Will, my value funds have been getting crushed--especially today! I think the market is coming after the piano player.

Looks like Bob was right again! - smile .

Also, I see UTEK is down to $13 and change. It's a good thing BB recommended a sale on that baby at $27, isn't it?

I'm suggesting it's too late to get out of the QQQs and go to cash, and that Intel and Amgen and good tech mutual funds are MUCH BETTER options than the QQQs. Do you disagree?

Giving Boblike advice on this thread considering what Bob advice has been like over the last two years is ridiculous. You keep on limiting your view so narrowly.

Is it too late to sell the QQQs? Are you saying they can't go lower? Why would you think that if you think the market is overvalued? Will your head explode from the contradiction? If so, then you're a Bobette.

I think the best advice I've heard is:

1. Get your asset allocation and risk tolerances straight.
2. Figure out what you have and see where you're missing assets out of that allocation.
3. Get the best assets you can find.
4. If you can't find great assets, wait until you can.
5. Watch all your assets carefully, rebalance frequently in such volatile markets.
6. Avoid sharks like Bob Brinker.

I have no idea where Intel and Amgen are going and would never suggest anyone buy or sell anything. Intel's 20 day EMA broke its 50 and 200 day EMAs several months ago, it gapped down huge and is now at 1998 levels. Could it bounce? Could it reverse and make new highs? Sure, anything can happen but it doesn't look very pretty.

Amgen's EMAs also broke down and it's lost almost half its value in about 3 months. Could it reverse and go up? Sure, anything can happen but it doesn't look very pretty either.

Heck, WCOME (ask Kirk!) doubled today if you include AH trading. Geez.

I think I've learned the LESSON OF THE BRINKER QQQs and I'd rather not repeat the experience thank you.

Well, let's see, he shouldn't have recommended it in the first place since he was doing so when he had an undisclosed relationship with the company. After buying and holding for several years, Bob suggested selling it right before it went up to around $40.

In other words, he was a putz for suggesting it without full disclosure, he held it as it plummeted and he sold it right before it would have had a nice return. Long suffering subscribers is right!

Give her a bone. UTEK was a good sell at $27. $37 would have been better... but $27 is double where it is now. Too bad the bashers were not infesting the MSFT and VOD boards on Yahoo or he might have advised selling those in 2001 also. smile

Semiconductor capital equipment stocks are options on the semiconductor industry (highly cyclical in its own right) without expiration premiums. PERFECT vehicle for trading around a long core position as the volatility is HUGE but you need a steel stomach to play.

Dija.....

You need to do some research.....

The start of the chart is about when the Boob was touting UTEK. Up a little, then all the way down to $12, then back up, with Boob selling at $27 as Utek was on the way to $38.

So UTEK is not even at the low is passed thru before the Boob sold. I say the Boob was lucky he got a round trip ticket, but he missed flying first class ( $38 ) by flying too soon.

dija you still don't get it do you? my big beef with brinker is not that he made an investment error, its the way he handled it, and what i learned about his character and how he still spins. i don't begrudge someone for not picking the right stock or fund or making a market timing mistake. brinker's actions, coverup, spin, website, alias crap, trying to pretend to be something he is not, etc. is what really ticked me off. do you get it?

In response to message posted by Kirk:

Of all the "bones" to give Dija, this is one of the sorriest, most ragged of the bunch. I don't think Bob had any clue where the price of UTEK was going and was just happy to get out even after, what, 3 years?

Dija should pick a better bone, one that has some meat on it and is fresher and not under a cloud of flies. The odd thing is, the critics know more about Bob and his advice than the bots do. I gave JoeBobFromSpokane a bunch of things I thought that Bob should get credit for. Dija, I imagine, has no idea what those were.

In response to message posted by dija:

Is Bob really an O.K guy? His January 2000 call to raise 60% cash sure looks good even if some of that cash was lost on the cubes. As you say, he recommended bailing UTEK at $27.

Is it O.K. to say Bob is really O.K.?

Catbird and dija

I agree with both of you, Bob's sell on UTEK at $27 was one of his best calls. His subscribers only lost $5 a share after holding for 3 years.
