Flanagan on Moneytalk Today

Bob Brinker is not on Moneytalk today. Bill Flanagan is on.

Bob Brinker is on record saying he did not expect this correction. How much has the stock market declined so far?
.
I posted this on Kirk's Facebook Brinker Discussion Forum: "The Dow had its worst week since 2003, I'd sure be interested in knowing what the percentages are now."

Hey Honey, what's the deal with this here Money Talk Show?

It seems Blinker has been AWOL half the time so far this year.

They're gonna half to rename the show The Bill Flannigan Show.

Do you think Blinker is gonna bail out of radio if the market gets much worse?

Given the economic situation and insane levels of debt it looks like the market could dive much further and if it does I think we're gonna have to put Bob's face on a milk carton to find him.

LOL Quis....I've said for some time now that Brinker has already retired, but just hasn't told anyone yet. 8^)

Many listeners don't care for Flanagan, and listening to him can often be like watching paint dry, but at least he seems to be forthright with his opinions of the stock market.

My sincere apologies to all the readers who are interested in discussing Bob Brinker here on my Blog.

The repeated childish attacks by some of Bob Brinker's supporters are designed with one thing in mind -- that is to stop the free exchange of dialogue on the subject.
.
This type of harrassment and attempts to demean anyone who dares to objectively post the facts about their hero has been going on for years.

Honeybee, this is the real octavian. I am just wondering if you are getting the results you expected on the Bob Brinker poll??

Honeybee said...

Thank you, MrPig...I hired a new "housecleaning" service. They do a very thorough job of taking out the trash.
