It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact the QQQ is not in the 90's but is now 49.

Actually, if you look at the timing I believe he adopted the "no tell" policy before the QQQ trade really fell apart.

Bob expressed many times his opinion that his weekend comments had no affect on the market. But after the 84 stop was taken out I think he finally came around to accept the view that his trade recommendations could be targeted by specialists with nothing better to do.

So he refuses to discuss short term trades on-air now. That's fine given the problems but maybe he's overdone it. I think people are put-off more by his reluctance to discuss any current market calls on-air. One of his best assets was being able to reach out to people with that kind of confidence that he could give week after week with his latest targets. Now that content is gone from the broadcast and it's a less inspiring program.

"

The problem with that theory is that the decision not to give short term trading advice on the radio was made and announced long before the October QQQ play was started.
