"I think it is a big deal when someone is demonized for giving their own personal testimony about how Brinker's advice affected them. I've seen it happen dozens of times before..." Ah, but every single one of these sob stories about how Brinker ruined somebody's retirement have one thing in common. Not one person has come forward and admitted that they actually far exceed any recommended investment and whatever losses they suffered were caused in large part due to their own GREED. Milorose is no exception. He claims he lost a large chunk of his nest egg but he refuses to divulge the extent of his gamble which would lead one to believe that he far exceeded any responsible parameters. If this is not the case, let him simply post otherwise. Every single story of a ruined retirement is the same old song. Folks were greedily betting on a "sure thing" and lost.

honey said: I think it is a big deal when someone is demonized for giving their own personal testimony... "Demonized"? Are you kidding? Someone makes a statement, someone questions the statement or disagrees. That's the way it works. That's what I mean by exaggeration and distortion!

If he wasn't lying, he would stick around, answer questions, and explain to us how this happened. Anyone who thinks he's telling the truth is naive AND ignorant of the facts. See paulnewmanhero. This is why queen and I and math and others are here. If we weren't here, the bashers would be able to get away with this kind of B.S.
