queen said: <<Brinker was so brilliant on the Jan. call that I can see some people deciding at that point he could do no wrong, and being so excited with the Oct. bulletin that they decided to blow right past what he recommended.>> --I agree. The fact is, I didn't like that QQQ idea at all. The only reason I invested a small amount was that brinker had been "so brilliant," not just on the Jan. call, but ever since I started listening to him in early 1993! And, the REAL TRUTH is, he has been EQUALLY BRILLIANT ever since the Oct. 2000 call was put into mothballs. That is what the bashers don't want people to know. THAT is why they keep harping on the QQQ call, all these years later!

"Obviously, I personally lost a whole lot more of my portfolio by not hearing and following Brinker's advice." I do not understand how that could be true unless you stayed "out of state" from January 2000 through Aug. 2000. During that time the market was often quite a bit higher than when people got the January 2000 letter. Indeed it was in the 1500s in August and likely was around that in March. Why did you claim you lost money by not getting the January newsletter until later? "Obviously, I personally lost a whole lot more of my portfolio by not hearing and following Brinker's advice." You had 8 months many times at the same or higher prices than called for in the January newsletter. Seems a bizzare claim for someone who wanted to follow Brinker.
