simba, i used to listen to bob. i think he brings some good ideas to the table. diversification, dollar cost averaging and other such things. he is also quite arrogant and pompous. you said he was a bear now? i heard he was telling someone with no money in the market to dollar cost average 40% into the market. that doesn't sound too bearish. he is also quite pompous (immature?). maybe it his "personality" that attracts listeners. you can see the types of folks he attracts by the thread headings they start on si ;-) he isn't the kind of guy that will discuss chained dollars. he probably doesn't even know what they are. he also won't tell you that the majority of stocks were in a bear market while he was bullish. i know he doesn't just pick indexes and the like b/c he thinks he is a semi analyst. he's kind of shady on some issues, but he might do that b/c he has so much to lose. he is an excellent sales / marketing guy - and they aren't the most honest / straightforward types. take what is good, discard what is bad, but don't think for a moment he calls tops and bottoms. nobody can do that consistently - but somebody will always get lucky and do it b/c someone is calling a top every day. btw, brinker has been playing the greater fool theory for quite some time. doing that is dumb. even if right.
