davidk said Well, I will concede that I know most of my subscribers only through e-mail communications So David, now you're saying that you're talking about YOUR subscribers?And there were hundreds upon hundreds of YOUR subscribers that followed Brinker's advice to the letter? But wouldn't they have to have been Brinker's subscribers to have received the bulletin and "acted immediately" and to have been affected by the continuing advice (or lack thereof)? This is what you said:The truth is, I know personally hundreds upon hundreds of people who followed Brinker's advice to the letter and were stuck holding those QQQQ shares throughout the entire bear market and continue holding them to this day. Maybe you can see why I thought you were talking about Brinker subscribers, not Korn subscribers, and certainly not Moneytalk listeners. I don't doubt that you have hundreds of correspondents, but that number still seems excessive. At any rate (they don't seem to like AAR around here), why were they "stuck"? Yes, I know the followup was lacking, but when is one old or mature enough to make a decision for oneself?

David Thanks for the information. Could you give us a rough estimate of what percentage of your subscribers participated in the QQQ trade. And then give us an estimate of what percentage of them are still holding their original position in the QQQ's. Thanks.

davidK said: <<My numbers aren't exagerating.>> --OK. So you know "hundreds and hundreds" who bought the QQQs on brinker's recommendation and are still holding them. Please answer these questions: 1) What percentage (roughly) invested 20% of cash reserves, or more? 2) What pct. (roughly) blame brinker for their losses? 3) What pct. (roughly) have admitted they are still better off than they would have been, if they had just ignored BOTH Bob's Jan. 2000 call, and his Oct. 2001 QQQ recommendation? 4) Off all those you know who bought, what pct. sold out while the QQQs were still $50 or higher? Thank you. (I will be shocked if you actually answer).
