Why has your model NEVER TURNED BEARISH during the biggest bear market of your lifetime? An excellent question that Brinker has never addressed. Following Brinker's advice in early 2000 was like riding on the Titanic. Capt. Brinker saw the waters grow still and knew it was time to take evasive maneuvers but he failed to take it slow and easy. Instead, Capt. Brinker plunged full speed into an iceberg field like he was immune to risk. Then the mother of all icebergs was on him and Capt. Brinker never knew what hit him. Even as people were trying to dive for the last lifeboat Capt. Brinker couldn't accept the recklessness of his ignorance. He never has since. I guess the one good thing that can be said of Capt. Brinker is, he did go down with his ship. All the way down to the bottom as QQQ sank from 87 down to 20. In fact, Capt. Brinker is still down there underwater today. Though many new fishermen like to tell a different fish story.
