It sounded today like Bob is about ready to pull the plug on the emerging market. Finally! The fund that he has been recommending in that area is getting killed this year. While Bob can be proud of his Asia call he has seemed to miss the emerging market decline. I know he would remind of his weighting of only 5% but it was a missed call nonetheless.

One of Bob's picks that also bombed was Komag (KMAG). I don't know what it was when he first recommended it, but it has fallen from over $30 to $5 1/2. I sold mine at $18 for a 50% loss. This is indeed not meant as an overall criticism of Bob's work. I think he gives excellent advice.

To done lane and/or anyone who has the answer. don, I am very well aware of the split-adjusted prices of when MSFT and VOD were recommended. (And so are most listeners to Bob's program.) I need more info, however. Specifically, what day in August 1990 was MSFT recommended for purchase at $3.75, what are the dates of any other buy recommendations for MSFT, and what date did Bob go to a HOLD on MSFT? Furthermore, I need similar info for VOD. I would guess this info shouldn't be that hard to gather since you seem to know so much about the fact that Bob recommended MSFT at a split-adjusted $3.75 and VOD at a split-adjusted $16.75. Apparently, you seem to post this fact over and over and over again...

It seems he is a licensed psychiatrist in addition to being an out-of-work attorney and a horrible statistician. Also, it seems Justa Stiff heard at least four times the exact date of the VOD purchase. Maybe you could ask him for some help. BTW, in your research of official Marketimer recommendations, did you encounter the names OnTrack Systems, Gabelli Equity Trust, or Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets? If so, what do you know regarding their performance? Was there really a recommendation for a stock called Stratus Computer? I'm not sure of that one. Anyone that has the answers to any of these questions and can not post them on SI, please feel free to e-mail your answers to Rillinois@aol.com. Best Regards. Rillinois P.S. don, in regards to "A $10,000 investment in MSFT at that time is now worth $270,000. A $1000 investment is now worth $27,000." gee, thanks for doing the arithmetic for me. I always get confused when trying to figure out the difference between a $10,000 investment and a $1,000 investment. <g> So how does that work again? Do you move the decimal over to the left one place or to the right? <g> Can you do a few more examples for me, don? <g> How about a $100 investment? And be careful with this next one...How about a $1 investment? <g>
