there will still be countless many who are much the richer, tangibly and intangibly, for listening to Brinker. Wonderful post once again, my friend. My seeds were already planted in the market before I started listening to Brinker. He has helped me maintain confidence to stay in the market these past few yrs which is hard to measure, but I acknowledge it here. I found his rare comments like "taking care of one's body so you can enjoy your riches" (paraphrase) to really stick. He was saying stuff about how not smoking and doing regular aerobics was important. I have been a shake drinker myself for 10 yrs but only kicked the subsadized legal weed habit 20 months ago and it was only after I realized critical mass was very close and I wanted to live to enjoy it as a healthy person. I can now do an hr on the stairmaster and treadmill averaging over 85% of my max heart rate! Yes, we make the decisions, but good advice like daBrink's is very rare and valuable. regards Kirk out

Truman, I tried to reply to your post a couple of times. The submit Gene ate my posts. -g- As many on SI would know, I have a cynical approach to things - including the commentary by Brinker. As much as I think highly of his integrity, I wish he is less critical about brokers (I personally do not like a cold-calling, cold-blooded moron, but I do think that there are several honest brokers who "earn" their buck - just as any one of us) and the bears. After all, Bob will never know when he has to eat his own words. I did not listen to his show over the weekend. But I understand that he took a shot at some "perinnial" bears. I for one happen to think we are in a bubble, which is not, obviously, what Bob thinks. If he is right about his latest "buy" recco, it will be just another feather in his cap. If he is not, he will have an egg on his face - that too a rotten one, which I think is very likely. As I said before, if Bob can give a sell signal within 10% of the ultimate market peak, I will accept his genius. Until then, the jury is still out. As they say about the analysts, in a bull market we don't need them and in a bear market we don't want them. The same applies to Bob Brinker, the seer ! As with people making a lot of money listening to his show, I am not sure I want to give him 100% credit to Bob. If any thing, a person as disciplined as sticking to a clear strategy, whether it is Bob's recco or some one else's, deserves at least 50% of the credit. Good luck! -MMV
