Merry Christmas to all!!
_____
For those who are trying to figure out what they would like to give to Bob Brinker for Christmas, here is a nice list that many have compiled for you:
Jeffchristie sent this comprehensive and totally suitable 8^) list of his own:
Here are my top 10 ideas for Christmas gifts to Bob Brinker.
1. A carton of cigarettes (Non filtered).
2. A box of cigars.
3. A subscription to the Limbaugh letter and Rush 24/7.
4. An autographed copy of Sarah Paylin's book (Going Rogue).
5. A copy of Jim Cramers latest Book (Getting back to even).
6. A don't blame me. I voted for Ron Paul T-shirt.
7. Hire Elaine Garzarelli to fill in the next time Bob wants to take the weekend off.
8. A replica of Bernie Madoff's Mets Jacket.
9. An autographed photo of George W. Bush.
10 One of the pens Bill Clinton used to sign the repeal of the Glass Steagall act.
Merry Christmas to all.
PS. I am sure Mr. Pig would feel that "A lump of coal" is too good of a brew to waste on Brinker as a Christmas gift.

DanG: New Crystal Ball
Honey: New Timing Model (the old one evaporated in October 2008).
East Coast:
A new real estate broker in Las Vegas
Interesting guests for the last hour who will not contradict his ideas
Guest hosts who will give qualified advice
Guest hosts who will not contradict Brinker's ideas
How about a "gift horse buying opportunity" when cash is actually held on the sidelines!
Frank J: Crystal ball, Ouija board, dice, a coin to flip for yes/no decisions, a couple of new independent variables for the timing model.
Mr Pig (possibles): A clue (Santa notice: not coal)
Digital camera (need current picture, not one from the 80's. Please wear clown outfit.)
Kirk:
How about a company stock plan that doesn't go bankrupt making your shares and options worthless?

Honey here:
Mr. Pig pointed out that Santa may need assistance so that he can tell which Bob Brinker he is giving gifts to, so I would like to tell Santa to bring (the Jr) Bob Brinker a pair of round-nosed children scissors. Jr might want to cut the apron strings sometime before he's fifty -- which is coming very soon. Just kidding, Bob Jr. err, I mean Bob Brinker....Merry Christmas! 8^)
The always helpful Mr. Pig, found this very apropos Moneytalk Tree:
BobR spotted a couple of Santa's deer resting up in a secret location for the arrival of the big evening tomorrow.
While these beauties may not be part of Santa's actual reindeer team, word has it they are valued assistants in charge of seeing that Rudolph's nose is shining brightly and that Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen are all brushed down, horns polished, and ready to fly.
