On a recent visit to Las Vegas I was told by a sports guru to bet the ranch on the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl because John Elway would have the game of his life. The pick was Denver as an 11 point underdog and the reason was Elway's greatness. Well, I bet the ranch on Denver and guess what. The guru was totally right about his pick of Denver as a great 11 point underdog bet since they made it close and easily won with the 11 point cushion in hand. However Elway played like a jokester and was pathetic. Am I mad at the guru for giving me such a great pick on Denver because Elway played poortly. Why should I be? I cashed the winning bet for bigtime bucks because the guru made the right pick. I feel the same way about Brinker's recommendation to sell New Asia on July 11 at 9.15 before the meltdown. When he was in Rochester New York he told the audience "I had no way of knowing there would be a meltdown but if you want to give me credit for it I'll take it". Everybody laughed heartily at Brinker's joke. If they could see the ridiculous posts of RIllinois, Dippy et al, they would undoubtedly laugh just as loud at these buffoons. I have never read or heard Brinker take credit for predicting an Asian meltdown. But then again, why should he, since he got everybody out on July 11 BEFORE the meltdown. I like that.
