Don,
Your criticism of my objectivity merits further analysis, so let's walk through this together:
>Please try to be fair in your future posts rather than
self serving by omitting very important recommendations
that have in this case gone up by fifteen times and four times.
By your logic it would also be unfair to omit Fool recommendations that have been successful. For example, they recommended Iomega on May 16, 1995 at a split-adjusted $1.28. IOM is currently at 12 7/8, a gain of 906%. Since inception, their FOOL Portfolio is +231%, compared to the S&P +110% and NASDAQ +116%.
>Also, your lack of patience regarding UTEK is absurd.
It's time for you to try to be fair. I ended my post with the statement that I was holding UTEK and RAIN because I was satisfied with the longer term prospects of both issues. Where in that statement did you detect a "lack of patience?"
It was not my intention to become the defender of the Fools in this forum, but in my attempt to interject some facts and objectivity to this discussion, it appears that I have reluctantly assumed that role. Since I only listened to their shows intermittently, it is hard for me address such concepts as "Buy a good stock and never sell it," which on it's face appears to be an insane way to invest. If they said that, I vehemently disagree. However, based on the mean-spirited bias that on occasion has appeared in this thread, I must question the veracity of that alleged Fool paradigm.
As for the abilities of The Brink to properly identify gift horse buying opportunities, he has been stellar, no argument here. His current bullishness is tempered by what he considers market valuation risk, so looking back a year from now, he will be able to claim bragging rights, whether we're up, down, or both.
