You are letting the lying shills masquerading as morons get you off message. Read what you wrote. Brinker said it twice....

He said:

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....."

So Brinker admitted he owned some of the bonds he recommended on the radio but he was unwilling to make a recommendation going forward.

It reminds me of recommending TEFQX for up to 5% then saying "almost all our money" was not in TEFQX to avoid admitting it was one of his worst recommendations ever.

It also reminds me of how he touted Luuuuuuuuuucent all the way up from $8 to $60 then when it went to penny stock status, he said "he gave up on it" but never owned up to riding it down without selling any near the top.

Who gives a damn if he owns any at all? His advice on the radio was for his listeners, not a disclosure of what he was buying. He owed them follow-up advice, especially now that CA won't be able to pay its bills unless it can break the log-jam between tax and spenders vs "spend less" folks.
