No problem. I agree posting on the other forum is a waste of time... unless you like mud wresting with pigs... which I do on occasion enjoy. They just HATE it that I was 100% right about Brinker over a decade ago.... and I've gone on the record to show one can do better. What I find sad is people like Brinker have a responsibility to use their reach responsibly but he seems far more interested in making as much money as he can while leading people on with the FALSE belief he can time the market and help them make more than simply buying 120% less their age in VTSMX with the balance in total bond, VBMFX. I've wondered how many couldn't figure out why they don't get the great returns the caller brag of so they pay the management company he advertises on and off in his newsletter a 1.8% fee to put them into the balanced portfolio...... Can you imagine paying the management company that uses Brinker's name and he has advertised on his web site and newsletter 1.8% for $100,000 MINIMUM to lose roughly 10% more after fees than half in total stock market and half in total bond fund for 2008!
