I could ask you to calculate into Brinker's record the large percentage one of his former subscribers told me he lost holding Lucent all the way down from $60 to $2 because of a decade of Brinker saying how great Lucent was on the radio and how much he made on the stock since it's IPO at $6 and change.... but I won't since that was not a recommendation bought with cash reserves that his subscribers were told to "keep liquid" in money funds (not GNMAs) so they could act quickly when told.

This is the first time I have ever seen you claim that an "off the books" recommendation should be ignored because he didn't tell people where to raise the cash. It seems awfully convenient. Can you point to any examples where you made that argument before the QQQQ argument came up? For example, did you ever argue that UTEK should be ignored for that reason, or STII?

Whether he told people where to raise the cash or not is irrelevant. If one were to try to construct a record based on his radio recommendations, then any Lucent buy recommendations should be factored into it.

If a newsletter writer writes his letter in such a way as to tell half to stay in cash and half to buy a high beta security such as QQQQ, then is he honest to report ONLY the favorable results?

For the zillionth time, HE SHOULD BE REPORTING BOTH!
