"...Are you too big a fool to admit Brinker would have been better to recommend 5 YR CDs or Treasuries to people he recommended CA GO Bonds to?..." Kirk there you go again! Incredible! You don't even KNOW anything about the CA GO bonds that Brinker "recommended" and yet you make a silly statement that 5-yr CDs or Treasuries would have been a "better" investment. How can you make such a blanket idiotic statement...and you don't even MENTION ANYTHING about the investors tax bracket! BTW, I also saw your totally erroneous statement at one of your spam site that said CDs weren't callable. Many CDs ARE in fact callable as well as being marked-to-market and will be called away in a minute as rates change....Your reader/subscriber will not learn this from you....nor much else either. Please tell us Kirk, what is the total dollar amount of pre-refunded CA GOs? Are you telling your subscriber that she can get as much as an effective 10% tax equivilant yield on many of the pre-refunded issues? That's a pretty good yield on a T Bond huh Kirk?
