I was always turned off by Bob calling people names. You know, that has never really bothered me. Maybe that speaks poorly of my character, but I think it was in fun and added some to the show. The names were not in poor taste or degrading. No, what bothers me about Brinker is he has this show to discuss the market, market timing and his views on the market and discussion is too on sided. I am deeply bothered when someone has a forum to express their views and take questions and he does not address the honest questions. When a good caller finds a major hole in his arguments, the caller is told to not listen or the questions are just evaded. Sometimes the caller is even discredited where he can't answer back. Remember the caller asking about the NASDAQ when it was skying in the Spring and Bob said the caller shouldn't listen to Brinker if he wanted to invest in that casino sector? Rather than admit that he was too early to sell or that he didn't anticipate the NASDAQ jumping 40% or so, he often tries to discredit the people asking the questions. His "friend" Don Lane did the same to me years ago when I asked why his model went to cash in 1987 and what changed to give him confidence now. Remembere how he evaded all discussion of the DJIA going below 8650 after all he did was talk about it testing that level for weeks on end? Months later we got the term "exogenous events" like expected events move the market. oh well, he does provide good debate fodder. 8) Kirk out
