--I wonder what percentage of Brinker's subscribers actually follow a model portfolio. Probably not many, but people who want to achieve the kind of performance they see in Hulbert's probably need to use the portfolios that Hulbert is reporting on, or at least something substantially similar in asset allocation and character of investments. Queen and I both follow Brinker, but neither of us took our QQQ money out of "cash reserves" because we weren't following a model portfolio. Ae you saying that you had to own a model portfolio to have cash reserves?

"Over the years, I have probably known about 10 people who subscribed at one time or another to the newsletter, and not a single one of them actually followed one of the portfolios." Octavian, I usually try to stay away from discussions about how many of Brinker's subscribers took this or that advice, but since you brought it up, and you're talking about a specific group of people, how many of those ten people put enough into the QQQ trade to seriously hurt their portfolios?
