You bring up a great point. It seems we have two "new" posters in the last day shew and Queen --likely "one" new poster with two puters who are screaming like mashed cats because the truth about Brinker which even "their guy" Math agrees with is coming out. There is absolutely NO evidence that Brinker ever was in charge of an equity portfolio in the "canyons of wall street". We know Brinker will lie like a dog. He proved that many times. He has NO PUBLIC RECORD as a portfolio manager. Yet he attempts to give that impression. Just like Math and I agree Brinker attempted this weekend to give the impression that the only QQQs he ever recommended were those 25$ QQQs in oct 2003 and he cut back on them at 40 something in April this year. If he were honest and he is not--he would admit that he has goobers trusting him invested in QQQs in the 80s with up to 1/3 of their entire equity portfolio and held to this day when the Qs are trading at about 35 bucks. Bout as DISHONEST as it gets. Why anyone would pay this guy is beyond me. I've never heard another financial professional--unless you include those few media types that "guest host" Brinker's program ever mention Bob Brinker. Those people Brinker likes to use diminutives or slam with tags that he finds humorous and condescending are all well known in the investment community and mentioned often in the media. Brinker is an unknown outside of the goobers and geezers who he baits on weekends and those of us on both sides and himself posting under aliases and his son and shills. Brinker yet claims to have spent years in the "canyons of wall street". Yet there is not a single iota of a record as a portfolio manager or indeed any proof that he ever managed an equity portfolio. Indeed he has talked about pitching wealthy clients of an insurance company on the radio. Every insurance company I ever saw wanted to pitch very expensive annuities to goobers and geezers. I would guess (to follow Math's lead) that was Brinker's role. A communications major with the gift of gab and little if any investment experience was likely sent out with a line of BS to get those high annuity fees for the Royal whatever insurance company of London. Served him well in his present postion of BSing goobers and geezer of little means to believe he can tell them when to be in equities and when to QQQuit. An Insurance investment company is great training for hyping his BS these days that dishonestly hides his call to buy QQQs in the 80s with up to 1/3 of a portfolio and hold to this day when they are trading at about 35 bucks. Screwing goobers and geezers is an art from used by many insurance company VPs (annuity salesmen) and marketiming rag scamsters.

Today I talked to two stockbrokers I know. Neither one of them has ever heard of Brinker. Can someone please tell me what this guy did on Wall Street that makes him an expert on the stock market. --------------------------- LOL Fahren but I wouldn't place to much faith in what a couple of stockbrokers who ride the bus say. Probably nice guys, but well you know real professionals just don't ride buses. And as far as what Brinker did on Wall Street that makes him an expert on the stock market? Well I'm not entirely sure but that was a long time ago and I'm not sure it's really relevant today. Also, you might ask the same question of Kirk. Kirk says you don't need any license, certification or any credentials at all to be an expert. And since you are a long time subscriber you must somehow lend some credence to this rather Laissez Faire approach regarding lack of any credentials whatsoever. I just wonder why you hold Brinker and Kirk to different standards? Kirk says all his performance numbers are there somewhere for anybody to check out if they want to. Have you, or do you know anyone who has, checked the veracity of Kirk's statement? It's all play money you know and would be pretty easy to fudge over the years.

Re "Can someone please tell me what this guy did on Wall Street that makes him an expert on the stock market." I believe he started his career managing a portfolio for a New York investment bank. At some point, he formed BJ Group along with Sheldon Jacobs to manage private funds. If I remember correctly, they sold BJ Group a few years ago to a bank or fund company of some sort. I used to know the details, but have forgotten them over the years. Best wishes, I2

As the unofficial biographer of Bob Brinker and keeper of sacred knowledge of the inner workings of the long term stock market timing model, I believe I may be able to offer some background information on Mr. Brinker. For starters, he graduated from LaSalle College High School. He obtained an undergraduate degree in economics from LaSalle University. He was in the Masters Program at Temple Univesity Radio School of Broadcasting. Mr. Brinker was also a racetrack announcer in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He was track announcer for Sprint Car and Midget Car racing at Hatfield Speedway, and Modified Stock Car racing at Nazareth Speedway and Harmony Speedway. He also announced at Fort Dix Speedway. Bob even did harness race announcing at Dover Downs. Dogs and cars didn't satisfy his craving though! Bob even was a broadcaster for Big Five NCAA basketball and Princeton football. Prior to starting with Moneytalk, Bob worked in two positions primarily over a 20 year time frame: He worked as the U.S. portfolio manager for the London-based Guardian Royal Exchange Group and before that, as a vice president for the Bank of New York. In October of 1981, Bob began broadcasting a weekly investment program on WMCA in New York. It was only broadcast in New York. In 1986, Bob started Moneytalk which was broadcast nationally by the ABC Radio Network. - David Korn, Editor of David Korn's Stock Market Commentary, Interpretation of Moneytalk (Bob Brinker Host), Financial Education, Helpful Links, Guest Editorials, and Special Alert E-Mail Service.
