Gary-"Brinker Effect" <<"If the Brinker effect is real--it has to be--then when he issues a 'sell,' the stock price may slick down exceedingly fast.">> If the Brinker effect is real: 1. How come the stock has dropped and stabilized since his initial recommendation? If the "effect" works when he issues a sell how come it seems to have had no effect when he issues a buy?? 2. Or does the "effect" only work in one direction??? (Please do not argue it would have gone down even further if he had not recommended buying it-lame argument from my perspective.) Hey, the fact is many people own Utek because of his recommendation. The fact also is, I suspect, that it is only a small portion of the investing population. I have absolutely no support for this assertion but I surmise that institutional investors and mutual funds buy and sell more Utek in one transaction than all small investors hold combined.
