Actually Math I think you bring up some great topics for discussion.

While claiming to find some irony in Honey's post; I would love to know what you think Brinker would say about another advisor who would do the following. We know what a tough grader Brinker was under the alias you said you were 100% sure was Bob Brinker on this site. We know how nasty Brinker could be about others who made mistakes in recommending bad investments.

1) What do you think Brinker would say about a financial advisor who told a caller to take 1/2 of the money he took out of the market and buy a security trading in the 80s. He tells this caller to hold on to that security every month after that in his written word....until a couple years later...when he says to invest all the money he holds in cash and pretends that he never made the previous call to buy the security trading three times higher than on the latter call?

Would he tell the caller he had been the victim of a shark attack or would he tell the victim that was acceptable behavior?

2) What do you think Brinker would do if a caller asked him about an advisor who had told him there was only one stock that he listed as a "buy" . He did this repeatedly in his newsletter month after month. Much later the caller finds out that the advisor was in a finanical relationship with the company he had listed as his only buy...without ever disclosing his financial ties to that company?

Both of these caller's stories seem like something Brinker would have described as a shark attack. Do you disagree?
