"Math...what I don't understand is why you try to defend the indefensible.
I don't. As I said several days ago to InvesTing, "I still believe that Brinker should be reporting the results of his QQQ recommendation along with his other recommendations. I just disagree with you about how he should go about it."
What's happening is that I have been making true statements about what he put down in black and white, and you for some reason have been objecting to that.
"You even claim things for Brinker that he never had the nerve to claim for himself.
I claim that he publishes his recommendations for what should be in his model portfolios on page eight of every issue, which is true. I claim that any subscriber who wants to follow those recommendations has to sell anything they have that is not listed, and buy anything they don't have that is listed, which is true. Those claims are consistent with Brinker's published results.
If you had been in the investments recommended in Brinker's model portfolios before 10/2000, intended to continue doing so, and bought some QQQ based on the bulletin which didn't say whether the model portfolios were participating, are you saying that when you read the November issue, you would not have realized that it would be necessary to sell QQQ if you wanted to continue being in the investments recommended in Brinker's model portfolios?
Sorry, Honey, I refuse to believe that you are stupid, and I doubt that Brinker's subscribers are that stupid either.
The only thing I claim for Brinker that he never claimed for himself is that he should be reporting the results of the QQQ trade.
BTW, here are some corrections to your list:
"2) November 2000: Brinker recommended the exact percentage of model portfolio cash reserves that aggressive and conservative investors should put into QQQQ."
He didn't give the exact percentage, he gave a range of percentages.
"3) November 2000: Brinker said that HE would not be include [sic] this [sic] 'used' cash reserves in the model portfolios from which it came."
The used cash reserves only came from model portfolios for those subscribers who were following a model portfolio. |
