I think it is absolutely hilarious that an arrogant elitist like you underperforms those good folks you call "goobers." You are stating as facts, facts that are not in evidence. I have outperformed Brinker's stated (even the dishonest one leaving out the QQQs and tEFQX) for my whole investing career of nearly 30 years. However that is not the reason I am fascinated by the critter. It is the honesty, his relationship with UTEK, his posts as Don Lane, his hiding of TEFQX, his deception with his January "I am not bearish" call. His radio QQQ trade that he sold at the low of the summer and had an excuse "The most important thing in a bear market is capital preservation" His QQQ ACT IMMEDIATELY bulletin near the beginning of the worst bear in history, for up to 1/3 of a portfolio to purchase QQQs in the 80s. Same security and same time frame and same projection as the radio QQQ trade only this time he held them all the way down under 20.00 His excuse this time totally opposite his excuse of the failure in the radio trade: "We don't sell on weakness". Brinker is fun to watch because of his character and what he will do to make himself a dime. He is of no interest to me as an investment advisor. Btw, most must share my view, I don't see any of that crew who used to hang on his every word paying any attention to him on the "moderated" thread. As we agree there are no longer any callers to his program that are stock market savvy--only the goobers. Keep complaining about me and using all kinds of permutations on my screen name Jeffrey, but you know I'm right. :)
