Intersting that you have only posted in the Bob Brinker forums since 1998

Have you figured out that geode00 is not me or now are you going to accuse me of being Tim?

High technology is sure great!

Dick Grasso was considered a good guy until they found out he was paid $140M to regulate the crooks.

Uh oh, another Bob Brinker shill on the loose?

This one claims that the majority of Brinkerites have profited nicely? Show me the statistics or don't make claims you can't support.

Thank you for your attention.

Oh Susan really,

The facts about Brinker are all here in the archives of this thread if you care to educate yourself. If all you believe is what Brinker wants you to believe by his censored programming then you are the one who needs help.

Do you really think that a radio talk show host is smart enough to time the market? Get real!!! Brinker is nothing but an entertainer like so many other talk show hosts. They don't require any special credentials to sit behind a microphone and give advice. Brinker is the worst kind of market tipster there is giving advice he has minimal qualifications to give.

So when he is wrong, and he is often wrong, he is totally immobilized by inexperience and he cannot give rational advice to manage the situation. I used to be a Brinker apologist like yourself but I later began to be troubled by a pattern in his behavior that tipped me off to what he was doing. Brinker controls the perception given off on his program through careful screening of calls, guided answers that aim to mislead and a nagging lack of specificity in his over-hyped advice.

While his general investment advice is sound it, unfortunately, lulls one into a false sense of security. Brinker should stop there but he goes over the edge by giving timing advice backed by some unproven, hypothetical model. Once you're roped in by sense of greatness that Brinker exudes you become a target for his subscription services. The main one, his newsletter is a tacky, pathetic little thing that hardly deserves any mention here. For people looking for serious market analysis, Brinker's newsletter is a joke. The whole thing would be funny except you're paying for it. Ninety nine percent of what you get in the newsletter is available for free. The other one percent is subject to a 50% chance of being right.

So Susan, if you still don't believe what you read here why not call Brinker himself on the air and ask him what he would do differently if he had his QQQ trade to do over again? It's such an important question. Don't you think? I bet you wont last 10 seconds on the phone.

Please let us know the answer you get.
