Yes Yogi.. the Brinker brigade has Bob Brinker's act down pat. The logic they use mirrors Brinker's hubris in reporting his performance and pitching the "idy" that he "got out of the market in 2000 and got back in the market in early 2003"...leaving out the amounts he left in the market and the fact that he espoused using up to ONE HALF the money to buy QQQs then trading around 80 and still down about 50%. In addition Brinker was pounding the table for aggressive investors to use up to 5% of a portfolio to buy TEFQX beginning in Jan. 2000 --kept it as a BUY until it fell about 90% and in the spring of 2001 moved it to a HIDE--never to be mentioned again. The QQQs for up to 1/3 of an entire portfolio which were purchased clearly with t he funds removed from the market in January went to the "Brinker Triangle"--that netherland where all bad advice vanishes and only winners continue being touted. Indeed after going through the Brinker triangle even his good advice becomes better. You would swear hearing Brinker and his syncophants these days that Brinker had gotten totally out of the market and claimed he was bearish at the time back in 2000--said exactly the opposite then..."I am NOT BEARISH" in his angry tones on the radio. And that he stayed totally out of the market until 2003. As you can see his syncophants with scales on their eyes and likely a few family shills promote this Brinker Triangle approach to accounting for Brinker's worth to the investor. If his advice works, well shazzam, the truth is stretched and it gets even better than what he actually said. If his advice leads a huge portion of one's portfolio into the dumper...pretend it didn't happen or that it is the investor's fault for not knowing that Brinker was totally clueless and leading them down the drain. You see in the land of make believe that Brinker (Don Lane/mistertopes) and his gang here inhabit, there are only good calls by Bob Brinker. For this crew it is not dishonest to hide the bad calls, it is simply the way things work in the Brinker Triangle of phoney accounting. Everyone would be a genius if they take mulligans on 40% of their portfolios (TEFQX/QQQs). Unfortunately they don't have brokerage statements you can send through the Brinker Triangle for the cleansing process. :)
