Agreed.... Thats why I am going into the office strong tomorrow morning (and why I am posting here at 930 on a friday night).... I have about 70 callbacks and am determined to get 4 new meetings for the next 2 weeks from that calling session...

I dont care if I have to stay all day- although I would be missing the beach and the 85 degree day..

I talked to a woman whose broker turned 600K into 350K over the last 4 years and she seemed interested in working with me. Her spouse howver insists that the #'s I gave them (8%) are too low and they’ll never reach thei rgoal with #'s like that.



Does anyone else deal with people like this? It is almost a daily occurecnce for me.

Are you the same Bankrep1 who told us that the market is driven by earnings and earnings will always go up so therefore the market will always go up?  Is that you?

Why not show them an Equity Indexed Annuity?  With the market sure to soar they should  be whole before you know it--and getting 7% of that $350,000 makes it an even better idea.

Or you might suggest 3 million shares of Merde Ltd at a dime a share.  It's a French company that is sure to benefit because they sell a filter for gas masks that are sold in Israel and, now get this, also in Lebanon.

You can't help him. He knows what he needs and you can't deliver.

He needs to win the lottery. I don’t get why someone would continue to use a broker who turned 600K into 350K over the last 3 years. It has been an excellent time for returns, but this guys broker who churns him in and out of stocks has huge losses, he’s a real genius probably making alot of money sucking this guys retirement dry.

7 callbacks this morning... 2 appts set for this wednesday. One guy with 600K at an old 401K that he insisted on managing himself (until about 2 days ago when he ''realized he wasnt too bright with this stuff"), and an older couple with trusteed IRA's and trust investments at Northern Trust..... NICE !!!!!!

At this pace I will be outta here at noon and having my first Pacifico by one.....

Nice work.

Yeah blarm, congratulations!

Something else I do and I almost posted it Thursday night. Whenever we have significant international problems that occur during the week, it's almost a 100% certainty that the Friday of the same week will be a down day. Why? A lot of your heavy hitter traders do not want to hold positions over the weekend during uncertain times. Since the international situation can get worse Saturday and Sunday and they can't sell out of their stock positions, they normally will sell-out on Friday and re-evaluate what to do over the weekend. This virtually assures that Friday will be a down day.

How does knowing this benefit you? What would it be worth to you to call your best prospects Thursday evening to say that there is a good chance that the market will be down on Friday and why? Think you might score some brownie points?

Just some food for thought.

Fine, change the number to 18%.

BASELESS PREDICTION ALERT:

I expect Friday 07-21-06, to be a down day; although, not as much as last Friday. I can't imagine many big traders wanting to hold stocks over the weekend, given the events in the Middle East.

Just my opinion.

Yes, my infallible predictive skills were correct, once again!

If you want to know what the market will do Monday, just call 1-MAKE-ME-RICH. It's $20 per minute and I cover all the major indices. Operators are standing by. (Shhh, even Cramer and Bernanke call me!)

To get winning lottery numbers, dial extension #18.

To find out if you'll pass Series 7, dial extension #14.

To place "bladder control" curses on your enemies, dial #13.

To find out who will win the next World Series and the Super Bowl, dial #15. (Hint: A Southern Native American and a Southern Predatory Bird.)

ANOTHER BASELESS MARKET PREDICTION:

I'm predicting another down day for the market, on Friday 07-28-06. Given the flat performance today, the uncertainty over Middle East events, and the fact that a lot of traders don't like holding stocks over the weekend, I'm guessing a 70-90 point drop for the day.

Of course, feel free to convert all your clients' assets to cash or short the market, given this "priceless" piece of market intelligence.

Aw c'mon, humor me. I've gotten two predictions right. I'm on a roll, baby! Just think, in a couple of months, when I've established a track record, I'll be invited to do a guest shot on Cramer. My momma will be so proud!!

You're not looking very good for today, Dob...just goes to show how useless short-term predictions can be...

Great News! Word has gotten out about my infallible market prediction prowess and I'm booked to appear on CNBC, Cramer, and Suze Orman next week! Sure, I blew today's market prediction, but they don't care. Seems I have a better track record than most of their guests!

Dob, I need to call my bookie.  What’s your prediction for the Super Bowl, Lions vs. Texans?

Dog-don't forget to write a book.Call Elaine Garzarelli for tips!(She called the 87 crash, rode the celebrity circuit,  developed a crack habit, rest is history)
