<The most expensive brokerage stock is Siebert
Financial. The shares have risen sharply recently.
The stock trades at 90 times earnings. In response to a caller
on whether he should roll is standard IRA to a Roth IRA, he
said that's iffy on the premise never pay taxes today that can
be put off til tomorrow. "Consult your CPA. "I think the IRS is
trying to trap un-sophisticated investor's to pay taxe now>

Bob's comments this weekend regarding SIEB were
timely--down 18% today, though I suppose it is possible
he got his idea from Barron's too.

His comment regarding Roth taxes rings true--why should
I lock in my taxes now! Heck, my picks could crash just
as soon as I convert to a Roth from my traditional IRA.

Having been a permabear, I never much cared for Brinker's
show...I suspect if you tracked every specific call he has
made, you might find he has done no better than the market.
But...the market has done awfully well.

He did have a disparaging comment about not getting rich
from penny stocks, I'm going to see if I cant prove 'ol
Bob wrong on that one--there are some pennies out there
which are a better bet than the Dow I think.

Anyway, your summary is much appreciated Joe, thanks.

happy trading
oops--happy dollar cost averaging, forgot for a second
what thread I was on.
