It's rather likely that Bob Brinker lost alot of subscribers in the months following the QQQQ blunders. He and Junior probably stayed up nights working on a solution. It looks like they had two options: 1) Be honest--close the trades and forever post a disclaimer/footnote/asterisk in his newsletters acknowledging them. 2) Drop all Marketimer coverage of the trades and issue a new Nasdaq-100 Index buy in the mid-$20 range and refuse to ever mention the previous trades again. And if questioned, pretend the 2000/2001 events never happened. Bob Brinker took the low road in #2, and therein lies the rub my friends. It's about integrity and honesty. . .
