Look geode,

I've been listening to Bob Brinker for nearly 10 years. A co-workers got his newsletter (I share my Don Hays newsletters with him). Barely a weekend goes by when I do not catch "Money Talk" at least one of the days.

The guy has been uncanny with market direction calls. Nobody better at calling "gift horse buying opportunities".

Brinker advises his listeners/subscribers to invest in index funds and no-load mutual funds. Every once in awhile, during a drastic market selloff, Brinker has advised "agressive" investors that they may want to try and trade the QQQ, but not to exceed 4% of ones total portfolio.
One such time he just plain blew the call, to which he admitted on his radio program. Any normal person who understands the risks of investing knows that nobody is perfect (not even Jim P). They suck up their loss and move on.
I've read the message boards, there are some namby-pamby pantywaist types out there who will just not let this go. I suspect that these people probably took Brinkers cautious prediction and went max margin on tech stocks - ended up losing big.

So if you've got a problem with Bob Brinker, geode. Tell me specifically what your problem is rather than point me to some stupid web sites full of whiners.
