MSFT was a HUGE winner, and subscribers broke about even on UTEK! (I don't know how ONTK and STII did, so I can't comment on those. But UTEK is a poor choice by you if you are trying to downplay MSFT). << Since he had a 4% limit on stocks, it would be hard to have any meaningful change in reported results with a position limited to 4% in any of these...>> --Either your memory is faulty, or you are spinning again in an effort to downplay Brinker's successes. During the height of the tech bull, many callers said they were up hugely in MSFT, and wanted to know if they should be selling down to 4%. Bob told them it was OK to hold onto MSFT as long as the COST-BASIS was no more than 4%. So, many people who did exactly what he said, made HUGE amounts of money before he finally advised cutting the entire holding down to 4%. And, of course, that advice cost people some additional short-term profits, but also kept them from getting crushed with their MSFT shares in the bear. It's very difficult to downplay the MSFT call without spinning. It was a huge, huge winner for Bob and his followers!
