Justa, Do you really believe that anyone (i.e. Bob Brinker) can consistently time the market? I realize that that question is blasphemous on this thread, but I've never seen anyone successfully time it twice. ;-) Ian.

Re: "And you must realize that Bob is talking to a general audience who need an internet warning as they are clueless as can be seen by the callers who bought these shares at or near the top and invested much of their money in them."
