Richard, are you forgetting you did not qualify your defense with "most" or "some" but you said an absolute: Tim, on the radio he has said "I was wrong." You don't say "I" in a newsletter - it's just not done.* Brinker did not invent the "editorial we."* I have a tiny newsletter and I often admit that I was wrong to my subscribers and what I learned. One example has been where I used to think QQQ was "OK for those underweight tech and who wanted to add tech in an ETF form" where now I know I was wrong as QQQ was DESIGNED for shorting where XLK is a much better alternative "as an investment". Perhaps that is why they don't yammer about me up and down the internet for being deceptive or dishonest? Your example for the Calif Tech Stock Newsletter is humorous. I think the writer of that tech newsletter (MM) had the distinction of actually losing money in technology in the 1990's! When I wrote for Jorgensen, that writer actually did a guest page in our newsletter. He gave a critique of the stocks I held. He WROTE in Jorgensen's newsletter of my stocks he liked SFAM THE BEST which was in the teens about then... and I had bought with some LRCX diversification money to make sure I had CMP covered. Sfam went on to hit $1 a share... His favorite was Mattson which is not much better than SFAM for running a business... I think putting Brinker in the same boat as this guy explains why they would say "WE were wrong". Think about it. Kirk out
