He, (Brinker) unlike myself, will not admit to using TA as part of his 'timing model'. My guess is that just like myself, one would continue to lighten long positions as the market climbs into that zone (1250-1280) in the event that it should decline.

As of this point, there has been no meaningful breakdown, but has you may have read here some have pulled out in anticipation of a downturn.

Keep in mind, when the market turns down in a powerful way, there is frequently a bounce back to the trendline which draws the suckers in and allows others to increase short positions. This may be the point Brinker wants to exit.

Of course, this would be 'market timing' which is against all widely accepted investing principles.

Brinker is waiting for a sure sign, as am I.

In response to What Secular Bear Market?...3 year old Cyclical Bull? posted by Sam78:

hello again Sam ,

agree with your being risk adverse . that's why i mostly pulled out the end of december and further lightened up last week . agree with your feeling that this cyclical bull market is getting long in the tooth . and , like your excellent performance , my best year ever since i retired in 2000 , was last year so , as bob brinker recommends , i've reluctant to risk my critical mass .

i did hear bob brinker mention the 1350 level to a caller last summer as a possble high . so may we can all watch to see if that is achieved .

i'm also paying attention to Normxxx's prediction way last year that february and march whould be down , middle of this year would be flat , and there would be a rally next fall . and i guess we'll all know that in the fullness of time too . smile .

Great post Kirk. For the benefit of new posters here, you might be interested to know that Bob Brinker monitors this web site, and a few others. He has actually benefitted from many insightful posts on Suite101, as many here have benefitted from his education. On a related note, my sources tell me that Bob Brinker will not be hosting Moneytalk next weekend (February 11-12th). So you can plan your next weekend's schedule accordingly. smile

Come on David, what's with "my sources tell me" stuff. Well my source must be the same as yours. Geeez. Maybe I should write a newsletter also? Take care.

While I am on my soapbox I might as well rant about Bob's critical comments today regarding Bill Gross. I have found Mr. Gross to be more correct than not in most of his prognostications. For Bob to be expecting the market to decline and at the same time poke fun at Mr. Gross for his Dow 5000 comments is hypocritical at best.
If Mr. Brinker is correct the SP 500 will retest lows at 800 or perhaps go lower in the continuing bear market he forecasts, a corresponding decline in the narrowly focused Dow would be around 6400. Plenty of room for overshoot into the 5000's if you ask me.
I forgot, you didnt ask me. My money is on Mr Gross over radio host/newsletter salesman Mr Brinker anyday.

appreciate the honesty SCoe46 . i had guessed it might be Terry since she mentioned on her last bob brinker show hosting that she'd be back soon . i'm just not a frequent visitor to her site .

and maybe , since you too seem to be close to ' David Korn's sources ' , you might consider writing a newsletter . smile

i do question David's opinion that bob watches this site .

Well, its good to know my sources were right! As for the newsletter business, I encourage you to give it a shot, although I suspect you were being facetious. Having published a newsletter almost every weekend for the last 7+ years, I can tell you it takes a lot of devotion and pride in your work to put out a quality product week after week to keep your subscribers satisfied. There are many benefits, however, other than financial gain. Helping others and developing friendships with subscribers is by far the most rewarding. I imagine Kirk can attest to this as well.

p.s. to allancoleman. You will have to take my word for it. Having dealt with the Brinkers (Bob abd Bob Jr. personally), I can only assure you that I am not blowing smoke, although I wouldn't mind a good cigar right now. The good news is that if you post a question here (or a comment), you might here daBrink address it on the show!

In response to Re: Bob Brinker and Suite101 posted by prognosticator:

while i agree with your opinion that bob brinker was a bit harsh with his comments on Bill Gross today and probably no one is better in the fixed income market than Bill , Bill did go out of his field when he incorrectly predicted DOW 5000 awhile back .

and to correct bob latest predictions : bob is still very bullish and is not , at this time , calling for a market decline , much less the SP 500 800 level . IF bob's feeling that we are in a secular bear market is correct , then we could see that 800 level you mention much , much later . but bob isn't even looking that far yet .

if you're putting your money on Bill Gross's bond market suggestions , i'd be very careful as , although Bill is usually correct on his fixed income market comments , Bill also has a whole bunch of fixed income securities to sell buyers for a price higher than he paid for them .
