re:Yah, Brinker's goal is to maintain a radio audience no matter what and will do anything to achieve that goal even if it means sacrificing his integrity by giving substandard advice. That's why we all listen to his show. Sure, whatever. Two examples of this integrity (not that long term listeners should need any). One caller asked about finding a financial planner for no load funds in AZ. Any other radio host would have mentioned his own company. BJ was not mentioned or hinted to by Bob and it was the obvious choice. He also pays for his commercials about MT. The point that I'm trying to make is that Bob has went to great pains to protect his integrity because really in his business integrity is everything.

You, Justa, as usual, have hit the nail squarely on the head. I can't believe the number of people who seem obsessed with whether Brinker is going to be able to claim victory or not, as if that was the most important thing about investing. I guess the second half of the old buy low, sell high adage is now seen as un-American, given the emotional responses I am seeing to Brinker's suggestion that people take money off the table.
