On today’s show, a caller asked for help refi-ing her mobile home and your guest said that he knew someone who could help. I was wondering if there were anyway to ask for this contact?

Thank you!

You are really getting to be very irritating. I used to love your informative show but lately you talk over your guests and interrupt them while they are talking. Case in point. the gentleman you had on today talking about TVs. Play a tape of your show and you will see how irritating you were.4/30/2012

Bob-I love your show and listen every morning-I would have loved to speak to the person you had on this morning regarding the Keep Your Home California Program, but I don’t think you were taking calls…or maybe I missed it. There’s a reason they have all that money and it’s not because people don’t know about the program or don’t need the assistance. Like all the other homeowner assistance programs out there right now, there is something wrong with their process and the people handling the process. I hope you will ask them about this. I love your show Bob-keep asking these people the difficult questions and force them to help people!!!

I caught a little bit earlier this week (3/12/2012 – 3/15/2012) with a guest talked about a program for non-profits being eligible to receive a car – possibly a toyota, Can you send me the link to find out more information for that as I work for a non-profit.
Thank you so much

Hi Bob, I was listening on 2/22 and Ken Whalens said that all Preferred stocks pay even if they suspend the dividend temporarily. That is not true, only Cumulative preferreds do. Most new issues can suspend the dividend by vote, just like they declare the dividend. A good example of this is the BofA preferred H. Anyway just wanted to make sure the right info is out there for the public. Thanks for your show! Lynn

Have had a financial fiasco using a financial planner through a well known company, which also has an insurance arm. We paid the financial planner a yearly fee. He recommended Variable Universal LIfe policy, based on his less than thorough analysis, but he made a huge commission. Insurance company accepts no blame. With all the boomers out there doing retirement and estate plans, would be good if you could sound a big warning to consumers. I’d be happy to share details of my story, but it is bigger than my own problem.

I was listening to your show yesterday, Dec 12, and you had a doctor on (I believe he was a doctor), talking about a diet in which one should eat during the first 12 hours of our day and that the largest meal should be 6 hrs upon rising. Please advise the name of the book and the author’s name. Your response would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bob:
You mentioned the name of a web site recently that allows you to determine whether the price of something is likely to go down more in the future. A friend is looking for a new Mac computer and is wondering what the best time to buy it is.

Thanks for all the great work that you do!
