To be fair, while I have seen Octavian point out spin, bias, and inaccuracies posted by others, I don't think I've seen him "over-justifying Brinker capabilities, performance and record." Maybe he is too cleaver for you to see through but those of us with better skills of observation see him do it often. For example, he has said Brinker was better than all the others in the 1990s (which was not true) He also falsely says nobody else predicted the bear market. I pointed out just the other day that Brinker went on a Cassandra Rant when others pointed out we were headed for a recession, were on CNBC predicting the DOW would go lower, etc.... I consider it LYING for Octavian to keep repeating this nonsense after we've pointed out numerous times he was wrong.

There is a VERY good reason yaetmo didn't want to "bother" posting examples. -:) <<I have seen him say that one has to be their own advisor and make investment decisions for themselves, which I agree with.>> --Thank you. Some people don't like that idea, because then they won't have anybody to blame for their errors besides themselves! -:)
