A lady from nowhere, who may never heard of Da Brink before this weekend, calls Da Brink and queries him about her holdings in the QQQQ she bought $100,000 worth several several years back at $51, which she is still holding today, wanting to know from Da Brink if she should book the loss so she can place the remaining money as a down payment for a retirement home. Your reply is to the effect of you trying to sell it to us as a coincidental QQQQ buy, not as a result of Da Brink's Infamous Q Call.>> --I'm not trying to "sell" it as anything. Kirk was trying to SELL it as a result of Bob's call--I just said that Mary didn't say that, and he (kirk) was just making an unwarranted assumption. Do you know what the daily volume on the QQQs is? Since she bought them in 2001 at $55, do you know what the mathematical probability of her doing it based on brinker's recommendation would be? Even in Oct. 2001, of all the people who bought QQQs, only a small percentage were doing it because of brinker's recommendation. Mary may not have even found brinker on the radio until 2003, or 2004, or 2005. The bottom line is, I don't know WHY Mary did it. But kirk doesn't know either, and he's the one who made the unwarranted assumption.
