Queenie, Thank you for hopefully and mercifully ending this saga. You admitted losing money both by not following some of Brinker's more beneficial advice and from following his terrible advice on the QQQs. Thus paying for his newsletter was of no financial benefit to you since you lost money on both counts.

Further it is obvious and you were careful not to refute my conclusion that Bob brinker's advice in no way allowed you to make the gains you claimed after losing that money following and not following Bob Brinker.

Indeed you claimed you had made many times the losses for that up.

Yet on another site one of your "friends" , the screen name BLB jumped up and down that Brinker led timers with a little better than 16% return for the last 5 years. (oddly that counts the QQQs he bought at 25.00 but leaves out those he bought at 80.00 LOL) Such is the silliness of rating marketimers.

At any rate BLB's jumping up and down "Brinker's Number One" was cut down to size in just a couple sentences by some shrewd poster who wasn't impressed with your "friends" promotion of the Brinkster.

He pointed out that just holding the Vanguard index gave one 16% plus without all of the danger of a Brinker QQQ or a Brinker 88 sell everything debacle. LOL now isn't that funny? The best timer leaving out his bad "idys" can match the index--but that's not including paying him for the rag and certainly not "risk adjusted" hey QQQ biting Queenie?

Now investing in foreign funds as most of the money going into mutual funds did better. But I still can't reconcile any investment vehicle that would have given you "many times" the losses you by being a buy and holder and buying the QQQs. It would have to have done many times better than Brinker and any index I know. I think you would help the board a lot by sharing your secret of such great investing acumen!
