Queen and other apologists for Bob Brinker like to "soften" the dishonesty into something less like the following. "I agree that Brinker didn't close the trade properly. I agree that he did not provide adequate guidance and I agree that he didn't discuss it adequately in the aftermath." Now that is interesting spin. "didn't close the trade properly". Isn't it true that he didn't close the position AT ALL and it is still ongoing with up to a third of an entire portfolio at inception nearly 6 yrs ago? If that is not true give me the date he closed the trade. So it's not "properly" or "improperly" we are talking about. It's dishonestly NOT closing the position at ll. It is his largest long term holding for anyone in portfolio I that took his aggressive advice. It's not "improper" Queen. It's DISHONEST. "I disagree with your claim that Brinker is a "scammer" from whom anyone needs to be protected or saved by any self-appointed saviors." What would you call some other newsletter scammer who sends every subscriber the following letter and then after it turns south HIDES the call and NEVER CLOSES THE POSITION? Would you say they were "scammers" ? "Bob Brinker's MARKETIMER SUBSCRIBER BULLETIN FROM MARKETIMER MARKETIMER is projecting a significant countertrend rally which is expected to be led by the Nasdaq 100 Index. We expect this rally to persist over a period of approximately 2-4 months, and to generate Nasdaq gains in excess of 20% from the vicinity of the recently established Nasdaq closing low point. We view this projected Nasdaq rally as a significant trading opportunity for MARKETIMER subscribers seeking potential short-term capital gains. Our clear vehicle of choice for this opportunity is the Nasdaq 100, which is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol QQQ. We recommend MARKETIMER subscribers with aggressive objectives invest 30% to 50% of existing CASH RESERVES in the QQQ shares in order to exploit this opportunity. Also, we recommend subscribers with conservative investment objectives invest 20% to 30% of CASH RESERVES in the QQQ shares in order to take advantage of this opportunity. MARKETIMER will provide follow up guidance for this short-term opportunity in regular monthly editions, and, if necessary, in follow up bulletins. We recommend subscribers interested in taking advantage of this recommendation act immediately.

Ms queen said: "I agree that he interrupts. so he can "cut to the chase". Who are you quoting Ms. queen? BOB BRINKER? I don't recall ever hearing him say that is the reason he rudely interrupts people. And it's a lead pipe cinch that isn't the reason that he interrupted Mary. BECAUSE, he absolutely NEVER "cut to the chase" of Mary's question. He told her he could not recommend selling the Q's she bought back in December 2000 or January-February 2001 unless they got to $42. Wasn't that sweet, when you consider they were selling for about $38 when he said that. And isn't he a card for insinuating that she would make money at $42 when she had told him she bought them at $55 on his advice? No, Ms.Queen, BOB BRINKER was doing everything in his power to keep Mary from mentioning that she had bought those Q's back when BOB BRINKER was screaming that there was a "countertrend rally in the Nasdaq" coming --back in those previously mentioned dates. How do I know all this? Here's why: THOSE ARE THE ONLY MONTHS DURING THE LAST EIGHT YEARS WHEN THE Q'S SOLD FOR $55... . Read the facts and spin, moan and groan, but they won't change. .
