Mr Bull... Before I jump in, I'll answer that with another question... Why does David Letterman ridicule the President of the US or anyone else for that matter? Because it sells. First and Foremost, Bob works for Mickey Mouse and Mickey is Entertainment. Bonus points that we get educated along with entertained otherwise it would just be another issue of "Hard Copy" or "Judge Judy"... regards Kirk

Stock Bull <<Mr. GreenJeans, can you please help me out by answering this question? Why does a well educated and respected financial analyst, with a national radio show, ridicule those that make a mistake? (Of course, I'm referring to BB.) Thank you for your response.>> It is because Bob is both an educator and by virtue of being on the radio an "entertainer." I believe Bob by pointing out those with markedly, persistently, wrong calls nicknames them because he is educating the audience, in an entertaining manner, by demonstrating why those calls were wrong to begin with and what they have failed to understand when putting forth those views. Now may I ask you a question. Why would you want to start a contest to give Bob a nickname when he has persistently been correct for close to decade? A name he has not even been close to earning.
