Bob has been acting eratically in recent months. Previously he had referred to the NASDAQ as a "casino", and said investing in a portfolio of NASDAQ tech stocks was "like owning one stock". Now he advocates subscribers putting about a forth of their total assets in QQQ. Speculating on Bob's motivation, I have to wonder if he is swinging for the fences in hopes of making a name for himself and expanding his subscriber base. The radio show goes to hell with endless talk one weekend on EMULEX and then weeks and weeks of repetitive rantings on election BS. Then rumors start of his retirement which possibly may have originated by him. After the QQQ trade goes south, he refuses to talk about it on the show and issues a newsletter with instructions just as though his original instructions in the bulletin had never been issued. Then he suddenly near the date of his supposed retirement, he returns the radio show to its normal format, more or less, but still refusing to discuss the QQQ trade. Bob then shuts down access to his bulletin board in an attempt to silence criticism, but it continues. Next Bob goes after subscribers who are critical of his trade and kicks them off of his bulletin board. The criticisms, albeit somewhat muffled, continue. Those damned customers! If it werent for them, Bob would be a lot happier! You have to wonder what is going on in his head.
