Now Richard, I think you know me better than that. I pride myself on being objective and providing facts - that's why people subscribe to my Interpretation service. As it turns out, my recollection was correct and you were incorrect. Aaron Task did originally report that Brinker said to sell the QQQs at $100, not $84. You see, you just didn't research the issue fully. Unfortunately, that is often the problem when one discusses Brinker. Passions are so hot on both sides of the issue, that you better make sure you have your facts, otherwise, people can't rely on what you say. Here is an excerpt from the retraction printed by Aaron Task. If you had read the article all the way down, you would have seen this and not made the statement, "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." Read on: "The Oct. 11 TaskMaster column, Drink Up: This Year's Special Is a Bottomless Comp, incorrectly reported that Bob Brinker, editor and publisher of Bob Brinker's Marketimer and host of ABC Radio's MoneyTalk, recommended buying the Nasdaq 100 Trust in May at 74 and selling at 100. In fact, Brinker told his radio audience he'd bought the QQQs at 74 and then later said he thought they would get beyond 100. But his actual sell recommendation was at 84.

Richard Palm, Re: I did not know of the Intel trading history you referred to... There you go again, making conclusions without knowing the facts first. Maybe you should seriously take a break and research Bob Brinker. You come to this debate firing off all these conclusions, but time after time we see that you are just spouting out conclusions with no basis in fact. It really doesn't surprise me anymore, I believe you admitted a while back that you will defend him because you like him, you want there to be a counter balance to the criticism and you enjoy arguing. That's fine, but you really lose credibility when you defend your position regardless of what the truth is. Re: But I don't believe in thinking ill of people without solid evidence. Really???? Best Regards. Rillinois
