Charles, I suggest you go to the top of the thread read the posting policy twice and if you decide you don't like it take your post which is obnoxious ridiculous and disrespectful to Bob to the other Bob Brinker board or somewhere else. The tone and substance of your post is not appreciated here. I erased a lot nastier reply since I don't care to have a fight here tonight .

<<Bob's 4% rule has cost many investors who have lowered their positions in the Nasdaq 100 stocks a fortune. Look at the major gains in Cisco or Intel. Bob's call on UTEK to Marketimer subscribers has been a disaster while he gave free advise on the major semi equipment stocks to the public.>> You're contradicting yourself. Yes, the 4% limitation reduces one's ability to hit a home run on individual winners, but it also limits one's losses on losers like (so far) UTEK. Furthermore, many investors don't have your tolerance for risk. One of the effects of concentrating one's assets is increased volatility. Bob had a hard enough job just keeping people from selling out of their mutual funds last October. Imagine how much worse it would have been if he had been advising his readers and listeners to concentrate their assets in volatile sectors, as you seem to favor. It would have been a disaster.
