I wouldn't object if BB did a 3-5 minute taped intro to give us his current market views... I agree with you there, Bob. Most, if not all, of what he has to say can be easily compressed into a 5-min market update. What I do have a problem with is when he just takes off, when a lot of people are counting on him. There is a lot of anxiety out there, and there are a lot of people who hang on his every word. When he just decides to not show up, it leaves a lot of people in the lurch, especially during high activity times in the market. I see it as a slap in the face to his followers, and demonstrates BB's arrogance and disrespect for his listeners. I'm not one of his "True Believers" like some on this thread, but I do give a lot of weight to his opinions. For those who have complete and true faith, his absense isn't a problem -- they, I assume, can walk on water with their oracle. For me, and many like me, we can think for ourselves, and would appreciate his opinion to steady us in the face of conflicting information. Complete and unquestioning faith in BB may work for some of you, but the ol' boy is gonna blow it someday, and I don't want to be one of those who goes down with his (star) ship. I patiently await your flames. jim
