To Bob's shill shres Point of fact.. yes, I took you off ignore for this... It is about time you were told some facts so you don't continue to look so stupid. I was approached by one of Bob's competitors in 1998 while I was still at HP to be a part of his organization. I went to school with his son who was good on the radio but had no success investing money successfully as I had. Bob's competitor wanted me to manage money for a portfolio he'd advertise via his NATIONAL radio show and newsletter much as Brinker used ABC to promote the BJ Group. He wanted me to come on the radio and talk about the stocks and our managed portfolio. I didn't want to do this but agreed to write about an "explore portfolio" for his newsletter where I could gain some credibility beyond writing for a web site. He got someone else to do the money management. The nasty attacks on me from you and the brinkers started right after I mentioned I was writing for one of Brinker's competitors and my newsletter was doing much better, performance wise, than his. This competitor of Brinker's didn't do well with his newsletter recommendations so he sold the newsletter to a day trading promoter (so he could have the mailing list) and I continued my successful portfolio on my own with my own readers. I also have W2's saying I was paid real money as a stock analyst at a local investment firm in 2000 and 2001. I was brought in as one of the few "writers" who was recommending taking profits in tech stocks and buying value investments like Bank stocks. The VP wanted me to help her convince the president of the firm to stop chasing tech stocks and rotate money to under performing value stocks. I gave a few lecturs to the firm about PE and PEG ratios and showed that GE was over valued relative to the S&P500 by a factor of two at $60 on a PEG basis before it crashed. I think I earned my fees... I was offered a position full time there if I wanted to give up my newsletter, since they didn't want any "Conflict issues" like Brinker had with UTEK. Many of their clients were insiders at local (Silicon Valley) tech companies. I didn't want to manage money and wanted to continue my newsletter writing and internet work so I declined. So... maybe with these facts you won't look like a complete fool with every post you make, but I doubt it.
