Octavian said to the poster now posting under the alias of InvesTing:

--Right. But not everyone remembers all those details like you, I and other fanatics do.

Only partly right, octavian. I remember the general trends, I just don't remember the numbers exactly. But I know darn well I lost more of my portfolio by not following Brinker's January call than I ever lost on the QQQ (I say QQQ because that's what it was at the time). I remember that the market continued up for a couple of months after Brinker's January call to convert to cash. I believe I heard that he actually said something about that earlier in December to his subscribers before he announced it on the air. Could it be that he believes his subscribers deserve that kind of heads up before the general public?

Anyway, by the time I heard about it, I thought it was too late and all the brokers and advisors around here and all over were saying "it'll come back, it'll come back". At that point I thought it was too late and I was too inexperienced and yes, too indecisive to do anything...well, decisive. My fault.

But yes, I know darn well I lost ten times as much by not following Brinker's conversion to cash call than I ever did on the QQQ. My fault, no one else's.

And how would all of our armchair experts know more about my gains and losses than I do, I wonder?
