SweetSue said: <<Let's talk facts. Has she said anything that is not true about Brinker?>> --Absolutely. Just today, she said (on another board) that he is posting here under the name of Yelvington. The truth is, Yelvington is a basher. << If so, please set the record straight. Has she left anything out? If so, please fill us in.>> --It would take me a year to go through all her posts on all boards and list the innaccuracies. Let's just say that most of the time her innaccuracies are of the spin, exaggerate, omit type, rather than flat-out errors or lies. One example would be her constant hammering about the QQQ call and the supposedly huge losses people suffered because of it, without bothering to mention that anyone following the Jan. 2000 call and the QQQ call was not hurt. <<You say that, in your opinion, Brinker is not "doing anything to harm his listeners" by not informing them that he has decided that the secular bear market megatrend which he said started in March 2000, ended a year ago in June 2006. I submit that his silence about this on his radio program has the potential to financially harm many listeners who are currently investing with the belief that Brinker still believes the stock market is in a cyclical bull which is running under the (Brinker's word) "headwinds" of a secular bear megatrend.>> --If they are 100% invested and waiting for a sell signal before making a move, how could it harm them? <<Brinker's claim that the market had entered an 8-20 year secular bear megatrend was a major miscalculation on Brinker's part.>> --Why thank you! My brinker-bashing female friend never would concede that point, preferring to say he simply used the secular bear as a marketing tool. (Remember what I told you about her always putting the worst possible spin on everything regarding Brinker)? << It shows a real lack of market analysis ability on his part.>> --Maybe. But he certainly was not alone. And the call had nothing whatsoever to do with his model. It had to do with patterns of market history. <<Why do you suppose NOONE has been allowed on the air to talk about the secular bear market for months now?>> --The answer is obvious. As I said before, I stated my opinion on the subject shortly after David K. opened this board.
