Yes, it is similar to averaging a newsletter writer who says "buy X" to half his clients and says "sell x" to the other half. It is not a flaw as it prevents some writers like Brinker from having so many portfolios that they can always advertise one that is doing well... I remember Brinker saying how well his fixed income portfolio was doing on the radio in 2002. I had a laugh that Hulbert lets him off the hook by not averaging that one yet Brinker can still advertise how well it is doing. Bob is getting smart and started a new newsletter for fixed income investing... so those portfolios won't get averaged into his others.

If you subscribe to Hulbert's newsletter, he does break it down by model portfolio twice a year so you do have the overall data available for what is now quite a list of Brinker portfolios. Of course, many of the other newsletters do much better... when their conservative portfolios are not averaged...
