He got lucky on his "Amazon to 400" call,

KIS,

Pls give credit where credit is due! I really dont like it when you ascribe *everything* to luck.
I told you the Motley Fool turned 50K into 800K. You said it was luck. You said anybody can buy a lottery ticket.

When HB made his "$400" call, *everybody* (except maybe Jeff B.) LOL and ROFLMAO. They thought he was insane!! But it came true and now he is "lucky".
Do you know how far he stuck his neck out? Do you know how much hard work he might have put into Research and analysis?
KIS, sometimes it's *not* luck. Sometimes, people have insight others dont possess.
Let me ask you. Was Jeff B. "lucky"? Do you know that he quit a high paying job at a hedge fund and moved his family to seattle to found amazon.com? What about Abby Cohen? Luck?
Again, give credit when its due.

>> Blodgett wouldn't know a spreadsheet from a bedsheet,

If you get on cnbc again, make sure they use this quote. I think that is more clever than the stuff J. Kernan says.
