Not when he recommended the use of the same model portfolio cash reserves twice. .

I think it is valid to include because the QQQQ was a specific timing recommendation. Bob Brinker bills himself as a marketimer, hence that is his focus and not coincidentally the name of his newsletter. He doesn't call his newsletter a stock newsletter or fund newsletters as others are. This was the only other market timing recommendation he made between December 31, 1999 and March 2003, and it specifically referenced using cash that one would have by following his timing recommendation in the Jan 2000 newsletter. That's why I think it should be included in his performance evaluation. I happen to be in a position that I can relate to you, anecdotally at least, that many many of my subscribers followed his timing advice and viewed the QQQQ as a part of that. Incidentally, it was the first use of the bulletin feature of his web site, followed by delivery in the mail. - David Korn
