SteveH: re:<Slow-Record Radio /Cassette >

Try calling a RecordEX at 1(800) 872-3578 and ask about their modified SONY Model CFM-155 Radio Cassette-Corder. It slow records of 3 hours on a single side 90-minute cassette. Of course, you'll need to play such slow recorded cassettes on slow play machines (they won't work in your car cassette player.

They also carry a PANASONIC Slow record SlimLine Cassette Recorder (Model RQ-2102. That machine has no radio.

For an Antenna, you may get better results with the tunable "SELECT-A-TENNA". They carry that too.

For a good digital timer to plug your radio and tape recorder into, try RADIO SHACK (Catalog No. 63-892A) Programmable Timer (7 days - 14 presets).

The address of RecordEX is 8025 Terrace Plaza - Suite A5, Tampa, FL 33617. If you call them and tell them what you're looking for, they'll send you a list of their current models (including descriptions) and prices.

I dealt with them five years ago. Their service was excellent. Hope they're still in business. Good luck.

Did anyone else think the call from "Jerry" was really Rillinious (or is it villinious). In any case I think the guys comments did sting Bob a little. Took Bob a little while to make his points -- I thought he got off track a little. Here are the most salient points as I see it. First, Bob has said a million times UTEK is a 1999 story. Therefore, any discussions of share price at this point are a waste of time. Second, Bob always advises a limit of 4% in any individual stock. Third, I thought Bob might have conceded one point. Bob is does not make a claim of infallibility. Maybe UTEK will never be a homerun. To early to say at this point but it is possible (a 4% liimit implicitly concedes this point). Also the guy is right that Bob has not pinpointed the exact optimal buying price for UTEK. Which, of course, would be an absurd expectation. It's ongoing buy. He never has even tried to make predictions on UTEK minute-to-minute or day-to-day performance, that I know of. Long term he likes the stock. He has a fantastic record of calling the overall market, mutual funds and individual stocks. But a sure thing and the exact bottom price? The guy must be a stand up comedian!

Bob seemed less excited about the market this weekend. He noted two indicators which are starting to look shaky. Valuations are at an all time record high (24 times trailing earnings for the S&P). Investor sentiment is close to turning (almost 70% bullish). Is a sideways market close by?

Thanks to Truman, Sandy and Pete for their help with info on latest on Radios -- to better hear Bob Brinker of course.

Steve,
I own the "Reel Talk" radio recorder and I have used it to record Money Talk for over a year now. I use a high quality 110 minute cassette and get 3 hours 40 minutes of recording time per side. I am able to get Bob's entire show plus extra on each side of the 110 min cassette (no need to flip tape). It records at approx. 1/4 of normal speed so you cannot play it in your car cassette player, however Reel Talk is AC/DC and can play from D-Cell batteries in your car.

The exact model I have is the Reel-Talk RT-101, I bought it from the Sharper Image through AOL for around $130. BTW I did not catch Jerry's conversation with Bob this weekend since Money Talk was not on.

Hope this helps,
Don
