As has been demonstrated many times here, you are either lying or too stupid to understand what we've explained to you many times over the years. I'm probably insane to keep tying to explain it to you.

If they aren't lying, please explain how they claim to have lost "tons of money" and "fortunes."
Of course, you won't, because they didn't tell you.


Here is just one of many stories I get via email.

Just the past week I got note from a named partner of a law firm in a major US city saying he "lost over a million dollars following Brinker" along with a check to renew my newsletter. He said he was keeping some newsletters, including mine, but not Brinker's.

Given you told us you live in a rental in a city full of rentals for low paid hospitality workers who often spend all they make gambling, (ie rent is cheap where you live,) I doubt you can say a million dollars is not a fortune to you.

He didn't blame Brinker for his loss but I got the impression he subscribed to my newsletter for individual stock advice and my commentary and to others for what they offer. I'm guessing but he may have used Brinker's newsletter to decide how bullish a core portfolio he wanted to use... Brinker's newsletter is only useful for overall market timing advice which has been a bust riding a bear market down 47% from the top fully invested. Brinker's conservative portfolio #3 was more bullish at the top (66% equities at 1565) than at the bottom (808 in 2003) when it was 50% equities. For all we know, he may have taken Brinker's advice for P2 which is 100% equities.... not something I ever recommend but that is how Brinker gets the decent ratings.... loads of risk with high equity percentage for anyone not retired.
