Bob Brinker Data

[Stockalot]

Larry, with your irrelevant conclusions based on what you or someone else did with Brinker's advice you make my point.

To claim that this advice based on using the same CASH RESERVES that Brinker raised in Jan 2000, doesn't count proves the bogus nature of your work here.

"Marketimer is projecting a significant countertrend rally which is expected to be led by the Nasdaq 100 index. We expect this rally to persist over a period of approximately 2 to 4 months and to generate Nasdaq gains in excess of 20% from the vicinity of the recently established closing low point.

We view this projected Nasdaq rally as a significant trading OPPORTUNITY for marketimer subscribers seeking potential short term capital gains. Our clear vehicle of choice for this OPPORTUNITY is the Nasdaq 100, which is traded on the American Exchange under the ticker symbol QQQ.

We recommend marketimer subscribers with AGGRESSIVE objectives invest 30% to 50% of existing CASH RESERVES in the QQQ shares to exploit this OPPORTUNITY. Also we recommend subscribers with CONSERVATIVE investment objectives invest 20 to 30% of existing CASH RESERVES in the QQQ shares to take advantage of this OPPORTUNITY.

Marketimer will provide follow up guidance for this short-term opportunity in regular monthly editions and if necessary in follow-up bulletins.

We recommend marketimer subscribers interested in taking advantage of this recommendation to ACT IMMEDIATELY."

Because you didn't understand the clarity of the advice above or chose for any reason not to follow it does not change the fact he gave the advice for the same money he took out of the market in Jan 2000. Thus he could not be given credit for investing these same monies in March 2003 that he recommended using in Oct 2000.

Because you didn't take his advice and I said he was dangerous and it was a stupid recommendation, doesn't change the fact he made the advice and people trusting him (goobers and geezers these days) took the advice.

One can readily see that he was anxious for all subscribers to take advantage of that bulletin. While Larry wants to hide it, the wrap fund that Brinker advises under the banner of the BJ group did the exact same thing as he promoted in the newsletter. The difference of couse was that it was "REAL MONEY" and Larry and Bob Brinker could not hide the results by saying "We didn't include the QQQs in our performance"--You see in the link below the BJ group deals in "REAL MONEY"

So when you judge Brinker's performance the most obvious benchmark is how he did in PUBLISHED data using ALL OF HIS ADVICE investing REAL MONEY. There is only ONE SINGLE document in the whole history of Brinker that I am aware of that shows his performance in such conditions.

Thus here is the result you get when you take ALL OF BRINKER"S advice with REAL MONEY.

You see you can't spin and hide performance when he uses REAL MONEY Larry. Sorry but all else is simply opinion or spin--totally useless to the serious investor.
