You obviously think Brinker is some kind of charlatan Not at all. I respect him a great deal. However, I realize he is only human (and has trouble admitting when he's made a bad call). I just feel sorry for the multitudes who follow him blindly, refuse to expend the energy to do their own due diligence and thinking, and then, when they lose their money, refuse to accept responsibility for their investment mistakes caused by their blind faith in another (necessarily fallible) human being.

As far as I am concerned this is a free and open thread to all posters, regardless of their attitude about Bob Brinker, subject only to the Silicon Investor Terms of Use. A
