"Granted, guidance should have been better." Better? It was either absolutely foolish or non-existant. Today Brinker's largest LONG TERM HOLDING is up to 1/3 of an entire portfolio in QQQQs. And he is dishonestly hiding that.

Queen said: <<Granted, guidance should have been better. So should autonomy, self-awareness and self-control.>> --Bingo! Coincidentally, I just got a call today from a friend. He mentioned in passing that his broker (who has done well for this man) strongly recommended a specific stock. The broker has been closely following this particular small stock for many years and is thoroughly familiar with the company. He told my friend he expects it to double within 6 months to a year. I asked for the name of the stock and suggested I would look into it and might buy it. My friend reacted by saying: "Oh, no! Don't do that--if it goes bad you'll blame me!" I just laughed at THAT comment, and told him about the crybaby brinker bashers. "Don't worry," I told him. "If that stock tanks I will blame MYSELF and ONLY MYSELF. After all, it will be MY decision to buy it--not yours!!" My friend then agreed that I was right. When his broker gives him a bad stock, he said, he never even thinks of blaming the broker, because the final decision to buy was in his hands--not the broker's. We then both had a good laugh over the silliness of these bashers who blame their QQQ losses on brinker and avoid--at all costs--looking in the mirror! -:)
