"I'm wondering if you aren't related to Bob Brinker. Some of your thinking seems just as twisted on this subject." I'm wondering if you aren't related to a full-service, full-commission broker, who is upset at him for recommending no-load funds. Who else would be so dedicated to claiming that Brinker is always wrong, about everything? "To say that the subscribers did not know that this was 'model portfolio' money when Bob Brinker gave the EXACT percentage taken from them in January 2000, is beyond any logic." That's probably why I didn't say that. What I said was that they knew it WASN'T model portfolio money in the November issue. The bulletin, I agree, was unclear (as I said several years ago, BTW). "Hulbert knows it and IMO, dishonestly ignores it (even though, he has explained that it happened in a footnote--which is more than Bob Brinker does, incidentally)." So now you're accusing Hulbert of dishonesty? What could possibly be the motive for choosing to favor ONE of the OVER ONE-HUNDRED-EIGHTY investment letters that Hulbert tracks? "Hulbert basically says the same thing you did--Brinker said he didn't include it, so he gets a pass." If Hulbert included the loss from mid-October to early November of 2000 in his published performance for Brinker, that is not giving him a pass. Nor is the fact that the QQQ footnote appears every year on Brinker's annual ranking. "Bob Brinker also knows it, but chooses to dishonestly ignore it and wait for it to go away!! This is not right, and I appreciate that you have at least acknowledged this fact." Well at least we agree on SOMETHING! 8)
