I didn't listen to very much of the program last weekend but I find it interesting that he's still getting calls about QQQ nearly 5 years later. All that Brinker will say on the subject is "we were wrong". I've heard this from him about 4 times now, twice on air, once in the newsletter and once at a public appearance. It's a little amusing to hear one of the calls on the subject because you get a sense of how hard Brinker tries to screen out these calls.

Frankly, I'm tired of hearing it. It says nothing and it just gives the impression he's trying to skirt the issue. Obviously, he was wrong and we don't need him telling us.

What he should have done was spend about an hour on the program going over what decisions led to the bad call, what he learned from it, what he would do differently next time and why he abandoned the trade and his followers. I really wish he had just been honest about the whole thing. That would have soothed much of the distrust that's apparently still out there.
