"How effin long does one have to hold 1/3 of a portfolio to make it 'long term'?" That's irrelevant, because it was intended to be a short term trade, as clearly indicated in the bulletin. It only became long term AFTER THE FACT. "However to do that a subscriber would have to go against Brinker's advice that was that the QQQs were a great idea still." But to keep them in the model portfolios would also go against Brinker's advice, so we have a conundrum. I think Hulbert's solution was the correct one. However, I have said for years that to be honest, Brinker should have found a way of ALSO reporting what his results would be with the QQQQ included, for example as an additional alternate portfolio. Of course he has ignored this excellent advice for how to clean up his image. Just shows you how much influence I have over him! "There is no more damning evidence of dishonesty than Brinker's handling of the QQQs." Amen to that, bro'. "I'm surprised you want to be part of the alibi." Assuming facts not in evidence Mr. Prosecutor. (Or is it judge, jury, and executioner?) Like I said you can include the QQQQ if you think they are meaningful. He has said it will never happen again, but if you don't want to believe him, no one will blame you for that. Just don't claim that he did things he didn't do, OK? It weakens your case.
