What I find most inexplicable about Bob is that he should have stuck with his conservative, plodding, middling mutual fund picks and bread and butter advice. Instead, he over reaches, thinks that he is better and smarter than he actually is and that he is the brightest bulb in a crate full of smarmy investment pros.

He fails miserably in his attempt to do something that he is grossly incompetent in, likely causes the loss of millions for his subscribers and clients and then blames the consequences of his incompetence and arrogance on everyone else but himself. It is an interesting study in what happens when someone has a one-sided relationship with the world.

He screens out all criticism and argument and takes only those favorable calls and posts that further bolster his high opinion of himself. The result is that he spends the next several years covering up evidence of his own failures while blaming his own customers for being stupid enough to believe in him. I sure hope someone writes more articles about Bob and his follies. Yes, I believe that Brimelow writing two articles about Bob this year is quite a lot of ink devoted to one of many talking radio head investment gurus.

Who was it that made the comment about how Montgomery Funds did well to avoid a Brinker fund because the resultant bad association would hurt Montgomery's rep? Well, I have a low opinion of Flannigan, Hulbert and Brimelow since they've been tainted with the Brinker brush. I'm even wondering about Vanguard although I muse that maybe Brinker is simply licking their boots.

OK Richard now please resume your AR discussion of all things Brinker. When you tire of that maybe we can discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. ROTFLMAO.
