Math...what I don't understand is why you try to defend the indefensible. You even claim things for Brinker that he never had the nerve to claim for himself. The following are the facts which the "permanent record" proves: 1) October 2000: Brinker sent the "Act Immediately" bulletin. 2) November 2000: Brinker recommended the exact percentage of model portfolio cash reserves that aggressive and conservative investors should put into QQQQ. 3) November 2000: Brinker said that HE would not be include this "used" cash reserves in the model portfolios from which it came. 4) November 2000: Brinker claimed this was a "short-term trade" and promised to give "follow-up guidance" until the trade was closed. 5) January 2000: Brinker issued another market "countertrend" call and repeated his "buy-QQQQ" recommendation. 6) March 2000: Brinker issued another market "countertrend" call and repeated his "buy-QQQQ" recommendation. 7) Here is the "rest of the story" as assembled by ACousins: April 2001 Marketimer; QQQ=$37.40; "We expect the Nasdaq Composite and Nasdaq 100 index to stage a significant recovery over the next several months." .

July 5, '02; QQQ=$26.34: "We continue our policy of not selling into weakness, and recommend those with a position in Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) shares hold for higher prices during the next cyclical bull market." . August 8, '02 QQQ=$22.25 : "We are maintaining our hold rating on nasdaq 100 (QQQ) shares..." . September 2, '02; QQQ=$23.49; "We are maintaining our hold rating on nasdaq 100 (QQQ) shares in anticipation of much higher prices for the shares in the next cyclical bull market. .
