"Was Bob's QQQ call a great call? Of course not. It was an absolutely horrible call. But those who followed both the Jan. 2000 call AND the QQQ call came out all right."

That's true. Kirk estimated that the most aggressive commitment to the QQQ recommendation would have reduced Portfolio I by about 25%, and I think his methodology is reasonable. That would reduce the reported gain for 12/31/1999 to 7/31/2006 from 67.6% to 25.7%. SPY with dividends included lost 4.2% during that same period.

The total balance for Portfolio I on 12/31/1999 was shown as $136,620 in the January 2000 Marketimer.
