Kirk may or may not have made money on Citi, but certainly anyone who subscribed to his newsletter within many time-periods, and followed his advice, lost money on Citi. There's just no mathmatical (sic) way around that." I hope their losses are less than Bob Brinker's subscribers who bought the S&P 500 at one of his three buy levels earlier this year at 1450, 1300 or 1200. OUCH The cherry pickers here are most upset because they blew it by being 100% invested at 1565 per Brinker's advice so the day the market was down over 50% into the 700s!!!!, they had no money to buy things like Citi and some other stocks that have done well for me this past week. Time to start looking to take profits again! LOL Per Citi, anyone who was a new subscriber and bought Citi on my email alert last Thursday to buy, is sitting on some very nice gains... What do your friendly cherry picking experts here do? Do they give me credit for 10 years of making money on Citi while Brinker's best stock pick, MSFT, lost money over those same 10 years? Do they look at recent subscribers who took my advice that Citi, after failing support where I thought it was safe for a first nibble of a few shares.... hit my buy zone and is now up over a 30% in less than a week? (I recall Brinker making a big deal of POTENTIAL short term trades for 20% gains... UTEK and QQQ) From a subscriber last Friday: KL, Bought another 200 of Citi at $4.50 just before the bell. Or do they cherry pick my one trade that is under water, but if you add in the gains from the recent buy... could be about breakeven which would be well ahead of the S&P500 which is down maybe 40% over that period. Tough decisions but I am sure their creativity will think of some way to make making money look bad. 8-) BTW, anyone who owns an index fund and was 100% invested following Brinker's advice lost money on Citi too. Given my recent gains, they may have lost more... BTW2, what did Brinker recommend doing last week, harassing Kirk? Too bad he was 100% invested at the very top and may be missing MOABO.
