honeytres, I think you are being too kind to the likes of bob brinker by only pointing out the hard cold facts. What makes brinker so dangerous to the wealth of his listeners is he seldom corrects those that give him more credit than he deserves. Take shangrali for instance. Now I don’t want any hard feeling or misunderstanding with shangrali, but I think this is an example that shows how deceptive brinker can be. When was the last time we heard a caller on the radio thank bob for getting them out of the market in January 2000 and back in March 2003? Did bob correct them by giving a full run down of his 60% later to 65% cash position? Did he mention the act immediately bulletin? The off the books using money twice scheme? By letting these important facts slip under the radar bob deprives new listeners and subscribers of the rest of the story. He allows them to think bob is better than he really is. When it comes to money matters I think folks deserve the entire story rather than selective bits and pieces. Steve Thompson BTW I’m sure Shirley will agree.

"What do you think about BOB BRINKER now claiming he made a profit on the Qs? Kind of embarrassing for his devoted fans, huh?" I'm like a lot of folks who subscribe to his newsletter and listen to his broadcast. We are informed, educated, and want a 3rd party's view of the market. We're thankful that he does his thing. I'm going to see what his son is up to with is own newsletter. What I don't get is the hostility towards a boring financial newsletter writer and a talkshow host. Financial writers don't have any official protocols on what they claim; or what they write. Motley Fool newsletters - any financial newsletter - have the same type of issues - they can claim any type of results they want. In my view, you give Bob way too much attention that he deserves - in the big scheme of things.
