But then, according to Hulbert, you would have to "take to task" at least 8 of the 9 market-timers with the best long-term records.

Last Saturday was the first time that Brinker mentioned "pre-refunded" California General Obligation Bonds. Always before, he has simply said he owned them, and reassured callers that they are safe -- nary a word about his bonds "being different" (like he said Saturday). I wrote this about the October 4, 2008 Moneytalk program: "Brinker is adamant that California General Obligation Bonds are safe. He said he owns some of them. Here is one of many examples of a poster who was smart enough back in October to see that Brinker might be wrong when he emphatically told callers that California was too big to fail and California Bonds are safe. "mh said... Bob Brinker is to close to the forest to see the trees. I use to subscribe to his news letter. He has said my state of California is financial secure, there bonds are safe etc, Now Gov Sxhwarzenegger wants to borrow $7 billion from Washington. I can't believe anyone now. When we recalled the last gov Gray Davis ,everyone said the state was going broke, the state budget was $97 billion, now the budget is $147 billion. The country is full of crooks and Brinker can't blame his mistakes on them. October 3, 2008 6:49 PM .

"Queen and others"? LOL. I haven't been here for quite some time, but the conversation I saw today was something off the wall and off-topic about Putin and Obama as bed partners or "hunks" or something like that....so I don't think it was I who changed any conversations. Personally, I agree that it doesn't belong here, but as long as that kind of post is staring us in the face, fair to say it's pretty low-class, is my opinion. Oh, BTW, I personally don't believe you're a "a novice poster but longer observer" here as you claim. Interesting that you haven't jumped on anyone about these off-topic posts until I post once in a blue moon. Seems like you must have just been waiting for me to say something you could pounce on, "novice poster". Just my speculation, but I'm betting you're someone who's quite transparently just using a "new poster" ID. Just my opinion.
