Sorry Richard, you're still not getting the point. Brimelow has written three articles that I know of about Bob. Even in his most recent article, he has continued his original conclusion that Brinker's subscribers can't read properly. I referred to his original Forbes article because IMO Brimelow still hasn't come to what I think is the proper conclusion about this entire mess.

He is getting closer to understanding it but only after getting more facts. (Why he was writing commentary without the facts in the first place is a head scratcher.) IMO, when he gets all the facts he has the ability (though maybe not the will, after all he's in the financial profession) to come to the proper conclusion.

The reality is Brimelow was wrong in his original article. He's still wrong but less so. One of these days he may actually be right. It shouldn't be up to his readers though to make him right. He's a journalist and he should have done more DD and digging.

"It was because Hulbert caught the fact that QQQ had not been put in Brinker's model portfolio published in the letter subsequent to the Special Alert that he sold it out, and didn't take any more loss. Quite obviously, most readers and listeners are not so systematic."

Hulbert smart, Brinker gets a pass because it wasn't in his model portfolios, subscribers idiots.

OK, so he doesn't come right out and say idiots but his implication is clear to me. He has said it over the course of 8 months in 3 articles. Basically his admonition is not that Brinker's advice was incompetent but that his subscribers took too much risk because they didn't understand Brinker properly.
