--Piglet, I am only too happy to respond. A person such as I alluded to above would buy Bob's 8-page newsletter for information, input and suggestions. He would then consider all of this in his financial decision-making, along with listening to the radio program when possible, and seeking input from other good sources.

Simple.

BTW, are you by chance familiar with Colleen McCullough's historical novels on Ancient Rome? One of the main characters in a couple of the books is an aristocrat named Metellus Pius. According to McCullough, this Metellus guy (who is, overall, a very admirable person) had a nickname of "Piglet."

I cannot find any reference to this rather affectionate nickname in any actual historical work. But it may well be factual and accurate, as her historical fiction does stick very close to the known truth. In fact, she says nothing in her books is known to be false. IOW, she might make some things up, but in those cases they might be true; they are never known to be not true.
