david, shark bob always needs a whipping boy to deflect attention away from himself and his own screw ups. on the way up it was the bad news bears. on the way down, the bad news bears kicked his arse so he's beating on the new 20 lb weakling - the buy and holders. anything to keep folks from gazing into his mouth to count his rows of teeth.

Bob said the alternative is to practice "risk management I about fell over in my chair laughing when Brinker uttered this statement. Risk management? What does Brinker know about risk management? Nothing! If Brinker knew anything about risk, then: - Why has he abandoned his losing QQQ trade? - Why did he initiate the trade at a high level of market instability? - Why did he choose to put such a high percentage of cash in the loser? - Why did he rely on simple technical factors to enter this trade? - Why did he have no strategy to handle a wrong trade - Why did he treat a bear market trade like it was a bull market? Brinker is so cavalier about yammering stuff he know's nothing about. He should go back to sports radio before he leads others into quick sand.

Obviously Bob is losing what little is left of his mind. Ironies: 1. Bob is a LTBH investor. Not 100% but with enough that he has ridden down this bear market and has no business blasting permabulls as he is partly in their camp. Bob, why are you and others LTBH's? The answer is, Bob, that neither you or they have enough confidence in your market timing abilities to go 2Xs short the market. Simply yammering that the market "could" go down 70% is NOT A PREDICTION. 2. LTBH's work well in a secular bull market? ROTFLMAO. That's like saying holding onto your stocks as they are going up will give you stock market gains. The idiocy of that statement makes me want to call up the guys in white coats for you. 3. Bob, Bob, Bob risk management in your world means NOT LISTENING TO YOU. Thank you.
