While it is true that it is irrelevant where people got the cash--generally speaking, what is not irrelevant is that Brinker recommended using 20-50% of cash reserves that were raised from his model portfolios. The bulletin didn't say anything about model portfolios, so his recommendation applied to all cash reserves, not just ones raised from model portfolios. He recommended that subscribers (who were actually following the advice that they were paying Brinker for) use those specific cash reserves raised in January/August 2000. If you mean the specific cash reserves raised from model portfolios, his recommendations for that appeared on pages two, seven, and eight of the November issue, and anyone who wanted to be in a model portfolio from then on would have had to sell their QQQ in order to do so. If subscribers or listeners did more or less that is completely irrelevant to what Brinker recommended. His recommendations are what matter. I think we agree on that. The only thing I don't get is how anyone can think they're being objective or honest when they argue that we should ignore Brinker's November 2000 model portfolio recommendations on pages two, seven, and eight. Brinker is failing to report results for a major call, but the problem is NOT in his model portfolio reporting, it's in the fact that they are the ONLY thing he reports.
