My goodness you shills are tense. Must be the fact SI is going to control the influx of screen names. Ok Shres claims "Brinker's #1 and #2 portfolios both trounced the indexes by a wide margin. IOW, Hulbert used the indexes and ranked BB #1 in timing, but if he had used brinker's model portfolios he (brinker) would have done MUCH better. So stockalot is just blowing smoke. He's actually lying, because I have corrected him 3 or 4 times,and he has simply ignored me and posted the same b.s. over and over." Yes because it is NOT TRUE. Indeed there is an article out there floating around by Hulbert himself talking about how you are better off using Brinker's advice applied to indexes than to apply it to Brinker's fund picks. So No dija's claim no matter how many times he makes it is NOT ACCURATE to what has been written by Hulbert. I'll find it for you when I get time. And WAY beyond arguing over ther merits of that bogus claim, is the fact that the whole PREMISE of any rating is based on a LIE. You see Brinker's LONG TERM HOLDING for up to 1/3 of an entire portfolio remains the QQQ shares that he recommended in the newsletter to be purchased with funds (cash reserves) made available from his January reduction to 40% equities. He has never closed the postion and thus only an idiot would give him credit without counting this: " SUBSCRIBER BULLETIN FROM MARKETIMER MARKETIMER is projecting a significant countertrend rally which is expected to be led by the Nasdaq 100 Index. We expect this rally to persist over a period of approximately 2-4 months, and to generate Nasdaq gains in excess of 20% from the vicinity of the recently established Nasdaq closing low point. We view this projected Nasdaq rally as a significant trading opportunity for MARKETIMER subscribers seeking potential short-term capital gains. Our clear vehicle of choice for this opportunity is the Nasdaq 100, which is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol QQQ. We recommend MARKETIMER subscribers with aggressive objectives invest 30% to 50% of existing CASH RESERVES in the QQQ shares in order to exploit this opportunity. Also, we recommend subscribers with conservative investment objectives invest 20% to 30% of CASH RESERVES in the QQQ shares in order to take advantage of this opportunity. MARKETIMER will provide follow up guidance for this short-term opportunity in regular monthly editions, and, if necessary, in follow up bulletins. We recommend subscribers interested in taking advantage of this recommendation act immediately." I hope that clears up your confusion.
