Thanks Rillinois, Bill and the others for the information on Bob's previous recommendation of AMAT as well as the info on TEFQX. Certainly, TEFQX could be one of Bob's worst recommendations when viewed in the context it was given in. I own it per Bob's recommendation, so I speak from experience. While I am posting, I would like to express something that I have till now, withheld from expressing publically. It is simply amazing to me to watch someone attack another poster for criticizing Brinker. Brinker is a public figure. Nobody else on this thread is as far as I can tell. I imagine that nobody on this thread has a personal friendship with Brinker such that they would feel the need to take criticism of Brinker's recommendations personally. Adding to this lunacy, is the fact that Brinker provides investment advice which most, if not all, the people who post here have followed at one time or another. When Brinker gives bad advice, it is not only acceptable to point it out, but in everyone else's best interest. When Brinker gives good advice, it speaks for itself and he and many others will toot his horn, including yours truly. It is often the same posters who return sporadically to take a pot shot at someone who is tracking Brinker's calls and trying to figure out if his recommendation was good or bad. I really can't understand that mentality, unless it is the cult of personality others have alluded to. When it comes to your own personal finances, that cult can be very expensive and I would think that any objective criticism of Brinker's advicve would only benefit those that follow, or are considering following his advice. With that said, I hope everyone invested in the QQQs, whether you got in at $86, $75 or $52 all make their money back and then some. That includes me!
