>>Agreed. It was a bad call, handled badly. It's been said about a thousand times. But it didn't "ruin" retiredinprescott and it didn't ruin anyone that has ever been substantiated, so get over it already.

Sorry but here are the man's exact words.

Another critic sent this distressing note:
"I have never written anyone on this topic before but your article spurred me to write back to you. I retired early in the first half of 2000. I had been following [Brinker's] advice based on his excellent track record and comments he made during a personal appearance in Rochester NY in the late 1990s.
"Shortly after I retired I got Bob's bulletin to put up to half my stock market funds into QQQ 'immediately.' I followed Bob's advice and it has ruined what should have been a wonderful retirement for me and my wife. We bought in at 82. What REALLY is unforgivable is that Brinker had NO EXIT STRATEGY for this horrendous trade. Even today he is still telling us to hold the QQQ (even though down 75 percent). Does he realize how many lives he's ruined?"

>>>>Someone posted his bio here or elsewhere recently, I read it. Very impressive. Sorry I can't direct you to it, I don't remember who it was or where. But I'd say 25 years on Wall Street in any capacity other than custodian or mail room specialist ought to do it all by itself.

Thanks for providing NO DETAILS. You seem to be asking us to consider retired in Prescott a liar even thought he provides a detailed account and you are telling the truth while you can't present any detail to back it up.

You sound a lot like another Butter who defends Brinker.

Thanks for nothing. Real helpful, you are. A friend of a friend of a friend told you this, right?

But I'd say 25 years on Wall Street in any capacity other than custodian or mail room specialist ought to do it all by itself.

That is asinine.

OK Queenie, let's start with your affinity for UNDERLINING. I've not seen another Brinker syncophant spend the time or effort to UNDERLINE. It seems that either you and Peanut Butter are the exclusive users of the underlining feature on this thread with over 30,000 posts or you are in a small elite minority that I have not been able to find another member yet.

Here's you as Peanut Butter
Message 22653260
or post 22483 if you prefer or click the post I'm replying to on by the screen name of yours that was banished for multiple screen names. In the brief time here Peanut Butter UNDERLINED for emphasis.

And you often UNDERLINE for emphasis and as far as I have seen is the only Brinker apologist or critic to do so on this site. Now there may be other examples of underlining, but I haven't found one. I didn't have to go far in Peanut Buttercrap to find it--and neither do I have to go far in finding UNDERLINING in your posts especially when you seem angry. :)

Message 23561469
or your post 31111

or your post
Message 23564224

or Queen your post 31197 of recent vintage

It seems in your normal posting you use the UNDERLINING idea about as often as Peanut butter--and shazam I don't see anyone else using it. Now there are some that I have not of course investigated. But in going down the posts when Peanut Butter was posting--only the Queen name could I find underlining and looking at recent posts of all the usual suspects---only Queen seems to use the Underlining feature.

Odd isn't it? what is your explanation for this apparently unusual use on this thread with 30 some odd thousand posts that the only examples I see are you and Peanut Butter.

You do remember that you and this Peanut Butter screen names were the only ones to ever have used AAR on either this thread or Yahoo--and you used it along with Peanut Butter on both when you were banished for using multiple screen names to tout Brinker.
