"I don't understand why some feel compelled to exaggerate by calling it (the QQQ call and consequences thereof) a "disaster".

...Queen's unexplained insinuation...

It wasn't an "insinuation"--it was a declarative statement"

Ok--so you think that this is not a disaster for the recipient of this shoddy incompetent, many would say dishonest handling of the advice? We have an advisor calling for a two to four month short term trade for 20% or more gains with up to 1/3 of some believing investor's lifetime accumulated portfolio. The misguided incompetent guru recommends you buy QQQs in the 80s and ACT IMMEDIATELY--then month after month this bozo claims it's a great idea. He will "identify an exit point that makes you "significantly more than 20%" --and continues this all the way down until the QQQs are selling under $20.00/share. He then stops talking about the trade and pretends it did not happen. In his accounting he totally leaves out this up to 1/3 of a portfolio and pretends it did not happen.

Don't know about you but if I were gullible enough to bite on that QQQ bulletin--oh that's right you said you were among the gullible who did and lost money. Oh that's right you also didn't take his advice to lighten up so you lost money in the bear market and lost money on this absolutely disasterous trade of Brinkers.

Well we can agree to disagree as to what constitutes a diaster.

But at least we can agree that you got the worst of all of Brinker's advice. You didn't take his advice that worked and you took his advice that was terrible!!! without QQQuestion. Obviously and unfortunately you made NO MONEY by paying Bob Brinker for a newsletter.

It is obvious that now you don't even try to claim that Brinker had anything to do with this totally impossible innuendo that you left on this board that following Brinker's advice somehow caused you to gain "many times the losses you had between not taking Brinker's Jan 2000 advice and taking his terrible QQQ advice.

You were doing those reading this site and believing that somehow something Brinker recommended caused you to recoup all of those losses you had accumulated while subscribing to his newsletter.

Whether you won the lotto or had a relative die to recoup your losses now we know that you are not claiming Brinker had anything close to the "made it up many times" claim that some thought was due to throwing money at Brinker's newsletter.

I'm glad we have that finally straightened out and no one can believe that Brinker's advice caused you to make these outsized gains after losing lots of money in the bear market and following Brinker's QQQ advice. We don't really care the source of your good fortune. Just don't want anyone to erroniously think there was some magic in the Brinker gains from 2003 that were only market performance.

It's not important that people think Brinker is the worst advisor ever, it's just important they manage their expectations and like you not expect to even recoup the cost of the newsletter. Thanks for the admissions.
