Just to answer my own question. If he does say to back up the truck on the Qs (or anything else like them) on the radio, I suspect his subscribers' heads will explode. That would, however, back up the oft-repeated theory that subscribing is a bad idea and has proven to be hazardous to your financial health while listening to the first few minutes of his show is ok.

geode00, Re: If he tells everyone to back up the truck on the Qs because they are going 80+ by June, which of his listeners wouldn't buy? If he loved it in the 80s why isn't he taking every penny he (and others) have and shoving them into Qs in the 40s? Rest assured that once the Nasdaq does recover Bob will proclaim he was a lone voice in the wilderness telling subscribers to buy QQQ at the bottom. Of course, the bottom will be a "bottom to be named later" and it will not include any former premature bottoms. Those premature bottoms will be sent back to the minors and never see the light of day. Furthermore, I suspect we will see some of the bots proclaim that they indeed backed up the truck at that bottom to be named later +/- 1/8. Best Regards. Rillinois

"I suspect that the reason he has refused to take questions, not only about QQQs, but also about CTRs is because the Qs have gone from 80+ to the 40s in about 4 1/2 months." But the decision was made and announced in July or August. He had no way of knowing that a recommendation he would make two months later would go against him. "If he really moves markets with his words, why doesn't he bolster his ego and get on his soapbox about the NAS100 being severely oversold? If he tells everyone to back up the truck on the Qs because they are going 80+ by June, which of his listeners wouldn't buy?" I've thought about that too, but it would be pump-and-dump. Maybe he is more ethical than you think.
