RE: "My point is that this type of advice is not really characteristic of his investment philosophy. His "whipsaw" advice on such a widely held stock appears to be more self serving to Bob's trading saavy and ego." Bob never indicated that it was his "advise" to buy INTC. He "advises" diversification via mutual funds. When asked about his feelings on INTC, he will provide them. But he NEVER said, "go out and buy INTC." Best wishes, I2

I like his show, but I don't think thats quite how it went. We heard he was bullish last Sunday and that "he" had got in at 69. The stock had closed the Friday before Bob's show last weekend at around 72 and opened higher Monday and closed the day at 75. So if we followed Bob's bullishness on Intel last week, we were in somewhere between 73 and 75. We tune in next week only to find Bob out at 77. However, Intel closed at bid 74 3/4 and for all we know may open down. RE: My point is that this type of advice is not really characteristic of his investment philosophy. His "whipsaw" advice on such a widely held stock appears to be more self serving to Bob's trading saavy and ego. I don't think it serves his followers well to get a conflicting message about staying fully invested vs. trading on a weekly basis for 10% short term gains. While your point about INTC's lackluster 52 week trailing performance is true, it should be pointed out that the stock almost tripled from 25 in the preceding year. _________________ ________________________ I agree with you. Exactly what was he trying to say, he flip/flopped on Intel like I've never heard him before, I was very disappointed in his style on that one, not so much the message. It is a well known and Intel long published fact that margins will shrink to 50%, Bob seemed to be surprised by that. He missed the boat on that this weekend and showed a lack of knowledge. jim

RE: Intel comments Those of us who have listened to BB over the years know that he makes two kinds of recommendations on the show. First, and foremost, are the very clear and emphatic recommendations to invest in no-load mutual funds in general. Occaisonally (more-so lately, it seems) he will discuss recommendations on specific mutual funds. Second, and much more infrequently, he will discuss stocks. Most of his stock comments are what I would call "between the lines" recommendations. For example, a wise listener may have shorted Coke several months ago, based on BB's frequent comments about the over-valuation of that stock. Never once, however, did BB recommend shorting Coke. I can recall similar comments a few years back about IOMEGA, Gillette, and other high-valued stocks. I too, however, am baffled by his comments on Intel. I wonder if BB hasn't been nabbing a quick 10 or 15 percent on Intel's price swings this past year, and that this is simply the first time that the details slipped out on the air ??

"In at 73 to 75"? What in the world are you talking about? Brinker has never ever told anyone to buy or sell Intel. He has never recommended any purchase or sale of Intel. He has constantly been asked by callers about his personal view on Intel and he has been willing to share his personal view on Intel by telling callers how he has played this stock which he always calls a trading vehicle. Noone listening to Moneytalk could ever buy or sell Intel based on his personal view because he has given no such advice to listeners. If you do not wish to know his personal view on Intel tell all callers to stop asking constantly about it. Then you will not hear it. Up to now his trading philosophy on Intel is perfect.
