Thanks Henry.

That follows exactly with what was described on Honey's thread as to Brinker's ratings. He obviously is guilty of lying in his newsletter about his being ranked number 1 by Hulbert. That is disgusting frankly and goes right along with what I have observed.

Indeed it seems the only one of many areas that Brinker ranks well in is the "risk adjusted performance". I seem to recall that you were first attracted by that trait seeing that he weathered the 2000-2002 (by deceptive tactics) better than some others.

Of course the whole premise is a sham because in Oct 2000 Brinker sent that QQQ bulletin urging conservative and aggressive subscribers to "Act Immediately" for the opportunity of "up to 20% or more gains in two to four months" saying nothing about this was not to be part of his portfolios. So he had people using 13% to 32.5% of an entire equity portfolio to buy 80 plus $ QQQs. He NEVER CLOSED OUT THAT position.

So if his total advice was reflected accurately his performance in the risk adjusted columns would obviously plummet.

What would possess a person selling a newsletter to lie about it being # 1 by a ratings service when it is not? How would one trust such a person?
