<<However, those who took him literally last October 10 when he said "the market outlook is so bullish now you cannot afford to be out of the market for even one day" are glad they did.>>

How the weekend geniuses who have shown up on this thread recently can justify their claims of fence-sitting and "having it both ways" in the face of such calls is one of the great mysteries of the human mind. Having stayed long in the face of the incredible fear that was rampant last Fall, thanks in no small measure to Bob's determined reassurance, has made me so much better off today than where I would have been, it just galls the heck out of me to read the postings of these guys who think they're so smart, but in reality appear to be severely challenged in listening comprehension skills.

Yes, I remember that program well. He also said that those who were short the market would be punished severely. As it happened, I was short the market at the time. But by 10AM Monday I had taken profits on my short position and I was long. A very good call by BB, no doubt about it.
