I added Brinker's portfolio 2.
Also made minor corrections to results of portfolio 1 based on comments from my auditor <g>

Re: All this conjecture about how good or bad Brinker's recent calls have made me curious too.

I ran 3 variations for each of Brinker's portfolios 1 & 2 for comparison

Brinker describes Portfolio 1, as...aggressive growth....investors seeking max returns ... high risk and volatility....
and
Portfolio 2 as for investors with long term growth objectives...seek to enhance value of capital...assume reasonable level of diversified market risk...

Portfolio 1 - 100% in stocks. This portfolio assumes all the stocks in Brinker's portfolio 1 prior to January 2000 were held until today. All dividends reinvested.

Portfolio 1A - Brinker's new portfolio 1 from January 2000 newsletter after raising cash reserves now 40% stock, 60 cash; raised 5% additional cash 8/2/00 now 35% stock and 65% cash; then on 10/12/00, half of cash put into QQQ's for "Counter Trend Rally 2" (maximum of 30% to 50% range recommended by Brinker for aggressive investors). Dividends reinvested. Cash in Vanguard Prime Reserve MMF.

Portfolio 1B - same as 1A except no investment in QQQ for CTR2

Portfolio 2 was evaluated in a similar manner as portfolio 1 except that for 2A, 30% of available cash was put into QQQ's (Brinker had recommended 30-50% for aggressive investors and 20-30% for conservative investors)

Results as of 4/12/01 based on a start date of 1/5/00

Port 1 -26.5%
Port 1A -18.6%
Port 1B -3.5%

Port 2 -20.8%
Port 2A -12.3%
Port 2B -2.7%

NASDAQ Comp -49.4%
S&P 500 -15.6%

I haven't run Brinker's portfolio 3 (balanced portfolio).
But I guesstimate the results
Port 3 Probably about break even?
Port 3A + 3%
Port 3B + 6%
Would be interesting to see how this has done.
