Who are all of these people? And why is that when anyone discusses Bob Brinker's record there is a diversion to other people?

That is what attracted me to this site over a decade ago. I have seen nothing like it since Jim Jones followers executed his critics and drank the Kool-Aid.

Some people like Brinker and seem able to discuss his good and bad points without lying, attacking how you make a living or when all else fails, making personal attacks. Others can not, they attack his critics, lie about them and worse. the oddest thing is some seem to think how you invest your own money matters when discussing the quality of advice Brinker give on the radio, in a paid newsletter or when managing large amounts of money for a fee up to 2% a year.

Some, such as this Octavian creep, make things up about Brinker and his critics for some odd reason. The idea that Hulbert only tracks the "best" market timers is nonsense. Hulbert tracks newsletter writers with a large following so he can sell his service to those who buy newsletters. The best market timer I know is "Ground Zero" who posts here on SI and on facebook but he is not followed by Hulbert. Several others are also not followed by Hulbert. this list includes Don Wolanchuck who won Timer Digest's timer of the year award so many times that publication decided to change how they rate timers so they could drop him from the list of those they follow! I'd love to know what Don did to piss them off besides winning too often... unless if the same person wins too often then you don't have news to sell.....

I believe Hulbert gives Brinker the benefit of the doubt, such as with QQQ, so he can rate him high and then sell his newsletter to Brinker's subscribers after Brinker brags about a high Hulbert rating.... Mark got upset when I suggested this to him which tells me he doesn't agree... 8)
