and all of a sudden HER picks are OUR picks

Hehe, yeah sounds like that Suzy Ormand on Larry King last night. She was on Larry King in early January, and her #1 reco in early January was "buy the QQQ's...opportunity of a lifetime." Fast-forward to last night...she's on Larry King again, and when asked about her QQQ tout and how she buried any goofy viewer who was dumb enough to act on her reco that night, she said, "well, the QQQs went up shortly after I touted them and anyone with common sense would've known to have taken a profit."

Well, there's a huge flaw in her "convenient" sidestep. She says "anyone with common sense would've known when to sell..." Problem is, anyone with said 'common sense' would've never listened and acted on her touts in the first place. The only people who actually LISTENED to her were the dopes who bought the QQQs in early January, and we can be assured that THEY had no common sense because they were acting on a (very) flawed stock tip from some looney tunes financial planner who hawks her wares on late night QVC.

Darwin would be proud. Hey Suzy, should we still be looking in our furniture cushions for spare change? Just wondering.
