how did you do in January, 2000 and March, 2003 Or "How did you do in October 2000 and into 2001 as Brinker abandoned the failed QQQ trade?" Why do you leave out this very important stumble in Brinker's past? You can't be considered credible when you selectively hype the good calls and ignore the bad ones. By ignoring this failure you suggest that Brinker followers should have known a-priori that they should only follow his long term timing advice and ignore his short term advice. He did not warn anyone that he was an inexperienced trader. So, it's reasonable to assume that many of his past followers assumed his skills were as good as advertised. In reality, Brinker misled followers by not telling them that he was an inexperienced amateur trader as was proven by his total mishandling of a failed trade.

Isn't it funny that your hero Brinker's moves and character can't stand scrutiny to the point that you have to personally attack the person with the opposing view of the guy this thread is about? I'm guessing it's been a long time since Brinker was described by any of his old followers as a "savant". You alone from those posting on this thread with Bob Brinker when he used the alias Don Lane seem to be here touting him as though he were infallible and want to attack those who point out what you don't like to hear about the guy? Please Jeffrey, you asked if I was on drugs when I posted a summary of Brinker's moves that would belie any claim he might have to be able to predict the market successfully over time. Yet when you were asked to please refute any of the material about Brinker in that post, you attack me and go back into your little world of "what did you do in jan 2000 and March 2003?" You obviously know that I am right about your guy or you would have something better than a personal attack. Agreed? While you are at it, tell us why you think Brinker added QQQs to the portfolio as his biggest addition in March 2003 around 25 bucks and stopped giving advice to those holding a potload of those suckers from his previous bright idea right here: home.netcom.com Yes if I had to argue the facts on Brinker's behalf, I'd attack the poster and do anything I could but argue the facts. :)
