You wrote: Brinker actually does care about helping his callers attain financial and life success. Have you seen this post? Message 3441188 Does ANYONE here doubt that "mister topes" (which was "don lane" ) is Bob Brinker? This line is KEY to me: Wouldn't it be neat to see Brinker issue a sell signal while on vacation from radio, have his subscribers sellout at or near the top, and then see the market collapse with all the radio freeloaders left to fend for themselves when he returns only to tell them the horse is out of the barn and they are on their own! It seems he did just this (with a buy rather than a sell) with his March Bulletin to get back to 100%. From the way he handled those that didn't check the web site daily, it seems it was planned well in advance how he'd handle his call to get back in. If you subscribe AND you checked the web site daily AND you had faith to throw up to 25% into QQQs as advised, THEN you are in. Otherwise the "horse is out of the barn" and his guidance in the newsletter and on the radio since has been next to useless. Kirk

Brinker's ego gets in the way some times on his show ...Brinker actually does care about helping his callers attain financial and life success Why do you suppose Brinker has not made any public appearances since his defrocking after the QQQ disaster? Why does Brinker still today use his 30 year old picture to represent (or misrepresent) himself? Why does Brinker spend an inordinate amount of commercial time on his program hyping his commercial enterprises? Why does Brinker now read ads for Lumber Liquidators? Clearly Brinker was successful once but his ego certainly did get in the way and now he is a disgrace. Brinker constantly puts his own interests above those of his customers and that is a recipe for failure.

...but what becomes clear is that Brinker actually does care about helping his callers attain financial and life success. That is what puts him above any of the other financial talk show hosts and that is why he has been on so long. Total bs. Brinker cares only about one thing, lining his own pockets and he will do egregious things in order to accomplish his ends. He doesn't care about his customers, that is why he: 1. Cut off paid-up customers who questioned his QQQ trade. The schmuck actually cut off their subscriptions when they questioned HIS MISTAKE. Unbelieveable. 2. Deleted messages on his own message boards that questioned HIS MISTAKE. He left only those messages that were favorable leaving the impression that everyone agreed with him. Unbelieveable. 3. Lied, is lying and likely will continue to lie about his record in any way he can get away with. Unbelieveable. 4. Screens out or hangs up on (with the delay) customers who want to discuss how to mitigate the damage caused BY HIM to their portfolios. Unbelievable. He's simply one of the better ones (out of the thousands out there) at lying on national radio. Anyone who still supports this schmo after all the evidence available is out to harm other investors IMO and is, essentially, as sociopathic (is that a word?) as Bob Brinker is.
