In response to message posted by Kirk:"He seems to be a smart guru, his talks makes sense to thfundementalsls to investing in stocks. I have no interest in this tip. Only to help all that are interested in the stock market. His top picks ( as expressed on CNBC 12/26 ) are: 1.Citigroup 2.Microsoft 3.Exodus. Any commentary comments on him are welcomed. I would like to know more about the man."
This is Kirk in late 2000 expressing his opinion about one of the poster boys of the 1990s Mania. Is this not the most naive statement in hindsight? Don't you feel stupid, Kirk? You surely ought to.
C down 50% from late 2000.
MSFT down 40%.
EXDSQ down 99.98%.
Black also recommended GE, INTC, AXP, TYC, AIG, and other stocks that have gotten slaughtered.
GE down 50%.
INTC down 64%.
AXP down 45%.
TYC down 75%.
AIG down 48%.
Black onceTycod confidently that "Tyco is a GE clone." What an idiot. Little did he know how correct he is going to be about GE.
Now Black is trying to sell himself as a value guy after earlier jumping on the small cap bandwagon and seeing these stocks crater too. He's now talking dividends, and he claims that he said "Tech is dead!" as long ago as summer of 2000. This is BS! He opened his GLB Fund in November 2000, loaded it with tech stocks, and then had to shut it down less than a year later after losing his clients about 60% of their money.
The guy is a media personality whose only investment experience was during the greatest mania in world history. He's running around the country giving seminars still pretending to know what he's talking about in front of dummies who still don't know what hit them, still clinging to hope for a return to the bubble days. Now he has no clue, except that he desperately needs a jobCDsxpect him to be spinning CDs for a living after he loses all of his clients' money in the months ahead.
What a loser!

In response to message posted by Roger_Babson:Roger... You should learn to read more carefully.
Note my original post and READ IT.
It was a cut and paste of something Art99 wrote!
I just put it into a new thread to keep track of this guy. You should thank me for this service as it means we have a record of what people are predicting.
I did not offer ANY opinion on him because I never heard of him.
He lost 60% in less than a year in a fund??? That is a tough one to top.

» mlewisr - Rob Black History
I think Roger has it about right with regards to Rob Black since I have been listening to him for over 5 years when he was on different AM radio business shows in the Virginia Maryland area. He has always been a front runner going with whatever was hot in the market at the time. I believe he has no real added value other than being another talking head on the radio. I can remember several stocks he touted that did not work out and also him bashing other talking heads that did not agree with what he was buying or selling at the time. His back ground before radio as I understand it was he was a letter writer for Jack Rothestein who has a local show in the VA MD area. Jack Rothstein has a good radio show every Tuesday evening from 5-6pm on AM 1190 in the VA MD area. Unlike Rob he admits to making mistakes and tells you what you can learn from these mistakes where as Rob kind of like Bob Brinker is never wrong and has a very large ego.-- posted by mlewisr

In response to message posted by Kirk:Rob Black was on in Portland for several years until he got the boot.
Q1 this year, he predicted that the stock market would be flat with NO CHANCE of seeing significant upside or downside. He indicated we have Iraq, a job crisis, etc., etc. -- We all know what happened in Q2 and Q3 to stocks.
He tosses out a bunch of predictions and then revisits mainly his correct predictions.
Ray Lucia is now on the station that Rob Black was on.
