* Market Commentary * "We've had a de facto two-tier market for months now: one tier consisting of a half a hundred big "growth" stocks and their loyal institutional admirers, the other made up of the thousands of hum-drum issues and just-plain-folk investors...A section of the market [should be] officially set aside for the exclusive use of the big players and their chosen playthings, more or less like an African game preserve, if only in the interest of public safety. For sure as shooting, should the institutional gamesmen tire of the sport, many an innocent might be trampled in the resulting stampede. We're still convinced that one major excess of this bull market-- the institutional herding into a relatively few stocks--has yet to be remedied." Does anyone know when this statement was made and by whom?

Don: There is no way in the world that I couldn't be Bob Brinker. I couldn't handle that identity. I would crack under pressure. You see, he has 4-6 million "bosses" in earshot who give him a daily performance review on every move he makes. That is why he is king of the working stiffs in my humble opinion. Who here among us could answer to all those "bosses?" Good grief, imagine all the pressure he was under during the big correction last fall from all of the wannabes and followers when the market did not behave exactly according to plan. I remember in Rochester when he was flocked with hundreds of listeners and subscribers asking for personal advice after his speech. I can multiply that number by 500k and shake my head in awe. I couldn't handle that responsibility. No, I will have to be content with being who I am. But, I have to admit, there is a little bit of Bob in me and most threaders here. And that is most definitely a good thing, unless one happens to be a golfer by profession. You see, Brinker rules the airwaves and I rule the golf course for I am known to all as: Bob, Jr. <g>, King of the Scottsdale Invitational HA!
