on his website that it was the late John Belushi who used to do the ‘’happy baseball player'’ bit on the old Saturday Night Live show - when it was actually Garrett Morris - the only black cast member. Haven’t heard from him since - HA!
~ ~ ~ ~
(More stuff I ran across whilst cleaning out files prior to our recent move)
Dear Dean,
Well, it’s forty lashes with wet noodles for me! Two weeks ago, while cleaning out my desk, I found your report, ‘’$100,000.00 in 90+ Days.'’ It’s been sitting there for fourteen years! A gold mine . . . right under my nose!
Since then, I’ve been getting the whole deal set up and will be ready to roll-out in August/September. Enclosed is my check for (and he went on to list a bunch of stuff he wanted to purchase).

Dear DAX & Company,
Thank you for the ‘’Superior Slots Success'’ (program). I was a winner on first machine and enjoyed playing for about 3 hours and winning more.

Dear Mr. Du Vall,
You have always been a most gracious, kind and generous soul. You are surely the last of a breed, so to speak.
The ‘’DAX Superior CYBER Cash Generator'’ out shines them all!!!!! But my ‘’alter'’(ego) whispers, ‘’Why does he do this? Why not keep it to himself and gleefully rake in all those BUX, instead of offering it to others?'’ It’s an honest question.
Thanks, dear friend,
F.E. Olderer, Minnesota
Dear F.E.:
I’m sure you know the answer to that! As a farmer, let’s say you’ve been successful for many years and have stored away far more than your immediate family as well as your extended kin could ever consume - and then some. One day you learn of a family in the next county that is on the brink of starvation. Would you just ignore that and selfishly go about your everyday business - maybe feed your family extra well - and just let that poor family starve? The answer to THAT is the answer to your initial question.
~ ~ ~ ~
Dean,
Merry Christmas and may the New Year continue to bring wealth and happiness to you & yours!
By the way: When I first found DAX in 1984, I was earning $6,000.00 a year - not a living wage even then - barely scraping by, trying to figure out how to keep a roof over my head and food in my stomach. Today, I’m earning 100 grand! And I plan to be earning much, much more soon! Thanks for your money-making suggestions, inspiration and motivation over the years. I’m not sure I could have done it all without DAX.
A DAX-DOER forever,
Mark Lambert, Iowa
Dear Mark,
That’s quite a ‘’by the way!'’ Here are two of my OWN ‘’by the ways'’ (or is that correctly, like ‘’attorneys general,'’ rather than ‘’attorney generals?'’ Anyhow: Coincidentally, speaking of a ‘’roof over the head,'’ just this A.M. I received a quotation from a contractor to put a new roof on the main structure at BLUE HERON POINTE: $23,630.00 (that’s 23 thousand+ not 23 hundred+!) - ‘’Holy Diamond-Encrusted Shingles, Batman!'’ -
I well remember when, as a teenager, I bought all the shingles I needed to roof my first house for far less than the $630.00 part of that sum! ‘course, I then had to actually do the installation myself and yes, I did get a small sharp stone in one of my eyes that sent me to the ER and . . oh crap - I guess I’ll hire the overpriced S.O.B. roofer!
The important ‘’by the way:'’ Mark has long been a true DAX-DOER in many ways - especially, as regards extending a hand to others who need an assist up the ol’ Success Ladder, and has for instance, often purchased DAX subscriptions for friends who could not afford it, as well as hooking me up to receive his alma mater’s periodical, ‘’Imprimis.'’ In short, he has practiced what Jim Straw (Business Opportunities Digest) used to like to call ‘’reciprocity.'’

Dear Dean:
It’s been a few years since this old DAX-DOER has written you, and there have been a few changes in my life since then. Frankly, I’ve become quite a frivolous old gal: I am seeing five gentlemen every day!
As soon as I get up, Will Power helps me get out of bed. Then I go to see John. Shortly, Charlie Horse comes along, and when he is here he takes a lot of my time and attention. When he leaves, Arthur Ritis shows up and stays the rest of the day. He doesn’t like to stay in one place very long, so he takes me from joint to joint. After such a busy day, I’m really tired and glad to go to bed with Ben Gay. What a life!
Yours truly, Hope U. Chuckle
Dear Hope:
That reminds me: The other day, I met a preacher and he suggested that at my age I should start thinking about the hereafter. I told him, ‘’Oh, but I do - all the time! No matter where I am . . . in the living room, upstairs, kitchen or down in the basement . . . I always find myself asking, ‘what am I here after?”’
