"We" :) are now up to March 2001... Oh, I am so thrilled to hear that! Does SI allow links to 101? Maybe I'll just punch it up on a Google search, where it will probably come in on the 1st page. Anybody can read at 101 without needing to sign in, isn't that right?

"...this man is no more able to predict the stock market going forward than a monkey with a dart board. He, like many others, mistakes randomness for ability. He changes his tactics and spin as he goes, but this only becomes crystal clear as one puts the puzzle pieces all together..." You may be on to something there Tressy. As far as randomness goes, many (that would be a least one according to Kirk) experts claim that not only is the market random but individual stocks behave randomly too. In other words experts such as Fama, Malkiel and Bernstein claim that you can't time the market and that individual stock picking is a fools' game as well. Can't be done they say. Newsletterscheat agrees but Kirk says while marketiming can't be done that he i.e. Kirk CAN successfully pick individual stocks over the long haul. He trots out a hand full of stocks representing only a small "explore" portion of a total portfolio as proof. Should we believe this...or is this just another newsletter huckster trying to get our money? What do you say?

Mr. Pig innocently asked: Is there anywhere where I can find a synopsis and running history of this? I think many people might be interested in following an orderly progression of the facts. honeytres swiftly responded I am pleased to tell you that indeed a month by month history of Bob Brinker's enthusiastic touting of QQQQ's... is being systematically posted at Honey's Brinker ... Buzz at ... [another website]. "We" are now up to March 2001... LOL, Very nice setup, there! Would that be anything like "shilling"? Or is that more like one board being manipulated to promote another? Or is it more like Abbot and Costello? Just curious :)
