It's true that the 9.5% number Brinker gave would apply to a balanced portfolio with only 50% invested on the equity side. However, that was not what the caller was asking. Brinker skillfully turned the callers question into a scolding attack on her that she should have a balanced portfolio thus putting her on the defensive and partially sidestepping the issue of the bum QQQ advice.

It's up to her to decide how much risk she wants to take. If she opts not to have a balanced portfolio that doesn't excuse Brinker's lame QQQ advice. And for Brinker to imply that she had some other agenda only underscores his inability to deal with a losing trade.

Brinkers tone and attitude on this call was totally inappropriate yet, sadly, understandable given his strategy of evade and obfuscate on the QQQ debacle.
