>>Bob makes an excellent effort to make sure he does not talk about MarketTimer on the show unless someone asks.<< I don't disagree. And I feel he has high integrity in that regard - I've heard other hosts who constantly hawk their newsletter. I was just pointing out that he DOES have something to sell. Even if he never mentioned Marketimer (impossible to do nowadays, but it seems like he used to refuse to talk about it in years past), he is still selling his ability to time the market, as well as provide information for those many who are just starting out. I'd be very, very surprised if Bob were funding unsold commercial time with Marketimer commercials. In fact, I'd be surprised if there was any unsold time. I do agree with you that at this point in his life, Bob must be doing this because he wants to, not because he needs to. He keeps bringing up Bill Gates and his love of work, and I suspect the comparison is appropriate. I think Bob truly loves doing this, otherwise, he'd be golfing full time. Ken
