Does anyone here still care about Bob Brinker and his favorite GNMA bond fund?

I posted three charts at " VFIIX - Vanguard's GNMA Fund"

Note how VFIIX was a money maker for anyone who "sold in May" at the very top on a basis adjusted for dividends. Like fame, that was fleeting... This means the fund has lost money for anyone who held it as of December 31, 2011 or later.

To Brinker's credit, I pointed out:
Bob has told callers who are worried about net asset value (NAV) fluctuations leading to potential losses to either use a stop loss at a price they don't want to lose any more money or to put the funds in FDIC insured CDs.
Missing the sell in May shows he was correct when he said he can't predict interest rates.
