Shangrali to honey: What I don't get is the hostility towards a boring financial newsletter writer and a talkshow host. . . In my view, you give Bob way too much attention that [than] he deserves - in the big scheme of things. Yes, that's a regular stumper, isn't it?

Shangrali, I'm always interested to hear from real subscribers and/or fans of Bob Brinker. "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. " "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 (sic) he deserves - in the big scheme of things. " Interesting, you claim to be informed and educated and you pay the guy for a newsletter and are not concerned if it's a bunch of bullloney. And you say Honey gives Bob Brinker "way too much attention ( more than) he deserves" ? Interesting. Some questions. 1) What have you personally learned in the newsletter that was not available on the net or the radio program? 2) What other newsletter that you know of hides a call for up to 1/3 of an entire portfolio and used the money devoted to that brainiac call a second time, counting the second call? 3) How important is character and integrity to you in a financial advisor? 4) What do you think of a financial newsletter writer who has one stock in his newsletter as his "only buy" for a long period of time. The stock vastly under performs the market and it's sector. It is brought to light two years later that Bob Brinker was being paid by that company UTEK and never disclosed the relationship? 5) How long have you been subscribing to his newsletter? 6) How many newsletters do you subscribe to?
