Poor, clueless Pete, you have much sympathy from those in the reality camp. Someone said there was a 12 step (or was it 4) program for Brinker-bots. I've gone through it and have emerged furious but much more clear-headed. It's amazing how embarassed I feel about having (with a straight face) recommended Bob to my friends last year. I have had to go back and warn them (egg on face). I guess the longer you've been a bot the longer it will take to get you out. Sad but true. If UTEK, TEFQX, QQQ and all that hemming and hawing BS around what is and is not in the portfolios doesn't get you, I'm not sure what will. For the uninitiated, go to the Suite101.com board and flip through the older posts. There are numbers, charts, %'s, etc. Note in particular the negative (and huge) divergences between QQQs and its brethren. Note that there are few on this bot-board. Wonder why.
