You stated the following: "Bob Brinker.. He is a nice man that reports on the stock market and never has a bad thing to say..."
Obviously you don't really listen to the guy. He frequently states the BAD. His advice is right on and the "average joe" would be well served by following his advice and avoiding single stock risk as well as a 4% cap on any one stock, if they must stray into single stock risk. Not everyone has your phenominal trading skills and relying on a Brinker is not a bad way to go. Considering Brinker is a conservative kind of guy, he is always ripping the current administrations NO VETO of any spending.
Why not actually listen to what someone has to say for a decent period of time before going at them.
