Regarding the botched 84 stop loss: No, I wasn't really aware of just how badly both the entry and the exit were.

It was talked about in length on the Suite101.com board. If you didn't pay attention to Bob's entry/exit and got lucky you could have made out very well in a short amount of time (not taking risk into consideration).

However, from what I understand, you could have made as little as a 2% gain. No, I didn't know that then because I wasn't in that trade.

I also don't know which posts, regarding that or anything else critical, I missed on the BB boards. Maybe that was laid out as well but then deleted by someone in Bob's org. I call that misleading (just to be nice) but others call it much worse.

Of course his longterm views have colored my view of his short term trades as you said, but it was the May trade and the way it was discussed on his radio show that made the difference.

I think it's very important to look at the tracking of his trades, investments, etc. on the Suite101.com board. When laid out like that, against the backdrop of the indices, you get a much clearer and more objective picture than you do here.

Ultimately, it's all in the numbers.
