    Booyah! Thanks for the show. The IFA.COM website is great! Everybody should look at the 12 Step Program and interesting hypertext linked articles. Have a good vacation!

    A big Upstate New York BOOYAH to ya!
    Have you ever thought about adding Bob Brinker to your list of gurus? I’d like to hear his name come up on the wheel. For over 20 years Mr. Brinker has been touting simple conservative long-term investment techniques like index funds (the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index, to be precise) and acculmulating a mix of no-load Mutual Funds. Give it some thought–love the ‘cast!

    How about a bouquet of Booyah for the Mad Money Machine show and website. I have the perfect spot on my bookshelf awaiting the IFA book. You see, my copies Real Money, Sane Investing in an Insane World and Random Walk Down Wall Street don’t get along too well. Keep up the great show!!!!

  4. BornInZion June 15 2006 @ 11:14 pm

    Booyah Mr. Boyer-
    Haven’t heard MMM26 yet but I’m taking a run at MMM27. Thanks for the encouragement! 😉

  5. Viking133 June 16 2006 @ 1:34 am

    Booyah Paul!

    Love the podcast. Have fun on vacation! 🙂

    A big stuttering … babababaBOOOYAH my good man!

    As I am about to start my first job and get married, I also need to begin sorting through all this investing mumbo-jumbo for the future. guess that I need all the help I can get. Great show, I’ll keep tuning in!

    Great show Paul. Ok, here is my 2 cents and a chance to win the IFA book.

    The first time I heard the word BOOHYA was watching the Outdoor Network on DirectTV covering a professional bass fishing contest. When one of the fishermen would catch a bass they would look at the camera and yell BOOHYA. Not sure if those fishermen watch Mad Money or invest in stocks but they sure looked like they were having fun catching bass.

    The best rules I ever read about when to buy and when to sell in the stock market.

    1. Buy when you have the money.
    2. Sell when you need the money.
    3. Go fishing at all other times.

    Boohya my friend! How about a bear ETF recomendation – I know that there is not one – would be nice…

    Hi, Paul,

    Have a great and no doubt well deserved vacation! Great job on yet another podcast. You’re obviously having waaaaay too much fun doing these! You may be interested to know that the BOOYAH has made it into the Wikipedia! See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Booyah Booyah indeed! For Microspawn’s bear pick I’ve been using the mutual fund URPIX a 2x inverse fund to the S&P 500. Adds some ballast to center the up-and-down swings of the market. Look forward to the next podcast!

    BOO(K)YAH!!!!

    Great show, broke the newbie Cramer spell I was in. I got in in the first week of May for the first time and have been slammed 15%. Good learning experience, I’m now trying to be smarter, and smarter is seeming like being in cash or an index!

  11. heidi59 June 16 2006 @ 8:32 pm

    Booyah Paul!!

    I love your podcast, it is very entertaining and has good information. I esp like the tools of the crib and the gurus! Also, love the great music and sound effects, and your great radio voice makes it so much more enjoyable to listen to, keep up the good work. Have a good vacation.

    Paul, thanks for the amazing podcasts! Like you, I’m getting bored with the stock market these days, so I’m going to give you a “Boo-Yawn” instead of a “Boo-Yah!”
    Keep up the good work. I love the show. It’s a great mix of investment opportunities. I’m keeping my individual stocks in the market for the long haul and am going to stop analyzing for a “timing sell.” I’m sticking with mutual funds and ETFs from here on out!

    Paul, I very much enjoy your podcast and I would be sure to say “boo yah” if I had really made a double; as it is I’ll either need to do some more homework or ? Thanks! Gene

    Thank you all for entering the book contest and for the kind words about the show. Together, maybe we can figure out the best thing to do with our money and all get to financial independence a little quicker.

    I went out to random.org, entered the smallest value of 1, largest value of 13, said generate 1 integer in 1 column and that number is…

    10

    Which corresponds to the id of…

    CONTRATULATIONS! I know the book is going to change your life.

    Thanks again everyone, and I’ll see you when I get back from sunny MYRTLE BEACH.
