But you left out MSFT, his 'gift horses,' his 'become your own personal financial advisor,' his preaching about diversification even during the height of the tech boom, and other good advice, and you zeroed in on the negative recommendations, which have NOTHING to do with his long-term timing model. <<I mean... you should not expect them to be "smarter than Brinker" should you?>> --No. But I'm not smarter than brinker, and yet I recognized that he was wrong on this call, and that he just didn't want to admit it, and I got out.
