However, I must say that in regards to stockalot's quote above, there are *some* things that we just KNOW, even if we can't actually PROVE them.

Octavian, that's called an OPINION, LOL!

The claim that Brinker's subscribers somehow needed him to tell them to sell if they wanted to hold a model portfolio and had something that Brinker's recommendations on page eight did not include, seems very insulting to Brinker's subscribers, and completely implausible.

What Brinker "wanted" was completely irrelevant. What he wrote and recommended is the only thing that matters (and it's certainly the only thing that's provable). However, since people seem to want to speculate on what was in his mind, I guess I might as well join in:

My guess is that the reason Brinker didn't explicitly tell people to sell QQQ if they wanted to be in a model portfolio is that he didn't want to admit that he screwed up by not specifying in the bulletin whether the model portfolios were participating or not. Thus, he may have wanted people to put two and two together without his having to say it.
