Now you know better than that Pete. You've admitted you knew that Don Lane (mistertopes) was Bob Brinker. Now you claim the guy you vouch for is always honest and giving the straight scoop as he knows it. Well let's take a little look at ole Bob as Don Lane pimping his site here and rather dishonestly bragging about his stock pick of STII. I'm sure you agree if you don't know history it's bound to bite you in the butt. Same is true for the veracity of financial advisors I would say.

Just visited Brinker's new website at www.bobbrinker.com and
learned Brinker will make his first 1997 public appearance
in Rochester New York on October 7th to benefit the Children's
Hospital and celebrate WHAM's seventy-fifth anniversary. Anybody
here planning on attending to find out what Brinker is saying?
Brinker almost never appears in person....very rare indeed.
Also noticed website headline calling attention to Brinker's
next national television appearance on Friday October 17
on the Nightly Business Report on PBS TV. Perhaps he will update
his buy recommendation on Uniphase UNPH in January at 45 (now 64)
and Stanford Telecom STII at 16 (now 25). Average gain on these
two home runs of about 50% since January. Its like printing money!

There's your boy old Honest Abe bragging about "home runs" and "printing money".

OOPS--he got caught.

Don, and Stanford Telecom STII at 16 (now 25).
That is not true. Bob had a buy on STII at 28 in June of 1996. I know 'cause I am too bullish on this stock for about 1 1/2 years now and got excited when I heard Bob recommend it on NBR in June of last year.

"Its like printing money!" Hubris - Don.

Now your boy Bob, just thinks he is a little smarter than anyone else and if he talks enough he can get them to believe anything--kind of like that secular bear disappeared last year nonsense. So here he compounds his deception.

Based on your post I checked the transcript on the Nightly Business
Report page on AOL and confirmed my earlier comments. Brinker was
last on Nightly Business Report on PBS TV in January. He recommended
purchase of Uniphase at 45 (now 64 up 42% in six months) and
said Stanford Telecom was "on sale" and the stock was $16 adjusted
for the two for one split. Stock is now 25 for a 56% gain in six
months. Average gain for these two home runs is about 50%.
Brinker also predicted additional gains for the bull market and
they have developed as projected. Do not take my word for it.
Read the actual predictions as they appear in the Nightly Business
Report transcript posted on their AOL website for all to see.

I guess ole Bob mistertopes didn't look at the Gary Hart challenge---he's in trouble now. LOL how funny to watch this guy spin as they put the screws to his dishonesty eh Pete?

In January 97 he reiterated his buy recco made on May 31st of 1996. No need to verify for. In january the stock was at 16 and on June 1st the stock was at 28. I know because I was long at both times and I have seen his May 31st program and read about his January appearance.
-Mohan


OOPS he's CAUGHT--but watch how less than candid he continues to be.

Some were catching flack for saying anything about Brinker that was not 100% rah rah (bout like some would have it here today but back then it was nearly unhealthy on these threads to question Brinker under his alias of mistertopes

Yes Surfer--when I pointed out that as of July first, after five months, that triad of stocks were yet to break water I was flamed. But it goes with the territory here. Truman doesn't tolerate any wimps you know. Along those lines I'm sure Lars it taking it like a man in truant class right about now"

Oh oh--ole Bobby's in trouble now. You can bet he will not be linking the post--you'll see why soon.

These are the Brinker recs from January:

KANGAS: So you favor the small cap in the future?

BRINKER: Yes.

KANGAS: Over the large cap.

BRINKER: Especially now. The disparity between large and small cap is quite wide at this point, and I would I would look to include small caps here.

KANGAS: New suggestions?

BRINKER: Well, there's a proprietary technology company, Uniphase that has a technology that speeds the transmission of date with the use of fiberoptics. And Uniphase, I think, is going to make new highs this year. This stock was 60 a few weeks ago. It's trading at 45 now.

KANGAS: Symbol?

BRINKER: UNPH on the NASDAQ.

KANGAS: Okay. Anything else?

BRINKER: Well, last time we talked about Ultratech Stepper (UTEK). Now, here's a company that has a near monopoly on a unique piece of equipment that is used for MR thin film head manufacture. And I think Ultratech Stepper which was 25 on my last visit...

KANGAS: Now, 28 1/4.

BRINKER: It's 28 1/4. I think this stock will be in the 40s within a year.

KANGAS: Quickly now. You also gave this as the only clinker you had in that entire interview, Stanford Telecom (STII). It was at 55. It's now all the way down to 32. Out of it?

BRINKER: I would say no. I would say the stock is attractive here. It's on sale here, a very technology rich company, broadband wireless, personal satellite communications, cable modems. I think the stock's a buy.

