Your point is very well thought out. We can only hope Brinker never reads these boards to see how many people like caller Jerry are making it a fulltime job to try to catch him making a forecasting mistake. He would be very wise indeed to just pack up his bags and walk out of ABC forever and never again have to face the likes of Jerry or anybody else like him. He does not need this and he certainly does not deserve this. And then, at that point, everybody who follows his advice can go back to guessing which way the market is headed and when. Meanwhile, Brinker can sit in front of his computer and enjoy the investing process he has taught us for so many years. I very much doubt we are going to have Brinker to kick around for much longer. Look for him to be gone sooner rather than later.
