I know Brinker had a big following until his debacle in late 2000 with that QQQ call. At the time his aggressive model portfolio was 65% cash, and he recommended sinkng 30-50% of the cash into QQQ at about 83 for a countertrend rally. As far as I know, that trade has never been closed. He made that call at the height of his popularity, and it cost a lot of people (I know some) a lot of money.
