My point was to say Abby "lost her current position as a market prognosticator" at GS for being about as bullish as Brinker and giving similar results. So you misspoke when you said she was fired. Everybody misspeaks from time to time. Perhaps you will remember that in the future.

Kirk: Queen, I suggest you and your Brinker entourage leave the personal attack at the Brinker ranch and talk about facts here. Suggestion: noted. Question: Is Kirk the moderator here? Question: Where is the "personal attack"? Fact: No "entourage" exists, as far as I know. As far as I know, those who post one way or the other, are all posting their own thoughts, without consultation with Brinker or any others. Fact: Over the course of his career, Brinker has not always been bullish. Fact: Cohen is correctly characterized as a "perma-bull". Nothing wrong with that. Looking over the years of her career compared to what the stock market has done, she's been right more than wrong, just as Brinker has been. End of correlation. Fact: Seems post seeks to correlate Brinker to Cohen. Difficult to see the reasoning behind post which correlates Brinker to Cohen in current instance, except for the fact that this is a Brinker board. Hence the comment "poor excuse" re post.
