<<I don't see how a person making a bear call public would be working against his own interests if he had already sold and/or gone short the market.>>

In the context of this thread, he would be working against his own interests because he wouldn't have any friends anymore.

Certainly all the regulars would respect Bob's desire to keep any bear calls private until announced on the radio.

So the question comes down to whether one would believe some unknown poster saying that Bob made such a call. If someone does not believe in Bob's model enough to subscribe personally, I doubt they would believe someone claiming Bob made such a call. At least not enough to be willing to act on it.
