Re; Buy immediately at 83 vs 75 1/8 benchmark for Brinker's call on CTR 2

Excellent summary of the different views.

I do think that the appropriate benchmark for Brinker's CTR 2 call is 75 1/8. The 20% + potential move was clearly referenced against the "recent closing low" which was the 75 1/8 price.

I agree that he should have stated this number in the bulletin. This was a mistake, it would have been simple for him to reference the price.

That said, I have a hard time understanding why someone would buy at the market without respect to price, especially on a short term trade in a volatile security.

To me the opportunity was for a potential 20% gain relative to the QQQ price of 75 1/8. So to me the potential was for the price to go to 90. I would not have bought at 83 when my opportunity was less than a 9% gain with increased risk.

For someone who bought at 83 (or higher as some have said) I think they should take responsibility for the losses down to 75 1/8. Brinker can be blamed for the rest, and that's a lot.

Best wishes
