Kirk, I seem to recall you telling us several weeks ago that you were leaving this board. Is this the only place left where you can post? Cheerio! Elan

"The point being, that they all use spin, cover-ups and other things to make themselves look as good as possible." kirk replied: <<Your first post implied that I didn't post honest results. That implication is a lie.>> --I didn't imply any such thing. In fact, I don't even believe for one second that you post dishonest results. Anyone can go to my "first post" (ends in 547) and see for themselves that there was no such implication. The only things I have ever said about your posting of results are: 1) You once posted 2, 4 and 6-year results because they made you look a lot better than the traditional 1, 3 and 5 did. 2) I have asked you to post year-by-year results, and for some reason you have declined to do it. <<.... similar to how I present my record in the best light, long term success unless the very short term is noteworthy in the positive, and what Brinker and Cramer do with their records, active cover-ups.>> --You're not covering up your year-by-year results? Maybe your subscribers can see them, but if I want to buy a mutual fund, I can get that info BEFORE I buy! <<Your inference that I am "just as bad" as Brinker is not only a lie but insulting.>> --Again, I made no such inference in post 547. I HAVE in the past said you are as bad as brinker in many ways. All you "critics" are. But as far as I know, you haven't done anything to compare in any way with bob's coverup of the QQQ fiasco. All I said was that almost all financial-advice salesmen use spin, innuendo, lying by omission, etc. to put themselves in the best possible light, and you admitted as much in the post I am responding to. Obviously, some will go farther than others to put themselves in the best possible light. <<Again, your constant implications over the years that I am "no different" than Brinker is both insulting and a lie. You've been told it is not true and given evidence and testimony by many yet you CONTINUE to repeat the lies which makes you a member of the lying pieces of "excrement" class of people.>> --Well, thanks for keeping the discussion civil. -:)
