I believe Mr. Brinker did mention once that he purposefully does not have contact with the media (with an occasional exception like NBR). Nevertheless, given his "uncanny" calls on the market I would think they would seek him out or quote him. That stand-up comedian Mr. Bowtie is on every second yaking about inflation of all things. How can he do that with a straight face?

Bob:I have wondered about this myself. Could it be that CNBC doesn't want to promote an ABC personality or program? For that matter, why hasn't Bob B. ever been on Wall St. Week or CNN's nightly business show? Here are some possible reasons not necessarily in order of importance: l. Mr. Brinker lives in Florida, away from where most of these shows are produced. He probably doesn't have the time or inclination to travel to them. I would suggest that he is the "Key" person in his organization and it is necessary for him to be on the job. 2. Mr. Brinker primarily picks No Load Mutual Funds and I believe that these shows prefer Individual Stock pickers. When he appears on NBR he has to come up Individual stocks and it is at odds with what he would like to emphasize. 3. Although Bob is "King Fish" to us, he is probably small to medium size to these producers in terms of dollars managed which would give others more attention. These are just some of my thoughts thrown out there as a possible explaination. JMB
