Richard,

I thought you had departed permanently for the safety and relative blandness of the censored Justa thread. I have noticed that there are Bob-critics over there as well. Surprised that Justa hasn't deleted them yet. Maybe he's just preoccupied with the QQQ's being down 60%.

I have no problem if the inane analysts get booted. I think many ARE losing their jobs as the brokerage companies lose cash and customers. I think the financial networks and web sites are seeing a huge fall off in interest as well. These are the consequences of giving bad financial advice and, of course, of the markets being in the dumpster.

Don't you think Bob should get the boot also just like those analysts and talking heads? Why is Brinker alone immune from the consequences of his mistakes?

Bob didn't make one small mistake. He made many serious mistakes over a very long period of time.

1. Bob makes a huge mistake
2. Bob's loyal followers question his mistake
3. Bob makes another huge mistake
4. Bob's loyal follower criticize his mistakes
5. Bob whacks his follower/critics
6. Bob continues to make huge mistakes
7. The critics turn out to be right
8. Bob does a very mild "we were wrong"
9. The critics turn out to be very right
10. Bob-bot expects the critics to be whacked and Bob to be excused from all blame.

As far as I can tell, he doesn't seem to give a rip about how much his horrendous mistakes have cost those who believed in his abilities. His ego, arrogance and hubris are just as intact as ever. The guy is a piece of work and defending him with the QQQs in their sorry state is just absurd IMO.

One really salient point is that Brinker's critics have been right every step of the way. Isn't that funny? Their advice has been free.
