It's gutsy in my book to post this type of info to a hostile audience. Looking back on his previous posts he only posts on important turning points and his work on calling turns is impressive. That does not mean I'm buying on this info but it confirms other very good services I follow about a bottom put in or very close.

Someone sent me this: Re: BB Cancels All Library MT Subscripti pete_stamford (59/M/Stamford, CT) 4/11/01 7:54 pm tradingdays - I understand what you are saying. But until two years ago, it seemed he only had a handfull of detractors. Then at the end of his NBR interview in July 1999 came the reading of the KL e-mail questioning his relationship to UTEK which to me represented a transparent attempt to embarrass him on air. Then the summaries despute and growing numbers of rude posts at his site bashing him and distorting his record. So he limits his site and then pulls it when it creates telephone constipation to MT offices that are inadequately staffed to handle the calls. So what happens, bashing spreads with a vengence to SI and to 101 and increases. Then the QQQ trade disasters and the nastyness increases - it's all very ugly. People attacking him relentlessly for the same warmed over bologna going back as far as 1997. They call him a snake oil salesman hawking newsletters. I ask myself "What kind of people make it their obsession to do this, instead of just moving on to another more suitable advisor? The answer is not pleasant and I personally would not want to be in his shoes, even with all the wealth that goes with it. Now tradingdays, YOU PUT YOURSELF IN HIS SHOES - NOW YOU ARE HIM on the receiving end of all this medacity. How would you be holding up at this point ? Would you have renewed your contract with ABC Radio ? From a human standpoint, I sure hope he's O.K. I believe most here would feel that way too because from what I see, real human beings post here, not the kind that could have the above described obsessions. I would think that it takes a lot of one's energy to keep a stiff upper lip experiencing what he does. P Pete... I didn't ask Brinker about UTEK... Go read the transcript. I actually posted my MSFT question on my web site and suggested others send in their questions. Brinker even thanked me for asking about MSFT as it was clear he knew THAT question was coming... I just wanted to have my name said on TV and there was nothing sinister in my email. I even have the email as proof so I hope you post a retraction on all sites where you have posted this lie. Now why are you all upset that someone asked about UTEK anyway? How much did you invest in the QQQ gamble anyway? My guess is you are one of the people we were trying to warn... but you didn't listen. One can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. BTW, I don't need to embarrass Bob on the air. He does just fine without my help. BTW2, some people that post on my site and here DO think he is a snake oil salesman that should be taken off the air. Myself, I think it is good he is on the radio as we can point to him as an example. Kirk out
