I asked about exaggerations regarding his investment advice, not the personal stuff And you asked about that because I said this: In following the [Brinker] discussions, I found people saying many things that I knew to be blatantly untrue, or exaggerated beyond recognition, simply for effect. I stay because I find it entertaining to "poke holes in their logic" as math says. So I wasn't talking about his investment advice. As far as investment advice, he's done a good deal of good things in educating beginning and intermediate investors. And he's made mistakes, but it's never been done with the deliberate deception that they repeatedly charge. Why would any investment adviser deliberately lead his clients to lose money. Every investment counselor makes bad calls sometimes. They say it's not his mistakes, but his "covering up" his mistakes that is so wrong. He has said he was wrong more than once, but that doesn't satisfy them. They have emptily talked about his being "tarred and feathered". Maybe that's the only thing that would satisfy them. They seem to want to destroy him professionally, but that's just so much tilting at windmills. I have to conclude that the whole bunch labors under the delusion that they are far more important than they truly are. Stick around, you'll see the exaggeration, distortion, misinterpretation, bias and animosity if you have an open mind. Your comments in the short time you've been here, such as " I guess Bob's arrogance, condescending attitude toward those who disagree with him, and belittling of anyone who questioned his ability is what really got to me", "because I am sick of Brinker bragging about GNMA" and complaints about the "act immediately bulletin" indicate that you've been around a while and have already made up your mind.
