My own view is that Brinker's comments to the lady were justified. To recall it, she was about to sink her nest egg of $33,000 or so into Microsoft, all at once, based on nothing except that the stock had gone up mightily. [...] Brinker pounced on her for such foolishness. Why should this surprise anyone who listens to Brinker regularly? Brinker tells it like it is.

Sure, tell it like it is. But there is a way to say it! Besides, the lady is reported to have said that she is clueless about investing. Any attack on such a person is like shooting down somebody who has raised his arms in surrender -- certainly not the kind of act that can be termed "worthy of emulation".

Anyway, this just serves to highlight and underline the mindless "our king is right" mentality that is prevalent on this forum.

Dipy.
