Re: "Elmer, yes Bob called the bottom but if you took his advice you put it all in at SPY 110. When the SPYders got down to 92, how do you think you were feeling? Sure he was right but he always says he would like to side step a 20 to 40% fall, well, last year it fell 20% before recovering." He's good but not perfect, I agree. Can you tell me where I can find the guy that IS perfect? I bought UTEK @ $28 when he recommended it on the Nightly Business Report a couple of years ago. You know where that's gone since :-( EP

Diamond, Elmer, yes Bob called the bottom but if you took his advice you put it all in at SPY 110. When the SPYders got down to 92, how do you think you were feeling? Sure he was right but he always says he would like to side step a 20 to 40% fall, well, last year it fell 20% before recovering. Exactimundo! He always claims, or at least implies strongly that he'll be able to warn his faithful of a significant downturn. He didn't last fall, which led to his roasting on his own show. Tony

Diamond, I asked this question on another thread and am submitting it again here. I wonder if each year that Selling All stocks at the end of February and buying back at the end of October is better than putting up with all the risk and manipulations during the interim?? Maybe the days of buy and hold are not the best approach anymore??? Yes ??? NO??? ANY Thoughts on this matter?? Do you think that Greenspan and the present political party is trying to topple the markets and that it is time for the voters to make changes? We seemed to be really getting hammered at every turn.
