How about Mr. GreenJeans? Do you have anything against him?

davidk555: RE: "He never apologized to boot" Well let's change that right now! Let it be said and let it be written that humbly, with hat in hand, on his knees begging forgiveness on this 14th day of June 2002; that PETE from STAMFORD, CT officially apologized to davidk555 for the mentioned posted wish that davidk555 (don't remember the wish extending to his family, but if it did, deem that this apology extends to said family) be run over by a bus. Look at it this way. Since that post, you probably have always looked both ways crossing the street. Perhaps that caution saved your life <grn>. Sorry to see that you took the post so seriously and emotionally to the point that you still apparently obsess over it. I had no idea that my posts could have such power over people. Hopefully you can move on with your life now. And as for your newsletter, I wish it and you well. re: "This person has been blinded by his unfettered worship of Brinker in the past." You have no objective basis to make such a blanket statement. It sounds more like your feelings are still hurt from the post you mentioned. Listening carefully to learn from a knowledgeable person does not constitute "unfettered worship" and does not imply that the person being listened to does not have many flaws. Those flaws do not make the extraction of usable knowledge and timing advice impossible as the 1990's have proved to me. And we can agree to disagree as to whether or not the radio host for which this thread is named is knowledgeable or not. From current market levels, his January 2000 call to raise 60% cash reserves looks better and better to me (I'm glad I started doing that even earlier than he advised and regret not having raised even more cash and regret staying in some aggressive funds that went down, but that's all my fault). Since the failed short term QQQ trading advice against the market trend started, I now take my radio listening with a large grain of salt and find little usable substance on the radio show. I do believe that those who read books off his recommended reading list at his website will gain significant investment knowledge and wisdom they can use for a lifetime. re: "I don't trust anything written by the poster using the name PETE from STAMFORD, CT." Are you sure? He's made a lot of great SI posts lately refuting the move to require that companies book "stock option grant expense" on their income statements and he's shown light on how stock options are like an invisible hand that enable executives to pick the pockets of company shareholders during periods of rising stock prices. Your not going to tar and feather the quality of all of his posts just because of one bad one he made to you in the past, are you? P :-)
