Richard "Friends" are folks that measure all advice in a total portfolio and don't try to play games cherry picking good or bad picks in an attempt to distort the overall record. "Enemies" are those that attack me or others for pointing out that Brinker doesn't measure all of his advice in any form or factor that approaches reality. "Shills" are those that make stuff up about me or worse and then expect me to waste time defending myself from the lies and attacks (including a death threat). I think they hope to discredit the messenger. I try to not waste time with them. God knows why I still think there is a smidgen of hope for you. BTW, my WHOLE APPROACH, is to put some volatile stocks into a portfolio and then asset allocate around the volatility. By definition there will usually be big winners and big losers. The stupid delight in attacking me on the stocks that are down while not looking at the overall portfolio. If they are not stupid, then it is even worse in that it is a deliberate attempt to distort. So, if you want to gain any credibility, I'd suggest forgetting about what my numbers are as your defense of Brinker. My numbers only prove you can honestly report good and bad advice and still beat the market. My numbers have absolutely NOTHING to do with Brinker and his business model of being vague with his advice while keeping the risk "off the books" so if it fails, it doesn't count but if it goes up, he lets you on the show to thank him. If, after all these years you can't see this, then I truly feel sorry for you. Kirk
