I call this _____.>> --Kirk, it appears the advertisement is an old one. Is it still being used today? If so, I would call it misleading. Since this is a brinker board, though, one would rightly have to ask how much input and control Brinker has over the advertisement. If he has none, then he's off the hook. The ad is/was about 24 hours old. It was being used yesterday and I took a screen shot of it. I will eventually post a picture of it when they get embarrassed into changing it. Given it was under Brinker's name for a wrap company that he advertises in his newsletter, I am underwhelmed by your response. When people LIED about how I posted my results, you were quick to repeat them as if they were truth. Also, you hammered me for years for posting my 2, 4 and 6 yr returns when my newsletter hit its 6th year.... Yet you are quick to offer excuses for Brinker who offers misleading at best advertising for managing money for a fee that clearly is designed to trick them into thinking he made a recent "bottom call" of value.
