That's the truly alarming thing about Bob. He tries something that he has NO BUSINESS doing likely based on pure emotion, he fails miserably, he never explains what he did wrong and he never tries to fix it.

He's a very, very scary guy.

I think he's so freaked out by his enormous failure that he can't think straight. The last thing he wants to do is to try it again and fail again. It's eaiser and less risky for him to pretend it didn't happen.

WHAT IF: He still doesn't know what he did wrong and he still can't figure out why it went awry? Terrifying.

Maybe in 20 years the QQQs will have regained their former glory and he will be back to yammering about the beauties of LTBH. Then again, he probably won't be around then as he doesn't look altogether healthy even now.

Steve,

Brinker does not know what he's doing so he could never have found the CTR's you described. Of course, if he were a good market timer as he claims, it's true that one could actually have turned their huge QQQ loses around. As it stands, Brinker's long term hold approach on his ill-fated QQQ tip will never overcome the loss in practical terms.

I used to make assumptions based on Bob's silence but now I believe his silence just stems from his ineptitude.
