If a poster said "Obama lies," and I knew for a fact that the poster also lies, I would think it would be legitimate to point that out. When they criticize him for missing the bear market, I also think it's legitimate to point out that he was far from alone. But when they criticize him for covering up his mistakes, you won't see ME defending him. If someone who covers up his own mistakes accuses him of covering up his mistakes, you may very well see me pointing that out. <<Seems that when you resort to attacking those who have something to say about Bob Brinker that is true but that you don't approve of because you hold him in high esteem or want him to be more successful, you show that they are correct about him and you can't defend him with logic.>> --First, I'm not "attacking" anyone. Second, my personal opinion of Bob Brinker is much worse than you are assuming. I just don't like to see people who spin accuse him of spinning. <<Just looking back I don't' see that you or Elan or Queen, Groniel, Midwest Investor, have anything at all to say about Bob Brinker in nearly all of your posts.>> --You definitely didn't look closely enough at my posts.
