Do what you will, but be aware that Batman has a vested interest in selling you stock. Some might say this is his job. Brinker and Birinyi do not have this vested interest. I looked at Gruntal's website as I didn't remember them being in the investment banking business. They are not from what I can gather. Perhaps you should check the accuracy of your statement as I could be wrong? gruntal.com JoeB seems to be in direct competition with the BJ Group and Newsletter "Marketimer". I would say that both Brinker and Battipaglis's interests and business goals are the same -> "Call the market correctly in public and offer investment advice for free that is good to entice paying customers to pay for more." Joe has been making tons for his clients and seems to have been the most accurate in predicting what stocks and industries would lead and telling his customers how to take advantage the past 2 or 3 years. Free newsletter for JoeB gruntal.com It would be interesting to compare Bob's Portfolio #1 that is outperforming the market to that of Joe B's... I plan to as I just ordered Joe's free newsletter samples to start this comparison.

Capitalism at work. We all benefit. You're right to be skeptical, to be suspicious, to question motives. But your wrong if you let it blind you to what has been some damn good analysis. A
