Here's a chart for the long-departed The Banker - Toll Brothers


Note that Bob Toll and his evil brother bailed out in July - September, to the tune of $100,000,000+.

Remember when The Banker used to troll this board, saying he was buying up Toll Brothers and the other builders? Guess he killed himself...

The Banker doesn't type much since he burned his fingers on the fry machine.

i recommend all go take a look at insider transactions of TOL...Robert Toll tells the story himself...he's sold over $600 million in stock in the last 18 months...

Keith -

How come you pump, pump, pump Gold and Oil.......but when it is time to sell you say nothing? If you are going to pump, you gotta let us know when to dump (and not just in a paltry comment either).

I got killed in Gold and Oil this week

then why does he have a link to buy gold still up on his site?

If you had listened to The Thinker you would not have lost money in gold.

I bought gold too starting at 580, and along the way to 700.. but not because Keith said to buy :)

I'm holding as long as gold stays above 600. For the long haul, I think it will rebound. remains to be seen.

it was said the ride into PM could get gut wrenching.

Gold will go to 4K in 5 years and silver 250.

Maybe much much more.

I have'nt lost too much on gold yet, but I'll admit I was shocked to see keith sold his gold already, without a warning.

uh, he bought low and sold high - not a bad play - and I use that link at the top to check prices

he said he's getting back in after it corrects - been spot on so far

Shorted TOL at $34.04....placed a limit order for 50 put option contracts this weekend but it didn't execute today because the stock tanked...that pissed me off. I gotta find a way to pay for my wedding somehow...damn fiancee spending all my dough!

It's not Keiths fault you were to stupid to put a trailing stop loss of say 5% on your gold. I think gold and silver are still in a long term uptrend, but Im not stupid enough to fight the market to prove Im right.

Let the market take you out, and let the market put you back in, your never smarter than the market.

This is in response to the question, "Why don't we like realtors?". My own personal experiences-
1) Using a realtor in colorado who assured me that the house I was buying could be added onto. (I was very young and stupid at the time, did not check myself) Bought the house, and found out the septic tank regulations would not allow this. Lost money selling house, and paying another realtor comission.
2) Bought a condo, and was advised against a home inspection by a realtor (new construction with warrenty). The condo had structural and management problems. While living there, a meth lab was discovered on the premesis (sp?), and our homeowner's insurance was used to renovate unit, and give a discount to the brother of the developer, who is also a mortgage broker, who bought it at a discount. When I put my unit up for sale. Other realtors did not disclose a rise in homeowner's dues, to the new owners, until the day of closing. I disclosed immediately, and my buyers walked. We barely broke even on that deal after 3 years of hell. (Also, I had to deal with my realtor raising her voice to me over several lost deals, when all I was doing was being honest, and disclosing things)
3) When my husband bought his house, his realtor steared him to a FHA loan with higher fees, and PMI that we couldn't get rid of, no matter what (we finally refinanced into a 15).
Realtors have an obligation to be honest, and also to educate buyers. This has not been my experience.
The next house I buy, I'm sure I'll be up in the rafters, inspecting the wiring and plumbing myself. I'm sure I'll be looking at framing, and under eaves. It's too bad so few can be trusted in the real estate biz.

You are headed for a disaster. think she will stop after marriage (and that she will not get fat either)?

The Banker is reading these posts silently, or posting anon. He won't come back since he's been exposed as a Fidelity manager. BTW, Fidelity is one of the biggest fund companies in the world, but they are better at marketing than managing money, which is why the banker, last time he posted, bragged about the total dollar value of the assets he manages, and not about his investment returns. This reveals the mindset of a company bent on gathering assets through marketing, instead of through superior investment performance.

If you can't flush put the banker, I will say it.

TIME TO SELL THE GRAVEL PITS AND BRICK YARDS AND BUY BACK INTO TOLL BROTHERS
