dija said At the very worst, all brinker did with his QQQ call was wipe out any benefits people got from the jan. 2000 call. I'll have to respectfully disagree with that dija. Anyone who followed the guidelines lost a percentage of the benefits of the Jan. 2000 call, not a "wipe out". Even if they sold out at the very bottom, they lost a percentage of a percentage of a percentage. If they sold out at the very bottom (NOT a Brinker recommendation) they lost about 75% of 20% to 50% of 65% of their portfolios. Am I right? dija to pigstuff You WANT to believe that people had their lives ruined because of brinker, but it just isn't so. Sorry. Right, it just isn't so.

"Pig, the only ones who are spinning here are the bashers. The plain fact is, NO ONE who followed brinker's QQQ recommendation had his retirement ruined or his life ruined." Yes Queen^& aliases have all of you spouting her talking points. LOL

Ahhhh, FakeDija, why do you assume so much? There is a life outside of Brinker, and sticking up for him, even when I did not mention him! You completely missed the point of my post, assuming there was a dig against Brinker. There was no dig against your hero. My point is specifically about this comment: "I am not calling retired in prescott a liar. He may FEEL that his retirement is ruined, but that's his opinion." I did not mention Brinker, percentages, funds, stocks or anything. This cold hearted shill is saying that losing your ass in the market is ONLY A FEELING and an OPINION. This is one of the dumbest, cruel, most ignorant comments I have ever seen in my life! If you sat next to a guy in a coffee shop, and he spilled his guts to you about losing almost everthing in the market, would you look him in the eye and say "That's only a feeling and your opinion". I hope you have a strong jaw! If Prescott lost everything in the market because he was greedy, and did not follow guidelines, so what? He lost it, and it was his fault. BUT, the comment that it's only a "feeling and an opinion" is beyond common sense and decency. Saying that just to protect bobby-boy from any perceived bashing is pathetic.
