The S&P went up another 13% in the following eight months, but considering that this was pretty much in line with the performance of the preceding years, I don't think it would qualify as the market "skyrocketing." Unless you are in a bubble... most reasonable people would assume ANY return above 10% in 8 months rather than 12 months for 10% is "skyrocketing"... but you might have been too busy reading over that prospectus for the short fund that Brinker suggested subscribers order back then...

Perhaps Brinker was impressed enough with their enthusiasm and the fundamental story in the sector that he neglected to consider the appearance of a conflict of interest Wow, of all the stocks in the universe Brinker HAD to pick this one which promptly went down and stayed down for years. After that down period was over Brinker sold it prior to a huge run up. Yep, I think that he was so blown away (for years and years) by the UTEK management that he gave ZERO thought to the fact that they were apparently paying him to manage their 401Ks. I DO think that is the most logical conclusion to come to.
