Duh... do you know what "COULD" means? Brinker could shoot you in the head but it is illegal so he probably won't.... get it? I said they COULD do it... they have the cash to call the GO bonds (that Brinker recommended) from bonds sold at lower yields, but they escrow the money in USTs until they are allowed to give it back to you. It is a silly point because the bond loses some value compared to if it was not callable and called... since the time value of money means your investment is worth less because you have to eventually invest the funds you get back at lower rates.... you make less $ than you planned. Do you get that? That is ALL I've been trying to explain without writing a freaking book on how callable bonds work. you guys are absurd... Also.... It doesn't change the fact Brinker failed to give the lady caller advice on what to do with the bonds he RECOMMENDED on the RADIO as a safe investment. All I know for sure is you guys bend over backwards to pick nits in anything that any of us Brinker critics post. Do you even get a slight clue why we doubt your veracity? Look... if it was great advice, who thinks Brinker would have given a different answer after he broke his arm patting himself on the back?
