I must be writing really unclearly, because you seem to be having a lot of trouble understanding what my opinion is. So I am going to try to make it as clear as I can:
If I am right that the above is his line of reasoning, then you are right that it is an alibi on his part. If I approved of that line of reasoning, then it would be my alibi on his behalf, but I don't approve of it, and that is why I stated what he should have done that he didn't do. In my opinion, if that was indeed his thinking, then he should have explicitly stated, at the time of the April recommendation, that it also applied to the shares purchased in 2000 - 2001, and he should have explicitly acknowledged it in last weekend's call. Otherwise it was just more of the coverup.
"Brinker was being very disingenuous with the caller on the air who specifically asked about the 5 yr old QQQs. He cut the caller off and yammered twice that he "reduced" the QQQQ allocation 'in our model portfolios in April;' clearly wanting to stop the conversation about his off the books disaster and make people think that he had only QQQs in the model portfolios and was a genius in handling the QQQs."
I totally agree with you on that.
"You agree that Brinker has demonstrated a total lack of integrity on this issue-but can't resist giving a much more pure slant to his motives (you guessed he wanted people to sell the same % of his off the books QQQs)."
I disagree that there is anything even remotely pure about that, given that, if I am right, he was trying to get credit for giving guidance on the 2000 - 2001 QQQQ holdings without admitting that they even existed.
"I'd bet you would say.
'Now my guess would be that she is going looking for you so she could give you your wallet'."
No, I would say something comparable to what I said about Brinker, e.g., "The honest thing for her to do would be to admit that she took the wallet."
"Off that topic, my comment to the 'new poster' about your 5,000 posts and Brinker's own tally under his alias here was to show him how desperate and illogical he was in his stalking and harassing. I have fewer posts than any of the players here and his point was ridiculous. I could care less how many posts people make. The guy making that one has been busy for years as well. :)"
