There was a time I heard a few of his radio shows and I got the idea from the callers that he'd saved their bacon, that they'd sold out as a result of his call of the bull market top? answer: Actually Bob Brinker did an asset reallocation. (1)Sell 60% of your holdings. (2)Keep 40% of your holdings.(This 40% was later changed to 35%) (3)Do not recall any "sell this or that stock" That was left up to use to sell 60 cents on the dollar.IMHO. .......................................................... In any case, it would be inconsistent to accept his call of the end of a bull market, and not to sell your stocks, wouldn't it? answer: See above ......................................................... On the matter of stop losses, how would you calculate the price of the stop loss order? I've been toying with placing some. answer: SORRY.Like Bob, I am not going to give you any advice of how to do stop losses. ......................................................... Your questions were very good.IMHO. Larry Dudash
