<<Even so, you seem to have missed a few of his really bad calls:

* Brinker completely missed October 1987 Black Monday>>

--Well, it's almost the 20th anniversary of that one. Are you going to continue bringing it up even after it is no longer part of his 20-year record?

Do you think it you go back 20 years you can find any errors by Buffett? LOL

If you are analyzing a mutual fund manager, how pertinent to you think it would be if you found he had a real bad year 20 or 21 years ago?

<<* Brinker predicted a stock market "countertrend rally" in October, 2000 that never materialized.

* Brinker predicted a stock market "countertrend rally" in January, 2001 that never materialized.

* Brinker predicted a stock market "countertrend rally" in March, 2001 that never materialized.>>

--Do you really think it's legitimate to label each one of those a separate error? I personally think any objective person would consider them all part of one disastrous call.

Do you understand why someone might think you are going out of your way to find things to criticize?

Do you think it's really fair or legitimate to count each one of those as an error, while at the same time ignoring all of the successful gift-horse calls?


<<And Math Junkie, shall we talk about his most recent "wrong" buying opportunities that he gave this March and July?>>

--Hmmmm. Strange. You have the exact same misconception about these calls as my blonde basher friend. Maybe you've been spending too much time at her basher blog, where she is free to erase any post she doesn't like.
