I2, your apology is accepted. Please note I did not have a beef with the four facts you listed in your first response to me. Congratulations! 1) I'm sorry if I sound that way to you. I do not want to discredit Bob, I have endorsed and followed his advice on indexing and other financial matters. I really think you are focusing in on the negatives of my posts only. 2) No bad taste in my mouth here, I2. While it's true that I devoted a few pages of text to three bad calls that I believe Bob has made, I have also devoted the introduction of each of those posts thanking Bob for the great advice he has given me regarding index funds. Unfortunately, my critics seem to ignore that. 3)I decided not to respond to your initial inquiry of whether I was a Bad News Bear or a financial advisor that Bob makes fun of on the show based on my thought that it was strictly in effort to deflect the issue. If you really need to know, however, the answer is categorically NO to both allegations. I am not a Bad News Bear and I am not a financial advisor that Bob makes fun of on the show. 4)Like I said initially, apology accepted. Lets move on and learn from each other. 5)Please note I did not have a beef with the four facts you listed in your first response to me. Congratulations! I do think, however, that you can find a way to agree with me that even though Bob did issue a sell signal and saved you money in the process, it is possible that he likes to give the impression to listeners that he sold the fund because of the pending crisis. When, of course, he made no mention of this. 6)I agree. I'd much rather end this particular dialogue with you by agreeing to disagree than by throwing mud back and forth with you. I hope my future dialogues with you and others go like this too. Best Regards. Rillinois
