RE:geode00: There's an old saying among media people: "There's no such thing as bad publicity." From that point of view, you are really doing Bob a great favor by helping draw attention to his radio program. If anything, it has probably helped his ratings. Pretty pathetic attempt at reverse psychology Richard, but nice try. 8) I've made that point for a long time... You would think that Brinker would LOVE the Korn Interpretations for that very reason... they are good publicity. Even the worst critics are what make the super stars of radio so famous. Dr. Laura is huge in large part to the critics and professionals in her field that can't stand her. Bob and Dr. Laura have much in common.

The January call wasn't a call to 100% cash. In fact, he hasn't made that call in the face of what he stated he would do if he saw a bear coming...get out. He didn't do that even after all of these months. Why is that? Could it be that he doesn't have the courage of his convictions EXCEPT when doing incredibly risky trades? That isn't the other side of the story, it's the same story. He states something emphatically and then he does something else and then he refuses to discuss it and then he takes false credit. That's the same story. He's making the uninformed think he went to cash and didn't go into the QQQs. Why don't you explain the enormous contradiction between the January call, his previous emphatic assertions about bear markets, his constant prattling about capital preservation and....his jumping into this horrendous market with both feet? Please explain how this makes his advice worth a jelly bean. Same story, same side.
