BARRONS takes shot at CSCO's accounting practices; Its not often that I would give any credit to BARRONS, they are known on the street as the CONTRARIAN indicator. Along with thier editor Mr. Abelson as the markets have rallied since 1991 they have continually called it over valued, and over hyped. All along shying away many old timers that remember BARRONS from the early 1940's as the only investment paper besides WSJ. This weekends disect into CSCO's accounting practices looks very, very interesting!! I thinks its a must read and coming 3 days from MSFT's earnings report I find it very suspect at best. After reviewing MSFT's numbers and now understanding better how these company's use these takeover's to add to the bottom line in a FALSE MANNER it only overly confirms my pessimism of Wall Street. On another topic B. Brinker avoided all questions regarding the QQQ call he may have made last monday. I am now of the opinion this IDIOT flipped 100% and went long the QQQ last monday. I am extremely confused and have actually lost some respect for Brinker. I cannot confirm if he did call a long trade, but he surely would not DENY IT! Also how convenient not one question about the coming crash in the nASD that he pushed for the last 10 weeks! Is this guy for real?? He 2 weeks ago said 1900 was in the cards for possibly the next 120 days, now he recommends a long trade in the QQQ's?? I just donot get it, but I do plan on calling 1-800-934-2221 during tomorrows show. I feel for those that bought the qqq monday morning, I'm actually short at avarage 86! Go figure! I reveiewed his entire show skipping the commercials and he actually would not make ONE NEGATIVE COMMENT regarding the nasd or the market. Mr. Brinker may after watching the effect he had on the market last memorial day weekend, feel he can move the market in a more controled manner by only giving his advice out over his news letter, perhaps he should look at another past famous market predicter from the west coast that now has less credability then Bubba Clinton, Mike Murphy! One connot flip flop that quickly unless its for a only a day or week trade!
