Truman, in search of some intellectual stimulation I hop among many threads on SI, read a lot of material and (used to) listen to Bob. I would like to call myself an independent thinker. While I welcome input from all sources, I do not like to idolize any person as my Guru. (No offense to any particular person on this thread.)
The hardest thing for me to do is to express admiration to Bob's knowledge and wisdom and, at the same time, express my disagreement or resentment towards some of his opinionated and name calling orgy on the radio. While some on this thread preferred to call it entertainment, I don't understand why anyone would tune to a "Money Talk" show for entertainment! Any how, some on this thread have been very vocal in defending Bob against some of my remarks.
I am not here to declare victory, rather, I am here to urge the importance of "openness" in thinking. I am putting together a summary of my thoughts about Bob. You may disagree with me, but it won't hurt to read them with an open mind. BTW, I stick to the comment I made earlier - "Bob Brinker has been right thus far for the wrong reasons." What propelled the stocks higher is the bubble effect, not mere fundamentals.

I strongly believed that Bob will definitely give one wrong call at the wrong time, that will tarnish his image in a big way. But, I never stuck my neck-out on any of his calls except for the one a couple of weeks ago, which you summarized as: #reply-5565128
I voiced my disagreement on his most recent call in:
#reply-5572158
#reply-5575586
#reply-5601126
As with Bob's latest buy signal being very wrong, the jury is still out. But, I personally feel vindicated from the allegations made against me on this thread by some blind followers of Bob.