(I pity the poor sap who picked up that last one at $55 on a previous rec. That's the trouble when you're a small fry and can only nibble one at a time. Probably why Brinker focuses on Funds instead of individual picks)"

Ouch--"his only clunker. It's getting interesting isn't it Pete? Still think Brinker was honest in the "home run" /"printing money" speel? :)

Now just as I would expect from Brinker here we have him under his alias that you were afraid would run away if you didn't kow tow to him (not your exact words but sentiment) instead of backpeddling trying to claim that he was right and these people were wrong. Now isn't it laughable how pathetic this gets--Kangas calls it a "clunker" and the price is on record with a guy who follows the stock closely. But that doesn't stop the spin machine. Wow what makes this guy tick?

Your post is very misleading. Brinker recommended Stanford Telecom
on Nightly Business Report in January at 32 before the stock split
two for one for a split adjusted recommended price of 16. The
stock is now 24 for a 50% gain in the six months since the January
recommendation to buy at 16. Also, Uniphase is now 66 for a gain
of close to 50% percent since the January purchase recommendation
at 45. The combination of Stanford Telecom and Uniphase has
risen about 50% during the six months since the January recom-
mendation. Also, UTEK is still regarded as attractive on weakness
below $24 and is currently trading in the 26-27 range. Surely
Brinker will be asked to update these recommendations when he
returns to national television on PBS on October 17. "

How's that for obfuscation? Think that'll work?

Don,
< Your post is very misleading. Brinker recommended Stanford Telecom on Nightly Business Report in January at 32 before the stock split two for one for a split adjusted recommended price of 16. >

Read the transcripts again. Kankas clearly says in the interview that
Bb's STII is "clinker". He recommended it first at $55 (pre-split).
Then, again in January re-recommended it at $32 (pre-split). So,
Don, if you choose to ignore the first time recommended price, then
please say so that you're following it only from January time frame.
Please do not twist the BB reocrds. BB is an honest man and he won't
like it.

Also, if any one followed UNPH and STII will know the bid/ask spread.
It's a joke. It used to be an average of 5% or so. UNPH is to be
3000 shares a day volume until few months back. I wish BB doesn't
recommend low volume no P/E stocks. It's kind of funny when he puts
down Coke's P/E as high, at the same time recommends UNPH with negative P/E. BB is the master of great market calls and a superb
educator of investments topics. I listen and respect his courageous
wisdom on predicting the markets. I wish I followed his market calls
instead buying UTEK and selling at a loss, when it went from $21 to
$14, back to $21, etc.

Regards,"

Guess not. Will Bobby stop digging? Nah not a chance. LOL

Don. with all due respect, you are the one who are misleading this thread. Brinker first recommended STII at 56 on May 31st 1996 on NBR. In January he reiterated his buy recommendation.

Charles, at first I thought that it is very possible that Don Lane is Mr. Brinker. But is highly unlikely. Mr. Brinker has class and is more graceful than this follower of his.

Now that's a knee slapper knowing what you know isn't it Pete? LOL

Now here he is still digging--"its always someone else's fault" with Brinker isn't it? Now as we can see he's been CAUGHT RED HANDED being disingenuous.

To: Cynic 2005 who wrote (1184) 8/15/1997 11:58:00 PM
From: mister topes of 33851

Your post is totally incorrect. Brinker's initial STII recommendation
on TV was at 28 adjusted for the two for one split earlier this year.
He again recommended the stock in January at 16 adjusted for the
same split. He never recommended the stock at 56 because it never
has traded at 56. Look it up. The all time record price is only
32! His January recommendation at $16 is up 50% in six months.
All stock prices must be properly adjusted for splits in order
to be correct. By not correcting STII for the two for one split
you are ignoring the fact that all shareholders now hold two
shares for every share purchased before the split. STII split two
for one earlier this year thereby adjusting the price two for one."

Now that was pretty weak wasn't it Pete? Bout like when someone catches Brinker on the radio being wrong or not honest isn't it? Well he couldn't intimidate the poster or hit the call drop button could he? LOL

Don, you must have had some dope. OK, I was using pre-split (56) and post-split (28) prices losely.

techstocks.com
techstocks.com

No confusion on those two posts. Only in the following post I mentioned the pre-split price.
techstocks.com

Pick your calculator and press 56 then the divided by button, followed by 2 and then = button. You will get 28. Get it?
As far as I am concerned I know exactly what I am talking about. My point is, you are touting as though Bob first recommended STII at 16 (post split) and helped you print money when it ain't so! You know and this thread knows and even Bob knows what I am talking about. Go to the Stanford Telecomm thread and see my contribution on that thread. Then tell me if you can still think that you can teach swimming to this fish. Now, stop this BS.
BTW, thank you for educating me on how stock splits work, your highness!
-Mohan

PS. Of course I am pi**ed off. Rather than admitting a mistake gracefully you chose to attack my credibility. "

Doesn't this last sentence explain the guy to a T ?

So Pete do you believe Brinker was giving his honest take or a self serving huge spin and was CAUGHT? LOL
