If proper portfolio management was CNBC's objective there would have been balance in the guest analysts and spin anchor positions that helped to inflate this bubble. It's too late now so why pretend.

<Buy and sell stops are key to proper portfolio management, as you know. > Actually Ted, as a 20-some year vet of the market and ex-member of many exchanges [ie. I know how these things work] I can tell you that without a doubt these tools are used by traders [ie. investors have NO business using them] and even there misguidedly. They are stupid tools. DAK

Oh, come on, Mr. David. Stops get run all the time, just for fun and profit. I think the better advise would be to sell out when one changes his mind on why to hold the stock in the first place. BTW, welcome to the CFZ. We are a bit crude for your tastes, but manage to get by. I, for one, would like you to hang around so you can counter the negatives we post about CNBS. Doubt you have the time, though. sigh...... Regards.

<<It's standard, prudent advice that we have advocated for as long as we have been on the air>> Hi Ted, good to see you in the Clown-Free Zone. Yes, I agree, advocating stop losses is very sound advice, particularly for highly speculative issues. Is their any chance of having Bill Fleckenstein back on your show this week? Lots of my friends, coworkers and relatives were very impressed with how you handled that interview last Friday. Mr. Fleckenstein had some interesting observations on the end of quarter tape-painting that we seem to experience each quarter (and Friday is the end of this quarter, so it would certainly be a timely interview). Here's his recent thoughts on the issue (published yesterday on Grantsinvestor.com): Message 15574208 Anyways, good to see you here. Feel free to drop in anytime, these bears' bark is worse than their bite (well, usually)<G>. Regards Patron
