Tony and thread, It's now obvious to the world that the US FED governors control everyone's destiny. So far I am not impressed with the collective competence and integrity of this club, Mr. Greenspan included and Mr. Volker excluded. You only have to listen to Angelli and Meyer etc. to see my point. Just how did these obscure characters get elected anyway? I bet their appointments underwent less scrutiny than a provincial judge. Something is not quite right here. Ibexx

"Brinker of late has been mellow and cool, vs. abrasive toward people who may call in questioning his advice. He makes a lot of sense to me, as has Larry Kudlow throughout this whole thing" Tony, of course he's mellowed, his ego has been burst. As for Kudlow, fyi Brinker has taken a cheap shot at him, right here on SI. It was 2 years ago or so but Bob said something to the effect of Larry and rehab. jim

So how much did Brinker cause people to lose for that call, vs. Greenspan going too far and then waiting too long to reverse? The QQQ's, depending on how you interpreted and when you received (via snailmail) the act immediately bulletin have been down 60% on Bob Brinker's suggestion. Not pennies I'm afraid but really large bucks. They were recommended for up to 50% of your cash reserves which means that, again on Bob Brinker's advice, you could have had up to 70% of your portfolio exposed to equities since October PLUS 32.5% of your portfolio exposed to QQQs. One-third of your portfolio, not a small %. He reiterated that advice month after month in the face of massive declines in the QQQs AND he booted critical posts and critical subscribers from his discussion boards. Then he finally closed his boards down. What was he looking for? a 20% trading gain in 2-4 months. What did subscribers get? A negative 60% buy&hold which is still going on. No stop losses, no exit strategies. Why don't people know about this? He deleted posts, he deleted subscribers, his call screeners hang up on callers who want to discuss counter trend rallies and QQQs that's why. No one has to follow anyone but it's not fair to say he did or didn't do something if that's simply not the case. Thank you.
