» gabbai - Terry Savage

Is it appropriate to post a comment re: Bob's replacement - i.e. Terry Savage?

If so, I would say I was not impressed at all. There was a call from a guy who I thought had a good idea as far as borrowing money with a home equity loan and using it for an aged parent. She was touting reverse mortgages but I don't think she really was willing to take the time to evaluate it properly. I thought the caller was more knowledgeable than she.

Kirk's right gabbai . there really isn't any one right or wrong way to do some of this stuff . there's other issues involved , especially when it concerns family members with an estate and a senior's care , that can really complcate matters .

Kirk's right that a reverse mortgage keeps the mom's house separate from other financial considerations in the estate .

Initially I was not impressed with her either, however she has amazing guests, and always brings in practical timely information. When she subbed for Bob in November and December, she bought in people to talk about the prescription plan. Her guest on IRA's was amazing, as was the interview with James Dines. The more I hear of her the better I like her, she is very pragmatic. As for the reverse mortgae, better to keep parent's affairs and your personal affairs seperate.

I have the Moneytalk on Demand, as I am convinced our local station is trying to sabatoge Bob (and has been for some years), and finally remove him from their line up by saying his numbers are down. Since this is a New York station, I'm pretty sure it is intentional. They want something new. They have changed his times i.e. 8PM - 11PM (ridiculous), shorten his times (cut off the last hour), pre-empt him regularly, I no longer even make plans to listen on the radio, but the Money talk on demand is nice because you also do not get the commercials, and if you miss something you can re-play it. For those who really want to they can make downloads for ipods and such (but this takes lots of space).

In response to Bulls over Bulls Plus Bears - Free Chart posted by Kirk:

The spikes down in sentiment are what I think matter. What was really interesting to me is how they walked a rising support line.

Notice, though that the peaks of the sentiment line have also been consistently declining since the recovery of the stock market in mid-2003.

If one draws a line connecting the downward-sloping peaks with the upward sloping nadirs, the point of intersection might be where people believe the market will reach the peak of its recovery before slipping back into recession. I haven't done this exercise, so don't know where that point lies in the future.

With an inverted yield curve, and it is indeed inverted, not flat as Bernake, and now the media is alleging, a recession is inevitable.

But, then again, you probably will not want to trust my opinion, since I have missed most of this recent rise in stock values by following my bearish outlook.

I believe the yield on the 3-month bills is still a few basis points below the yield on the 30-year bonds!

(But, hey, this time it's different anyway; Greenspan and Bernanke said so.)

» alphacd - Has anyone noticed that Bob is becoming less bullish

When Bob is very bullish he usually finds many ways of saying it in his broadcasts. Lately however he seems to give little hint as to where he sees things going (although I must confess to not listening all the time).
Any thoughts on this matter?

In response to Has anyone noticed that Bob is becoming less bullish posted by alphacd:

hello alphacd ,

in your confession that you don't listen all the time is probably your answer . smile . i listen to bob brinker every chance i get either on the radio or online and when he discusses the market , he has always been bullish . i also subscribe to his newsletter and he is also very bullish there too and has lately raised his expected top from " the mid 1300's range , and the door remains open to the possibility that a higher price target may develop going forward . " so i'd say bob brinker is still very bullish no matter weither you hear it or not . course bob can change his mind at any time depending on his model indicators . and i personally feel bob is too bullish and because of that may miss the next sell signal . just my opinion of course .

In response to Philantropy not me?? posted by pete2214:

bob does bring in quite a bit of money in donations in his ' benefit ' paid performances he holds regularily . usually in California hosted by KGO , a radio station out of San Francisco .

but as regards the rest of bob's fortune , with his heirs , he probably already has plans for that . as for Vegas , i have friends who gamble there regularily and they call those , " deposits " . smile
