I think it is wrong to give puestionable motives to the fools for mentioning RAIN. I think it just shows that for now they're wrong and look stupid and it again emphasizes Bob's mantra for being well diversified and avoiding specific stock risk as much as possible. Maybe if they would have had a meal there, gotten sick and vomited they would have sold short and made money. I think the problem with this buy what you know stuff is that most people think they know a lot more than they do like thinking your a restaurant analyst just because you enjoyed a meal somewhere.

[...] the Motley Fools' usurped the commander's chair of the StarShip MoneyTalk and, most particularly, the goodwill and vast audience that has taken Mr. Brinker years, great pains, and an unblemished record of integrity to engender. During that "occupation" of the StarShip by these two fast-talking, breast-beating carnival barkers, Mr. Brinker's listenership was "treated" to an unusually determined and persistent RainForest Cafe stock sales pitch. I couldn't have put it better -- "...two fast-talking, breast-beating carnival barkers..." Pretty accurate description of the duo! At least the guy who sells heating oil futures on the radio has to pay for the air-time before he screws the investors. The fools did it for free... :-(( Dipy.
