"I think he said 3 to 1--he tripled the market return!" Do you know what the numbers are or are you going to hedge on this also? Also, if it is something like 45% vs 15% over a period Brinker advertises he got out at the top and back in at the bottom... it is hardly much at all, especially after taxes. It is easier to beat a benchmark when you ignore the first 13 years of under performance and only count the last 7 years when you've done well which is what this analysis since 2000 does. Triple the market return over a fairly short period vs 17 years is a rather large "mistake" but I'll concede you simply spoke about something you didn't understand rather than lied. Mark this down.. I was WRONG... you didn't lie. You simply stated something as true that wasn't and were wrong. I guess what bugs the heck out of me about you is you speak in absolutes as if You KNOW for a fact something is true... But when we investigate, usually you make terrible errors that favor Brinker and terrible errors or outright lies that put others, such as myself, in a bad light. Thus, your credibility is about zero when it comes to Brinker and his critics.
