Since I won't be able to post my usual comprehensive, thoughtful (and free) show summary after the show, I'm going to do it now so you'll have it for the weekend. (This summary applies to both Saturday and Sunday's shows. If Bill Flanagan is on this weekend, use it for the following week)Welcome to Moneytalk. I'm Bob Brinker along with you on this MAGNIFICENT Saturday afternoon, the first weekend in November. Trekkies who followed our advice two weekends ago when we said bonds were a RAGING BUY, have watermelon smiles right about now. Last month we called for new highs in the indexes, and we have achieved that in the NASDAQ, with the DOW and S&P 500 just below their highs. We will have NO BEAR MARKET in 1999. You bought Microsoft in 1990 on our advice? Wow. What did you pay for the stock? Oh my. And how much money did you put into the stock? Oh WOW. What a great story. Don't forget we'll be celebrating our 14th anniversary on super bowl Sunday. Intel we regard as a trading stock because of the high volatility. Trekkies who followed our advice two weekends ago when we said bonds were a RAGING BUY, have watermelon smiles right about now. I don't follow the stock you're asking about, and we don't discuss individual stocks on the program. [EC: Notwithstanding what I just said about Microsoft and Intel. Or policy only applies to my mistakes and stocks I don't know anything about.] We are dollar cost averaging into the market at this time.

I could use you on the weeneds.-- posted by David_Korn » Kirk - Saturday Summary - B2B Company List David Korn did a nice job this week.With his normal summary of Moneytalk, he gave a long write-up on B2B. I guess he can tell tyrie that he is giving away the summaries of Moneytalk FOR FREE as a loss leader and selling the extra links to websites and extra information on what Brinker talks about as the real money maker. I don't play an attorney on TV, so WDIK? Still, email me if interested in getting a summary and I will forward it to David. -Kirk out Here is a list of some B2B companies that David dug up and put in his summary: I did some poking around and came up with a list of stocks that are either directly or indirectly involved in b2b.

It is copied here with the permission of the author:Author: Trekkie Hi all! This is Trekkie, but I am not in Houston I am in the airport in Kuala Lumpur. Sounds like much has been happening in the US while I was gone. Funny thing. Janet Reno can't find anything wrong with the military action against US citizens at Waco. Be back soon and will try to catch up. Regards, Trekkie -- posted by JenL_2 » JenL_2 - Sunday 11/21 MoneyTalk On Sunday 11/21 MoneyTalk during the monologue BB read these comments from Alan Abelson from his Up & Down Wall Street column in 11/22 Barrons:Speaking, as we just were, of lack of couth brings to mind Louis Rukeyser, the prattling panjandrum of Wall Street Week. We must confess that normally we don't watch the program, since we go to press just about the time it comes on the air. We also think it's pretty boring. As it happens, we have viewed the Wall Street Week installment that surfaced on the tube a couple of Fridays ago. And we were happy to find nothing much had changed. The host was still doing his interminable opening spiel and still smirking at his own feeble jokes. But what occasions this little blurb is less the merits of the program (the most prominent of which is that it's only a half-hour) than Mr. Rukeyser's treatment of Gail Dudack, who watches the market for Warburg Dillon Read (all three of them) and also has done long service for him as one of the forecasters who make up something insipidly called the Elves Index. Full disclosure compels us to note that over the years, Gail has appeared in this magazine a number of times as investment pundit, invariably acquitting herself admirably and to our readers' advantage. We've known her for a long while, followed her stuff with interest and can say that, in every sense, she's first-rate. For most of the 'Nineties, she was right on the money in her market calls and then, in mid-1996, she changed her stance from stalwartly bullish to warily bearish. She thought the risks were starting to outweigh the potential rewards. Obviously, she was wrong, if not about the risks, certainly about the rewards. And her continuing reservations provoked Mr. Rukeyser's disapproval. So two weeks ago -- are you prepared for the shock -- he defrocked her as an Elf! No argument that, as pasha, he has a perfect right to populate his program and his silly index as he wants. Our quarrel, though, is the nasty way he bounced Gail, portentously and publicly chastising her for the mortal sin of bearishness and casting her out from Elfdom. As a result, in that Edenic little piece of the Rukeyser redoubt, blessed unanimity and upbeatness reign once again, and nary a discouraging word is heard about the stock market. But we haven't yet gotten to the uncouth part of the story. That has to do with Mr. Rukeyser's failure to inform Gail of her pending removal ahead of time. She was sent an e-mail telling her of her expulsion as an Elf Friday evening just before six p.m. She only discovered the missive sometime Monday and after receiving a number of consoling phone calls from friends and strangers who had seen Mr. Rukeyser's egregious performance. We guess that's what's known in show biz, which is the biz Mr. R is in, as a class act. Pretty much the whole MoneyTalk show was taken up with comments on this article back and forth between Bob and his callers. During Suite 101 Chat Shawn gave us these two links to pictures of Gail Dudack: http://www.ifta.org/tsaa/pages/gdudack.h... http://www.pbs.org/mpt/rukeyser/dudack.h...
