I know you didn't ask me, Mr. Pigstuff, but when did that ever stop me from answering? LOL!
I think that Bob Brinker is probably honest and trustworthy where his personal life is concerned. I'm sure that he treats his family well and probably never stole a paper clip or a candy bar.
But--the big one. Professionally speaking, I think that he became obsessed with greed over the years after 1987-1999. During these years, he was making money on his newsletter without resorting to subterfuge. He even managed to recover from a fairly sizeable blunder when he missed the 1987 crash and then went 100% cash while the market recouped a lot its losses.
But when he made the QQQQ-calls in October, November, December of 2000 and January, February, March, April, May, June of 2001 and it went drastically against him, he may have feared losing current and future subscribers.
He then chose to take the low-road (IMO) and cover this all up, while using the "ploy" of not discussing his market views on the radio, and at the same time repeatedly announcing his newsletter. All rather smarmy, isn't it?
