six hours of air time per week is an extremely small price to pay for the opportunity to sidestep such losses. Sidestep some losses and create new ones. Well, I would like to separate the two also. I wish MT the newsletter had never existed. I seem to have lots of company in that thought. As for MT the radio program, what use is it if it doesn't discuss the pros and CONS of his calls? It's like building a house with holes in the floors and covering them up with rugs. If you don't know where the holes were put, you're likely to fall in again. +++++++ How long does it take to say the market's peaked out and go more into cash? 15 minutes, once a week. That's it. The rest is a big advertisement.

He said repeatedly that he would not want to participate in a bear market if he could prevent it. Want to know who's participating in a bear market? His subscribers who are 70% in the equities and 33% in the Q's? This is a declining % because the equities have taken such a hit. Down 40% more in about 4 months on his recommendation! He's still recommending it month after month. The only difference being that his subscribers are stuck at the original buy-ins whereas the MT can easily reset the entry with a few well placed keystrokes. How long does he have to be wrong (or by how much?) before you realize that he doesnt' get it at all. From the other discussion boards (recheck numbers but I think these are correct): The October CTR for a 20% pop to 90 = gone, no reference The January CTR for a 50% pop t0 80(?) = gone, expect reference to drop out over time Now it was a straight down from summer to January. Soon it will be a straight down from summer to what? What do you listen to an investment advisor for? To gleefully chat about how he's playing golf? To have fun at football? You listen (or heaven forbid pay) to have him help you make money. Apologists (those few who are not hiding behind the IGNORE button) unite!
