To self-publish or not?

Author: Leon

I'm getting conflicting advice on whether to self-publish or not. I heard the advantage to self-pub is you own the rights to your project and can still shop an agent for a major pub. house at the same time. Those against say that you should wait to secure an agent because it's the easiest route and no investment necessary.

My status right now is (fiction)book finished, agent interested in seeing project after reading synopsis, but I'm still thinking about self-pub.

Can anyone out there give me the solid pros and cons of self-pub or direct me to a good site with good info? I appreciate it.
