Don,
  Should Bob have some additional time on his hands next year, perhaps you could convince him to participate (more frequently) in this forum?
  As for the Motley Fools, despite some of the criticism voiced here, I think they are refreshing, engaging, entertaining and informative, four qualities sorely lacking from previous guest hosts.  No, I do not buy all of their investment  philosophy, nor do I buy all of Bob's ( I like stocks over funds and have the returns to justify  it), but, given the lack of intelligent financial commentary on the air, present company excluded, the Fools are a welcome substitute for their occasional appearances. 
  Naturally, I would prefer Bob over the Fools, but apparently that's not up to me.  If it were, I'd have Bob call me every morning for a 30 minute chat about the markets.  What are the chances?
