Then I was correct, brinker did NOT SAY that the "ONLY GOs (he) would own are those backed by U.S. treasuries." However, unlike you bashers, I will NOT accuse newslettercheat of lying. I will assume that he read that bad information somewhere and, BECAUSE IT REFLECTED POORLY ON BRINKER, accepted it as true! Or, he read something into your transcript that wasn't there.

Let's see, TWO TIMES Brinker says, "almost all" and his head-shill wants to give him a pass on a major deception because he didn't say ALL. What disgusting nitpicking to cover for a snake oil salesman!! Bob Brinker said: "That's a personal decision, Pamela. I really can't tell you what to do with your bonds. I have some California bonds, but in almost all cases my bonds might be different than your bonds and I'll tell you why. The bonds that I own have Treasuries behind them. In other words, they've been prerefunded by earlier transactions by the state and backed by Treasuries. So in almost all cases, the California bonds that I own are actually backed by Treasuries and are not backed by the State of California....." .

MOSCOWbee said: As all can see, Brinker indicated that the ONLY CALIFORNIA BONDS HE OWNED were "different" in that they were guaranteed by the Treasury. MOSCOWbee later quotes Bob: So in almost all cases, the California bonds that I own are actually backed by Treasuries and are not backed by the State of California. eq says: Thankfully, I am not a member of your *As all can see club.* If Bob said IN ALMOST ALL CASES, could not one deduce that he DOES have CA bonds that are not backed by Treasuries? I think MOSCOWbee may have just painted herself into a big, RED corner. Of course as always, I am willing to take other points of view (from rational people) under consideration. eq
