Jonathan, I think he'd say find a new broker, or better yet, manage your money yourself. (do you think his recommendation would be .."complain forever.")

Also, there is a conspicuous lack of that mockery from his show lately, don't you think? We're probably all glad about that, and no doubt his mistakes are a big part of the reason.

In response to message posted by Jonathon:

let's see, care to take a guess how much of my portfolio is overweighted in high tech crap stocks based on following brinker's recommendations?

Well Jonathon, I can't guess..and that is your business, anyhow. If you want to tell the class, fine.

Somehow I think deep down you're grown up enough to know it is your own doing, and I don't care to beat you up about that.

So no plans to get in any more from ANYONE else's advice?.. or for that matter, get out?

» Will_L - Can you Imagine

I would wager that Brinker has lost a huge amount of money since his January 2000 "not bearish call".

Recall he said his call didn't include the Nasdaq. He was touting that B2B fund. He was holding Msft and Vod and Utek. He was bragging about Lucent. He told lots of callers that he was heavy in technology but he was very well versed in technology and understood it well and was comfortable being overweighted there.

He told people that T was a great buy in the mid 40s.

He told people --even people apparently not as well versed in techology to buy up to 1/3 of their portfolios in QQQs.

We know that Brinker cannot admit to being wrong --especially after that panic "sell at 84" in the summer of 2000. So I would wager he rode a slew of tech down and probably gave away most of the gains of the ninties.

I would bet that few has a personal portfolio that has done worse. If you notice all of his posts under Don Lane, that talked about individual stocks, were tech stocks. You notice that he was caught up in the fever of the technology boom as much as anyone else. His performance in portfolio I in 99 was due to his tremendous overweighting in technology, the Nasdaq was up 90% that year.

I'll bet part of the reason Brinker is in denial and in hiding and "pretending" to be bearish is that he can hardly stand to look at his own portfolio. Ya live by the sword, you sometimes get cut pretty bad. smile

Jonnythong..if it was such terrible advice, why are you still following it? That really cracks me up. Why don't you ask Kirk and the other bashers how you should rebalance your holdings? I mean, here you are bashing Brinker's advice as the worst thing in the world, and yet, after 2 1/2 years of whining, you are still following it. Don't you see just the slightest bit of irony there. It's got me LOL.

In response to message posted by walkerman:

I would guess Steve R, that Jonathan like many of us realize that Brinker is quite the scamster, from being a tech bull in what he calls a bear market, touting a stock that he has an undisclosed deal in which the stock is paying him, to being dishonest in what he does with funds he moves to "hold" and then "hides" to keeping the recommendations that go down out of his performance--to being obnoxious on the net under an alias Don Lane, to handling his website in a despicable manner.

Therefore since Brinker is trying to hide all of this information and has a number of shills around to act as enablers--like some here, Jonathan and others think it is important to let the truth be told somewhere. Here is the only place I know that people can learn the truth about Brinker.

I do believe that is about to change and the situation will become more widely known. If I were Brinker I would follow his soulmate Martha Stewarts lead. She hired Brunswick-a public relations firm to try to rehabilitate her image.

» Kirk - Re: I'm still waiting

In response to message posted by walkerman:

Well Kirkster, I'm still waiting for your analysis of how HWP has done, since you are "holding" it.

Walkerman... You must be mistaken. Unlike your man who only issued a BUY of TEFQX and QQQ damn near the top for both, ($87 being much closer to $115 than $24) I was selling HWP all along since i left the company in 1998. Of course, I "held" some of my shares as I felt the company was a good one, and I still think the Agilent part is great, but I sold far more HP near the top than I currently hold... and my cost basis is still in the several dollars range... What did your guy pay for Lucent, btw and what is its cost basis, huh? I don't recall ANY profit taking from your guy in Lucent... or Vod.... or MSFT... but then again those were only for bragging purposes when the market was going up much like my HWP company stock.

If you want to pick some duds for my picks, try WCOM or CACS where I tried to catch a bottom and was much too early. Funny about those picks is they are recorded in my newsletter portfolio and even with them I am still beating the S&P500, even this year!

In response to message posted by steve99:

You are the one that lost 91% in the stock picking contest,here? Please ,keep the advice coming.

No you dweeb, that was ME smile ! I was using one of Bob's previously favored stocks LUCENT. I figured it was similar enough to the QQQs except he could squirm out of it because it never got into a bulletin. Phew, that was a close one!

I believe Will has done quite nicely but you can't use your calculator. Try an abacus, it may be more your speed.

You really have to pay attention, the stock picking contest ISN'T ADVICE it's a game. That's like using the office football pool as advice on how to bet on games. Ridiculous you dweeb.
