Brinker has never ever recommended Peoplesoft period.
You are making this up completely. Never mentioned
the stock. A caller once mentioned the stock and he
said he does not follow it and never has.
End of story on Peoplesoft.

Yes, as of March Brinker continues to recommend a fully
invested position with challenge of Dow 10,000 this year.
Says markets can always correct up to ten percent or so
as has always been the case. Recent correction has
already reached ten percent is Nasdaq and 5.5% in Dow
and S & P.

Is there any truth to the rumor that Reuters is reporting
that a three-way merger is being discussed involving
Microsoft, Justabid.com and bobbrinker.com?
According to the rumor on Fleet Street in London,
Microsoft will issue ten shares of common stock
for each Justabid.com share, and ten shares for
each bobbrinker.com share to form the new behemoth.
According to the news service rumor, the new firm
will be renamed Microsoft-Justabob.com and the
new shares will trade on the Big Board under the symbol
MJ. According to the reports, Justabid.com and bobbrinker.com
shareholders will divide about $120 billion in the deal.
One fly in the ointment is a report that Justabid.com
CEO Justawerkinstiff wants additional shares in order to
pay for a non compete agreement. Bill Gates says the deal is
off if he has to continue to compete with Justabid.com & bobbrinker.com. Any news on this one?

Late buyers surged to the justabid.com post on Wednesday
afternoon in a frenzy to buy all available shares at whatever
price offered. Insiders say the buying frenzy was touched off
by renewed rumors on Fleet Street that Microsoft Bill Gates
is determined to swallow up both justabid.com and bobbrinker.com
in order to eliminate these pesky competitors, and Gates
is reportedly ready to meet justabid.com chairman
Justawerkinstiff's demand of 25 shares for each justabid.com
share. This would increase the total takeover to more than the
entire market cap of Microsoft, but Microsoft would acquire both
the justabid.com and bobbrinker.com domain names for all eternity,
which should provide some solace. Both justabid.com and
bobbrinker.com shares closed at record highs, however Microsoft
shares remained far below their old high as nervous shareholders
became concerned that Gates had lost his marbles by upping his
takeover bid. Reports now say Justawerkinstiff and Brinker could
divide over $200 billion if the deal goes through. In a new
wrinkle, justabid.com has announced it may never turn
a profit ever, no matter how long it remains in business.
This added to the buying frenzy in justabid.com shares as
internet stock junkies realized justabid.com may never be
burdened by the spectacle of a price/earnings multiple.
Justawerkinstiff remains in seclusion somewhere near Albany NY
trying to figure out whether he wants to take the money and
run or continue building losses for the future. Brinker was
reportedly on the golf course and did not seem to care much
about any of it.

If your timing model is approaching a potential point of
change, you should be cautious in making recommendations.
Suppose you recommended a bunch of stock just prior to
a bear market sell signal. Then those stocks would be
trying to go up in a down market. That certainly would
not be a good recommendation.

» DellaO - Project is Complete
.This is a complete compilation of the posts that Brinker made on the SI "Bob Brinker Market Savant and Radio Host Thread."
His last post was made on July 25, 1999--ten months after he made a post declaring that he was leaving the thread.
I would like to thank Steve T. for his great assistance in accomplishing this sizable project. He helped me in several ways, including help with locating links and posts.

A tentative script for the Goddess of Money's next appearance has
been approved. It goes like this:
"Hi Moneytalk listeners, I am the Goddess of Money. I am famous.
I am a superstar. I have appeared 75 times on Oprah, 65 times
on Geraldo, 55 times on Charles Grodin, 45 times on Letterman,
35 times on Leno, 25 times on CNN Moneyline and numerous other
times which I will omit so as not to sound self promoting.
My books are now on sale at your nearby bookstore. Go out and
buy them right away and read the words of a real money Goddess.
You can call me here if you want to, but I do not really need
you to call. Why? Because I am the famous money Goddess.
By the way, anyone out there no what the word equity means?"

» honeyoneohone - Brinker: Dow 2300 in 1990
.From: mister topes #1030 of 22119
You have again posted false information on this thread. Brinker
said repeatedly in April when he recommended buying into the
market under Dow 6600 that a rally to record highs would start
during spring and carry to historic new levels. He specified
this would include the Dow, the S & P and very possibly the
Nasdaq. He was right on all counts. As for his prediction
regarding 9000 in 1997, what difference does it make. Why
should investors expect the market to rise at a 24% annual
rate between now and December anyway? I have heard of greedy
investors, but this is ridiculous. Why not just predict Dow
100,000 in 1997. I am sure you would find some takers. Perhaps
Greenspan was correct when he spoke of irrationally exhuberant
investors. Besides, as long as Brinker remains fully invested
what difference does it make whether 9000 happens or not?
Would anybody complain if the market trades through the
eight thousands but does not make it to 9000 in 1997? I don't
think so. The key is to be on the right side of the market
as Brinker as been since Dow 2300 in 1990. That is where the
money is made. So far it is more than a triple in the nineties.
As for Bruce Williams, his credentials as a money manager and
market expert are zero. He has no background in these areas and
has wisely chosen general backyard over the fence type advice
for his listeners and has always emphasized he does not do a
financial advice program. As a contrary indicator, however, he
may be very good. Personally his program bores me to tears.

» honeyoneohone - Brinker Ridicules Ralph Acompora
.Brinker, on a rather obscure message board (MITA) at SI, makes only one post EVER. And this is in an effort to ridicule "Ralphie" when someone posted this very flattering story from the DJN about Ralph Acompora:

Here's the DJN newstory with Acompora's call on the market today:09/28 2:15P (DJ)=DJ Prudential's Acampora Sets New, Lower DJIA Targets
Story 4115 (H/, N/DJN, N/DJWI, N/DJS, N/HOT, N/MKT, N/NYS, N/SMC, N/STK...)
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Prudential Securities' Ralph Acampora has lowered technical targets for the Dow Jones Industrial Average after market averages violated critical support levels in recent trading.
Under the targets Acampora has now established for the Dow, the industrial average figures to end the year somewhere in the 10,000- to 11,300-point range, under what he described as the best-case scenario for the short term.
Under the worst-case scenario, the industrial average could fall into a range of between 8900 to 9200, according to a contact at the firm.
Acampora himself was said to be traveling, and unavailable for comment.
The renowned technical analyst - long associated with bullish market calls - figured that there is a 60% to 70% chance the Dow will slump to the worst-case scenario of 8900 to 9200 points, according to Prudential.
Prudential also said that Acampora has maintained his long-term bullish outlook for the market, but that, in plainest terms, the market has to go lower before it is going to be able to move higher.
As a technician, Acampora lost the luxury of simply maintaining his bullish posture after the Dow industrial average tumbled through a critical support level recently at 10,334 points.
At its low for the trading session Tuesday, the industrial average dropped to 10081. The Dow has not traded below the 10,000-point mark since April 7.
Here was Brinker's envious and sarcastic response:

OK Ralphie, we thank you so much.
So if the Dow trades in the fourth quarter between
Dow 8900 and Dow 11300 you get credit for a direct hit!http://www.siliconinvestor.com/readmsg.a...
Would you like to widen your projected range just a bit?
How about something between Dow 1000 and Dow 100000.
That should give you even more of a cushion for your
forecast(?) Weren't you the one who forecasted Dow 6500
in October 1998 right at the market bottom? Yes indeed.Pru should raise your salary, you are so very daring!
