Looks like Brinker is beginning the "final solution" for his QQQ call of 2000. As we know Brinker sent the ACT IMMEDIATELY bulletin recommending precise amounts for all types of investors to load up on QQQs--up to 1/3 of an entire portfolio. We know that he never had any suitablity advice, risk discussion, price, date or exit strategy on that bulletin. In reading the bulletin there is no way a reader could have known that the advice was outside the model portfolios.

The money that was to be used was from the sales of portfolio money in January 2000 and had been in "cash reserves"

We know that month after month as the QQQs plummeted, Brinker urged followers to keep the faith and that that prosperity in those QQQs was right around the corner.

Alas he was wrong and they fell to 19 and change from the 80 plus level in Oct 2000 when subscribers recieved that bulletin.

He has NEVER CLOSED OUT THE ACT IMMEDIATELY advice. Indeed he added large amounts of QQQQs to each portfolio in March 2003 for the first time ever, neatly covering his tracks. It seems the "$80 Qs" were slickly hidden from view with "$25 Qs". Of course to do this with the "cash reserves" from 2000 would have meant that the ACT IMMEDIATELY advice was not followed, because it was never closed out. A subscriber could not invest the same money twice. Brinker's accounting pretends the bulletin was never sent.

This month they say Brinker has begun removing the QQQQs from his portfolios, entirely from one portfolio and greatly reducing it in the others. I look for Brinker to continue and remove the last of the QQQs from mention in his newsletter. Then the line will be. "What QQQQs? The only QQQQs Bob ever had were the onese he bought in March 2003 at 25 and sold em in the 40s. Go BOB BOB BOB!!

I call this strategy the 4 H strategy. 1) HYPE 2)Hold 3) Hope 4) HIDE

Perhaps someone can correct me if Brinker ever closed out this position that used the cash reserves his performance claims where only used in March 2003.

SUBSCRIBER BULLETIN
FROM MARKETIMER

MARKETIMER is projecting a significant countertrend rally which is expected to be led by the Nasdaq 100 Index. We expect this rally to persist over a period of approximately 2-4 months, and to generate Nasdaq gains in excess of 20% from the vicinity of the recently established Nasdaq closing low point.

We view this projected Nasdaq rally as a significant trading opportunity for MARKETIMER subscribers seeking potential short-term capital gains. Our clear vehicle of choice for this opportunity is the Nasdaq 100, which is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol QQQ.

We recommend MARKETIMER subscribers with aggressive objectives invest 30% to 50% of existing CASH RESERVES in the QQQ shares in order to exploit this opportunity. Also, we recommend subscribers with conservative investment objectives invest 20% to 30% of CASH RESERVES in the QQQ shares in order to take advantage of this opportunity.

MARKETIMER will provide follow up guidance for this short-term opportunity in regular monthly editions, and, if necessary, in follow up bulletins.

We recommend subscribers interested in taking advantage of this recommendation act immediately.
