it seems like half or more of the time writers here are reaming bob for what he has already told us to do and the other half is spent reaming bob for what he hasn't told us to do. the third half is spent looking for a new guru to tell us what to do. Your math sounds a lot like BB's math. best... LIG

>>>what would you have him discuss?<<< Well he could start by trying to convince increasingly skeptical listeners that he is in tune with the market. He could take a stand on any relevant issue pertaining to the market. But, instead, his commentary is vague and designed to be non-committal. His arrogant posture, while entertaining during the bull run, is now filled with hypocrisy. He wont set a target for the market. His timeline has a sliding scale. He wont say word one about the QQQ strategy. He wont give any details on the output from his model. He stopped his short term commentary presumably so that he could not be judged by it. In short, he appears psychologically detached from the market and his listeners. His views on the market have become too mechanical as if all of his timing now rests on the output of a model. One that has never been tested in these conditions and that barely worked at the top. You cannot know based on what he has told you that his Jan '02 call wasn't just the result of a lucky coin toss. It's clear that Bob has faith in his model, but he can't simply expect others to just trust him sight unseen. At these times we are forced to scrutinize everything he has said in the past to discern if he tells the truth now. He leaves us no other choice.
