Oh Queenie, I assure you that anyone who contemplates buying a newsletter from Bob Brinker finds your testimony very interesting. Now you said that you did not take Brinker's advice to reduce your stock market allocation and lost more than 10X as much as you did when you took the advice Brinker gave you to buy QQQs around 80 bucks and took less of a loss than those subscribers who believed Bob Brinker's words in his newsletter. When I said that you could not possibly have gained financially by subscribing to Brinker's newsletter from 2000 to now. (Btw once you said you were not sure if you were subscribing to Bob Brinker's newsletter in Jan 2000 or not--another time you were sure you did not--but you began with a claim that one of the reasons you didn't take his advice in Jan 2000 is because you were "out of state". You compounded this strange group of statements with a claim of what Brinker was supposed to have said that was very beneficial to subscribers in the Dec. 99 newsletter --though first you weren't sure and then you were positive that you didn't subscribe to Brinker's newsletter until after Jan 2000--though again you began your claim of not acting on his Jan newsletter because you were "out of state". But I pointed out and gave the stats that you could have followed Brinker's advice any month of the the year in 2000 and not have suffered at all--indeed you were more likely to sell out higher than Brinker's January call on many if not most occasions throughout the entire year. You did not--but you claim to have been subscribing through much of that year. You recieved the ACT IMMEDIATELY bulletin and ACTED . Wisely you didn't follow all of Brinker's advice on this loser and sold out before the QQQs fell from 80$$ plus to under 20.00 with Brinker advocating holding on all the way down. When I characterized the role of Bob Brinker's newsletter in your equity investing as "the worst of both worlds"--you took great issue. Yet we have you on record as having stubbornly not taken his advice to lighten up on equities and gullibly biting on his QQQ ACT IMMEDIaTELY advice. How in the world could Bob Brinker's newsletter have aided you in the equity investing performance over this time when you took all the losses of the bear market and added extra losses with the QQQ trade? You have not explained that. Then the real stumper. You claimed to have made all of those losses up "many times over". Now if you are talking about having taken that huge loss that you admitted to and lamented about by not following Bob Brinker's January call and then having compounded it with the QQQ losses and having that same money somehow magically generate returns that gained back those losses "many times over"...it defies credibility. Yet the impression you gave is that is exactly what happened since this is a thread about Bob Brinker and you said that I was wrong in saying you lost money during the time you subscribed to Brinker's newsletter-thus wasting 185 bucks a year and investing in a rather bizzare fashion. But logic tells us that what you claim is impossible unless you are simply adding monies to the account that you lost you assets in following and not following Bob Brinker. There is NO WAY possible for you to have made many times the amount you lost in the manner you claim from the original monies. But this is indeed the most telling discourse I have seen in the history of Bob Brinker on the net. His chief promoter on several threads has admitted to not profiting from his recommendations and or has some mystical claim that money appeared in the account 'many times over'. It could not have happened in a conventional investment program following Bob Brinker over the period we are talking about. Thanks for showing the way one has to shade reality to make Bob Brinker a hero. :)
