Bob Brinker of "Money Talks" recommends O'Neill book!!

I turned on the radio a few moments ago and heard Bob Brinker, the financial guru, recommending that everyone go out and buy John O'Neill's book!

This man presents himself as an analyst of economic trends and a visionary for the individual investor. He isn't, as far as I know, prone to oddball theories or extravagant claims.

So why is he pimping a book that is a proven pack of lies? Is he so worried that a Republican will not occupy the White House next term that he is now promoting the tissue of fantasy woven by the Swift Boat Liars?

I tried to find his email, but did not succeed. I'm speechless and disgusted.

this isn't anything new.

I haven't heard him lately... but in the last presidential election he was even handed... said that folks on wall street were taking a wait and see attitude - that team bush might bring on deficits (not a positive thing, at the time, on wall street), but that gore et al might be tougher (regulatory/environment wise) on some industries... he left it as a draw in terms of which outcome of that election might be better for investors...

I am rather surprised that he is pushing the O'Niell book. Might be time to call in and suggest that listeners read that OTHER O'Niell... the one more directly related to economics and markets than this one (Paul O'Niell/Suskind)...

the financial community (I was in a planning meeting few years back to discuss ad dollars for the Mutual Fund operation - and the Dolans no longer focus group very well

CNN must have got a deal - plus they made Rove happy with 2 more GOP whores getting face time on CNN.

http://www.kgoam810.com/contactus.asp (on now) It shows his picture ,but he's not on the list- pick comments and feedback, I suppose.

I'd hope he was recommending the earlier Ron Suskind book on Paul O'Neill's WH experiences. 'cause what the h-e-double-toothpicks does John O'Neill's book have to do with economics?

it would seem that the Paul O'Neill book (with WSJ writer Ron Suskind) would have more information directly of interest to investors.

Ron Susskind/Paul O'Neill's The Price of Loyalty on the air before...and that has a LOT to do with economics.
It should have been subtitled "How To Piss Away Trillions In One Term".

Didn't he recommend the QQQ's in the 70's range and well they aren't close to that now. If you want some decent advice try www.hahnscorner.com
It's $20 a month but he has some good ideas and his wife does the charting and is very good. Richard is a conservative but a REAL conservative and he's totally onto what is going on. Many of the articles we see posted here he posts at his site. He can be tin foil hatt-ish sometimes but he will keep money safe.

I don't understand it, but I remember when Bush first got in, Brinker thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. If Brinker thinks this is the best the economy can do, then I won't be listening to any more of his advice.

I heard him just a a couple of months ago, when the Bush Administration was touting their... umm... "good" economic numbers. He was talking about how he knew everything would pick up with Bush's tax cuts eventually, and how all the "nay sayers" were hoping for economic failure.

However, in recent weeks I heard him insisting that Clinton be given credit for the good economy under his watch. He pointed out the deficit reduction, GATT, NAFTA and the other economic initiatives that Clinton supported. When callers tried to dispute this, he sent them packing.

So that is another reason why I was so astonished to hear him pushing O'Neill's book.
I wish his program were archived so I could go back and listen to it properly. There just seem to be inconsistencies in these positions.
