So Retired was supposed to know that Brinker didn't have a friggen clue about this and yet Math tells me that he should have listened more closely to Brinker's unrelated to the QQQ trade or the bulletin's advice. You guys need to get together. So it's Retried's fault that Brinker with a 6 hr infomericial that colors the truth of his record, a history of self promotion on the net under aliases, at the time a cadre of koolaid drinkin cult members thinking themslves "schmardt" investors and acting as lackies for Brinker's self promotion and adding to the myths that were building about his infallable investment calls, didn't realize he was a crook without a clue about trading. Nice try. "If Retiredinprescott was entranced by Bob’s “mystique” and lost all that money, I feel sorry for him but the blame can not be laid at Bob’s feet." Who sent that bulletin and skulked around the internet and touted his worth on the radio shamelessly and not always accurately....David Letterman?

Oh, and Bob is a “casualty” when subscribers (and others) "modify" his advice and decide to do their own thing, then twist his words, then incorrectly blame him, then go whining to the national media. Preeeeee-cisely. Well said.

However: 1) Bob did NOT force Retiredinprescott to execute the trade. 2) Moreover, Retiredinprescott did not trade according to Bob’s recommendations. 3) Lastly, Retiredinprescott should have had the sense to put in a stop loss. He (and Bob) should have pulled the plug at an 8-10% loss " period " end of sentence! If Retiredinprescott was entranced by Bob’s “mystique” and lost all that money, I feel sorry for him but the blame can not be laid at Bob’s feet. Retiredinprescott is a "casualty" of not doing due diligence, not using stop losses and not employing appropriate hedging strategies whilst putting a whole lotta eggs in one basket. This is also known as "Drive-by Investing." Oh, and Bob is a “casualty” when subscribers (and others) "modify" his advice and decide to do their own thing, then twist his words, then incorrectly blame him, then go whining to the national media.>> --POST OF THE YEAR, no doubt about it!!! I don't know what has gotten into you, EQ, but here's my guess: You just happened to be listening last weekend when Mary called Brinker. Then you saw, with your own eyes, how the bashers spun, twisted, and perverted that call to suit their own malicious ends, and your eyes were opened! You're no fan of brinker (and neither am I, really; but I am thankful for his past help, and I still appreciate his input), but you are starting to realize that the bashers are no better than he is in their tactics. Maybe they are even worse! Please correct me if I am wrong about any of the above.
