Since the QQQ advice debacle, Bob refocused his radio show mostly on general financial advice. After all, it was on his radio show that he excitedly gave his first QQQ counter-trend rally advice in May 2000. The hubris from that timely turnaround call appeared to give him the overconfidence to give the second ill-fated call in October 2000 whereby the QQQ's failed to turn and kept dropping like a stone. Obviously, he's learned that the radio show is not a viable medium to give specific market advice. Moreover, he has not made any such calls in his monthly Marketimer newsletter since those days either.

As a result of the radio program refocus, the portion of the program where he answers caller's questions has become less interesting for those seeking his market opinion. And it his forced people who still value his market opinion to buy his newsletter. Sometimes he does do great interviews during the last hour of the program. I enjoy hearing him interview the oil analyst, Charlie Maxwell, who used to be a regular expert guest on Wall Street Week with Louis Ruckeyser.
