Mohan - Maybe the only reason this thread has become a "Hail Bob" as you think is because he is being unfairly criticized by an internet nut who is on a shooting spree of misinformation. Guess who? Your comment about "his being right on the market for the wrong reasons" are difficult to swallow. He does not view the fundamentals as "great" currently. When did he say that? Maybe he said that on January 10-11, 1998 or thereabouts and he was right. What was your position on January 12, 1998? Somehow I bet you were a tad bearish. The fundamentals are acceptable to him now so as to remain fully invested with the possibility of a correction of less than 10% at anytime. He sees no bear market possibility at least until the fourth quarter of 1998. He has mentioned the liquidity factor quite often. He has mentioned the growing money supply during his show too so there is no need to wonder. But I wonder. Are you getting his show where you are? You are right. STII is having its problems currently. No, Brinker's understanding of the semiconductor capital equipment market is not "horrendous." That is plain silly. It is a difficult sector to follow. Most semiconductor capital equipment executives have missed the boat too as have most if not all analysts. And we expect Brinker to be smarter than them? Interesting. I am glad you think Brinker has integrity. If that is the case, I am not sure why you said this: "The way I see Bob now is no better than a Wall Street broker whose only interest is to see perpetually higher stock prices so that his very livelihood is not threatened."

mmv, rillinois is wrong insofar as he/she ONLY harps on the bad and doesn't address the good. what has been bob's 10 year history? you bet a 1900% gain definitely makes up for a lot of underperformers. you know i think the semi area is toast and i think they are bad calls even now. but there is a balance. bob is not perfect by any means. bob can't call every stock right. but he has done lots of good and not just the bad that rillinois keeps pointing out incessently like there is no good. best of luck.

Lets keep the record straight on stockpicks. Brinker recommended Microsoft, Vodafone and UTEK in Marketimer. He has never ever recommended the other stocks mentioned on NBR in Marketimer therefore nobody had to pay for such advice since NBR is on PBS and available free everywhere. If I were Brinker I would say to hell with television appearances completely, which he may have done already. He surely does not need the exposure, and why should he get involved with the loonies that are out to trash him for anything less than total perfection in whatever he says. He will probably leave his radio show soon just to shutdown the loonies once and for all. God this country has alot of very weird people in it. In fact, this thread is becoming a very depressing experience for the sane.
