LIG: Re: "I just feel sorry for the multitudes who follow him blindly, refuse to expend the energy to do their own due diligence and thinking, and then, when they lose their money, refuse to accept responsibility for their investment mistakes caused by their blind faith in another (necessarily fallible) human being." Nobody like that on this thread. Try somewhere else because you are beginning to bore us. BTW, And I feel sorry for all the thankless half time listeners who hear what they want to hear and expend their energy bashing Brinker with half truths and falsehoods. Re: "Bob has much to offer but should be taken with a grain of salt." Yeah, but I hear salt is not good for you. Re: "If you spent any time learning about the markets (outside of listening to Bob), you would already know that." Nice patronizing dig. Feel better? Good for you. "Life is good" enough for me to disregard your barb. Have anything to offer the thread besides your caustic opinion on Brinker? I didn't think so....

lifeisgood, You said to Justa: Bob has much to offer but should be taken with a grain of salt. If you spent any time learning about the markets (outside of listening to Bob), you would already know that. Obviously, you have very selective hearing and you don't read carefully either. You also have not much spent much time reading posts on this thread, especially those contributed by Justa. What part of Justa's response do you not understand? Justa said: You are entitled to your opinion but take it to another thread. Not here. Look at the thread introduction. The prerequisite for posting here is a fundamental respect for Brinker. Also, another prerequisite is to listen to the show. You are obviously an infrequent listener at best or only hear what you want to hear. I assure you I am not alone in respecting Justa's contributions to this thread, his market knowledge, his ability to make independent investment decisions and his opinion about what postings are appropriate versus those that are not on this thread. Some of your points are valid (e.g., DD and taking responsibility for one's investment decisions), but please reconsider the Brinker and Justa slamming. KurtSS

life, <<Not at all. I respect him a great deal. However, I realize he is only human (and has trouble admitting when he's made a bad call). I just feel sorry for the multitudes who follow him blindly, refuse to expend the energy to do their own due diligence and thinking, and then, when they lose their money, refuse to accept responsibility for their investment mistakes caused by their blind faith in another (necessarily fallible)human being.>> Your post in question had nothing to do with your pity for "the multitudes who follow him blindly...." And by the way those who have followed him blindly have made so much money that they are deserving of envy not pity. I think it would be more reasonable to question the sanity of anyone who would pity folks who have been on the right side of the market for the full duration of the biggest bull in history. You disagree. And while I'm thinking about it let me ask, just how did you go about ascertaining your data regarding the blindness of these so-called multitudes? Are they completely blind or just admitedly on a learning curve and trying to improve their wits and knowledge like most of us around here? << If you spent any time learning about the markets (outside of listening to Bob), you would already know that.>> I have rarely encountered this level of presumptive arrogance. You deserve a metaphysical two by four across your forbone. You scallywag! That you would make such a comment of disrespect to Justa, one of the founders of this thread, is outrageous. Get out and stay out! Demosthenes
