Don't know Math. Some possible explanations are that Brimelow got it wrong in translating from the guys email. He might have been speaking of 50% of cash reseves--the amount Brinker recommended aggressive investors to use. I agree that this guy was not supposed to be in the aggressive group, but we have Dija who has claimed that right at retirement he was 100% equities which would be very aggressive. I assume if Brinker would have made this recommendation when Dija was in his go for broke aggressive stance he would have quite possibly took the aggressive recommendation Brinker gave them. As Brimelow points out regardless how dumb the audience getting the advice may be there is hardly a reason to have the recommendation NEVER CLOSED OUT now SIX YEARS LATER. It's Bob Brinker's dishonesty in this matter that seems totally bizzare to try to pull off in the age of the internet that interests me. Perhaps you could check with Brimelow and see if he still has the email and if he transcribed it properly.
