<<when Brinker sent this they claim few took the advice...>>

--Kirk and honey say they post nothing but the TRUTH about bob brinker on 101. Well, in that case, I guess honey won't be cutting-and-pasting this piece of garbage by stocklot to her "truth board."

The above statement by stocklot is obviously false. No one I know has ever made that claim.

<<nobody really took the advice seriously.>>

--Another patently and obviously false statemtent. Every brinker fan I know took it very seriously. Some of them invested, and some didn't. But they ALL took it seriously.

As I stated recently, I have known approximately 10 brinker fans. NOT A SINGLE ONE invested any more than 5% of his/her portfolios. NOT ONE. But even a 3% investment in something like that is VERY SERIOUS to everyone I know.

<< Anybody who took the advice knew that although Brinker holds the position to this day 70 months later, everyone else sold out knowing he was an idiot.>>

--All 10 of the people mentioned above has sold out, long ago. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THEM BELIEVES TO THIS DAY THAT BRINKER IS AN IDIOT. They simply recognized it was a failed trade. How hard was it to do that?

<< Nobdy was seriously affected by this advice.>>

--More absolute garbage. Who said that? Obviously you won't answer THAT question. We only maintain that you bashers EXAGGERATE the harm it did. Some people lost serious money. *I* lost a LOT more than I like to think about. But NO ONE had his "retirement ruined" if he followed all the advice, including the 2000 call.

<<I've never understood the logic of Brinker apologist.>>

--You want me to explain it to you AGAIN?

<< He's the most brilliant advisor in the world...>>

--More garbage. No non-basher has ever said that.

<<except when he is a complete idiot and of course anyone can tell one from the other beforehand.>>

--No one ever said that either.

It's hard to imagine a worse post than the one I am responding to. Garbage,pure and simple. Hardly a true word in the entire thing.

And yet, this is honey's hero. Honey says her board tells the truth about brinker, and yet she cuts and pastes posts like this.

What a joke!

Honey, I challenge you to put this post of mine on your board. I am 99% sure you won't do it.
