I have to say that was a good post, even though I obviously have made different choices than you. I admit that there are legitimate criticisms of Brinker, but somehow I am not able to get past the fact that the overall market's flatness and the NASDAQ's weakness since last winter will represent a huge change from previous performance, unless we get a decisive turnaround by the end of the year. He was a couple of months early, but it will still amount to a stunning achievement, unless he blows it and totally misses the bottom.

I have not followed the four per cent guideline either. I believe he espouses this because some of his less sophisticated listeners have put huge percentages of their portfolios into some stock that he mentioned, and then gotten scared out on a dip. I have a higher risk tolerance than that, and in any case would never blame him if I got burned by overconcentration in a stock or industry.
