    Thanks for doing this Q&A, Ned.

    There's been speculation recently that the recent results from the online brokerages might lead to consolidation. See for example this view from Barron's.

    What's your view of the potential for consolidation in the online brokerage sector? Who would it make most sense for?

    Here is my suggestion for your book title, Bill:

    "Turning Large Fortunes Into Small Ones," by Bill Cara.

    Kindly point out where I have "libeled" you. Stating facts, such as my recounting of your disastrous investment suggestions, is not libel. Neither is recounting my opinions about your lack of investing skill. But if there are factual errors which you believe I have made, I stand ready to review them and make changes.

    But I don't expect you to respond substantively - I only expect you to call me "loser," "idiot," or some other juvenile insult which you so excel in making against people who factually expose your poor track record of market analysis, such as your June 2006 prediction of immediate market meltdown on the order of minus 20%. (Of course, the S&P 500 went up 12% from there, meaning you were only off by a whopping 32%. That's the bad news. The worse news is that if people had heeded your advice in June 2006 their losses would probably have been even worse.)

    Details of your terrible advice are recounted here:

    Care to explain yourself without your usual result to name-calling and insult?
