Queen, I suggest you and your Brinker entourage leave the personal attack at the Brinker ranch and talk about facts here.

If you gave your money to Brinker's managed accounts and had them follow the aggressive portfolio, your returns matched the S&P500 from March 2000 to October 2002. I have the data to prove it. They followed the aggressive QQQ advice.

My point was to say Abby "lost her current position as a market prognosticator" at GS for being about as bullish as Brinker and giving similar results.

That is, a real investment firm thought to replace their top market prognosticator for delivering results that were similar to Brinker's results.

"Brinker’s fund selections on average have lagged the market. The HFD reports an 11.5% annualized gain for his “Aggressive” portfolio, which is 0.9 percentage points per year less than what this portfolio would have made if each of its funds were invested in the DJ Wilshire 5000 during the times they were owned. __ March 2008 by Mark Hulbert on Pg 3 of the March 2008 issue of "The Hulbert Financial Digest"

"Please note: In late 2000, Brinker forecasted a several-month bear market rally and recommended an investment in the NASDAQ 100 Index—a trade that turned out quite unprofitably. However, because Brinker at the time of making this forecast chose not to make this trade part of his model portfolios, his HFD record has not suffered as a result." __ March 2008 by Mark Hulbert on Pg 3 of the March 2008 issue of "The Hulbert Financial Digest"

Add the QQQ trade and he loses another 30% from his Aggressive portfolio!

Hulbert says Brinker's BEST PERFORMING portfolio under performs buy and hold BEFORE you account for the QQQ advice. My contention is he would be "replaced" if he worked at GS just like Abby was.

Lets see if you and the Brinker entourage can reply to this without a personal attack.
