Like I said, I agree with you about the "hiding" part.

Mr. Yogi, You must understand that with Math it is a reflex to defend Brinker. Even in the indefensible QQQ trade his natural inclination is to mitigate the deception. Similarly of course Math has given Brinker a total pass on touting UTEK for a long while as his only buy in the late 90s without disclosing that he had a fee based relationship with UTEK. The crux of Math's argument is that if you were not present at the meetings where Brinker was selected to be paid by UTEK and know for sure that there was a quid pro quo, then it was totally ethical. Like the QQQ fiasco, Brinker tried to cover up his relationship with UTEK. That speaks volumes. When confronted with evidence that Jr. posted on this board as himself Math from his corner claimed that it could be someone else because "just because I can't give you a possible explanation doesn't mean there is not one.". :) His latest bend over backwards for Brinker comes with the new commercial for Junior's new pamphlet on old Brinker's show. Brinker goes to commercial saying it's Bob Brinker's moneytalk--and the voice begins touting "The Brinker Fixed Income Advisor" to geezers telling them that it will steer them to returns on their retirement savings. There is no declaration before during or after that the person that is editor and publisher of this newsletter is not Bob Brinker the radio host but his kid who has dropped the Jr. and middle initial from his name and seems devoid of any financial industry experience. Math immediately came to defense of this some would say deceptive practice and indignantly proclaimed 'I don't know who is the publisher and editor of that newsletter and I would bet neither do you" About 5 minutes later I gave him the page, one of probably 50 links on the front page of Jr.s Fixed Income Advisor that stated clearly that Jr. (did not go by that suffix) was the editor and publisher and his wife was also the editor. Then Math's alibi for this deception was " Well there you are anyone can find out that Jr. was the editor and publisher so there is no deception"..... Well yes..if the geezers given the website and a telephone number (which most likely they would use I think) go to the website and click on all the links and find the right one. But why would they think anything but Bob Brinker the radio host was putting out this newsletter??? So Math then seemed to decide that wasn't a particularly winning strategy for his alibi for anything Brinker does and his latest position is that "Its making a mountain out of a molehill". It really doesn't matter according to Math if people are decieved by the ad on Brinker's show and think the host is the editor and publisher and not a young person with apparently no experience in the financial industry. If Brinker was caught holding up a bank, Math would swear that it was the bank's fault and the teller likely wrote the note and put a gun in his hand. Odd how quick he is to judge those who are critical of the man though. I guess though he gets a little pat pat on the noggin from the Brinker's now and then and that is enough to keep him in alibis.
