Richard Palm, What are you and PETE from STAMFORD, CT smoking??? Re: Too bad you waited until QQQ trade was already seriously underwater. The first time you posted here about it was November 11th. It was down 14% at that time, but you did not warn against buying, choosing instead to complain about him moving the benchmark. I don't regard exposing a shark as "complaining". Read the post again. I new exactly what Bob was up to as soon as I read the November issue. Message 14787849 Re: Your next post on the subject was on November 22nd, when you called the trade a "debacle." Unfortunately it was already down 20% at that time. Seems like you have no clue as to what I regard as the danger in following Bob's advice. Bob's interest are not in giving sound trading advice to his subscribers, it is in perpetuating the image of being a successful market timer. Read the post again. "I believe this debacle of a trade once again shows how Bob is more concerned with PR than sound trading advice." Message 14863969 Richard, I have never given the "FALSE IMPRESSION" that I know what the market is going to do in 2 to 4 months or 4 to 6 months. You and PETE from STAMFORD, CT seem to want to bait me to make a market related prediction so that you can prove I can't time the market either. Why would I do that when I have openly said that this is an impossible task to do consistently over time? Re: Unfortunately it was already down 20% at that time. I don't know what kind of math you're using, but in the old math down 20% is better off than down 50%. Besides my point was that the trade did not work the way Bob originally intended so he should have cut his losses. Instead, as I predicted, he kept on lowering his benchmark low and extending the time frame as usual in an unsuccessful attempt to save face. BTW, it is your reasoning (...it was already down 20% at that time...) that converts traders into investors. This is a dangerous attitude to have. Have you ever heard the saying bulls and bears make money, pigs get slaughtered? Best Regards. Rillinois
