david k. said to math: <<Bob should reference their performance in his newsletter advertising, plain and simple. I think it is a testament to his character that he does not, don't you?>> --David, do you believe brinker should also include the 1987-90 period in his advertising? Also, what if a newsletter writer had annual returns something like this: year one: -30% year two: +70% year three: -30% year four: +40% year five: -10% Do you think it would be ok for him to advertise his 2 and 4-year performance record, rather than the standard one, three and five?

"Richard, you are funny sometimes, I never really could understand your angle." So in your world, everyone has to have an angle? One of my hobbies is poking holes in the arguments of the self-righteous. "My objective has always been to be honest about Brinker." So why, then, did you argue in favor of an analysis of his work in which the ONLY off-the-books advice considered was one of his biggest failures? The justification you gave seems designed more to produce a certain result than to get at the truth. "Bob should reference their performance in his newsletter advertising, plain and simple." That point is not in dispute. "I think it is a testament to his character that he does not, don't you?" I think the tactics of some of his detractors also says something about character.
