K: "Show me one example of when he raised cash then gave buy instructions where he didn't use the cash raised to buy it and I'll be happy to do the numbers for you." MJ: Is that carefully crafted argument for excluding some of his recommendations from consideration an example of your neutrality? I could ask you to calculate into Brinker's record the large percentage one of his former subscribers told me he lost holding Lucent all the way down from $60 to $2 because of a decade of Brinker saying how great Lucent was on the radio and how much he made on the stock since it's IPO at $6 and change.... but I won't since that was not a recommendation bought with cash reserves that his subscribers were told to "keep liquid" in money funds (not GNMAs) so they could act quickly when told. Why all the nit picking? Yes or no: Does Bob Brinker hide information MATERIAL to evaluating his performance record a newsletter subscriber should expect relative to buy and hold and/or asset allocation that he mocks? Is Bob Brinker honest? If a newsletter writer writes his letter in such a way as to tell half to stay in cash and half to buy a high beta security such as QQQQ, then is he honest to report ONLY the favorable results?
