Hey, can I get in on some of this inbreeding, too? Everyone knows I don't have any opinions of my own and need someone to tell me what to think! <g,d, & r>

Marc: Your cousin Jessie Sue is invited so long as you are married to her <g>.

Regarding this comment from the other thread:

"1)is this the same credible KGO listener who was clearly a credible source earlier on regarding things Bob Brinker.

2)If so why would he be making incorrect statements now? I assume there was no late change of plans given all those who correctly warned about his current credibility."

Here is Korn's summary for the yesterday:

"Bob Brinker was not the host of Moneytalk today. Pursuant to the subscription terms, there will be no e-mail service this weekend.

I hope everyone has a great July 4th! - David"

So what is the incentive for anyone in-the-know to post accurate information about Brinker's schedule to make Korn's life easier? None. Let him sit by the radio every weekend guessing and second guessing whether Brinker will be on so that he has to wonder whether he is working that weekend.

But I think it is ironic that Mr. Korn admits that he has nothing to summarize without Brinker. And so Korn's service is worth nothing without him but he is working to take Brinker off the air whether he knows it or not.

Now I first posted accurate information on Brinker's schedule this weekend. Where did that information show up? In a Korn summary without attribution to this stiff. So Mr. Korn is out there searching for this kind of information and my post proved that point. Why give it to him. If I know of anything going into the future, why should I post it here knowing that Korn is trying to make a dollar off of it?

Now did you ever wonder why those in-the-know no longer post on bobbrinker.com on any topic anymore? Maybe it is out of concern that it will show up in a Korn summary. Makes sense to me.

So what is the problem with Korn? Well, it is a matter of principle. He showed up at bobbrinker.com and provided summaries without charge and either before or during that stint there decided he could make a buck off the site. Imagine going into someone else's house and trying to sell you wares. That is how it may have been perceived. That is my bet.

ProFunds now has 1.5 beta sector funds. It's suppose to be both long and short though I don't notice the short ones here. Expect more product to be pumped out as Rydex and ProFunds fight it out blow by blow to compete with each other. Potomac Funds also in the mix but less so and don't seem to be going after retail customers.
