"Was it not "Don Pueblo" who I believe used to be "cOUSIN sHORTY" who lost the $400,000 from the SI investors?" No, I've never heard of him. I was speaking of this guy investment.suite101.com Christian Kis, who posted here as Velociraptor I bet there were many others.

Yogizuna said: <<I will never understand the way Brinker handled the QQQQ mess, because it would have been far better for him and all concerned if he did it differently, and handled all calls on the matter in a humble manner and with great respect for those who lost their money on his extremely bad call and lack of leadership after the fact. That is simply not the way a true professional in the field behaves when fouling up in a major way.>> --I agree, yogi, although I'm not absolutely certain that he would have done as well, financially, with that strategy. However, he would have had the respect of a lot of people, and he probably didn't really need the money anyway. Another thing that I will never understand is the hatred that so many people have for him. I too lost money on the QQQs, but I simply took action on my own to get out of the trade, and moved on. I have lost a lot of respect for brinker as a result of his actions, but I don't have any hate for him at all.
