Hi David, thanks for the post. I did not know of the Intel trading history you referred to, but it does not surprise me. I would only point out that from what I have heard, successful traders do not expect to succeed on every trade. For us, it's only a matter of speculation as to how successful Brinker may have been at trading on his own behalf, because we don't have the data. "Even Aaron Task of thestreet.com initially got Bob's May counter-trend rally advice wrong, saying that he told people to sell at $100 rather than $84 until he was corrected by his readership. How did he get that erroneous information in the first place? I will leave that up to you to figure out." Your recollection on this point appears to be incorrect. As near as I can tell, the following is the original Task article on the May CTR. As you can see, it clearly says that Brinker told people to sell at 84. thestreet.com If I were like some people, I would speculate about your motives in making that error, and impute sinister motives to you for making it. But I don't believe in thinking ill of people without solid evidence. The final quote in your post is a great one.
