"Please note: In late 2000, Brinker forecasted a several-month bear market rally and recommended an investment in the NASDAQ 100 Index?"a trade that turned out quite unprofitably. However, because Brinker at the time of making this forecast chose not to make this trade part of his model portfolios, his HFD record has not suffered as a result." __ March 2008 by Mark Hulbert on Pg 3 of the March 2008 issue of "The Hulbert Financial Digest" kirk asked: <<How much value do you place in a rating service that measures Brinker's timing yet leaves out his QQQ timing advice?>> --Hulbert DIDN'T "leave it out," as you so graciously PROVED in the paragraph above.

"...How much value do you place in a rating service that measures Brinker's timing yet leaves out his QQQ timing advice? I think "worthless" for those doing comparisons between Brinker and buy and hold the Wilshire 5000 is being generous but "extremely valuable" in the "you scratch my back and I'll scratch your back with free plugs" department..." But Kirk, you have been asking, if not begging, folks to write to Hulbert on your behalf for YEARS. Both you and Korn have tried everything you can think of to get your newsletters recognized and covered by Mark Hulbert. But to no avail...so now you say his service is probably worthless anyway! Yeah, and those grapes were probably a little sour too.
