I understand. I thought I was missing something not being able to post charts while seeing you and a few others post them.

» iamacamera - Re: Re: What Secular Bear Market?

Q1: Has anyone read the latest Marketimer?

Q2: Does it sound like Bob Brinker read my post "What Secular Bear Market? and is now "hedging" in his latest Marketimer?

My question didn't get many replies so I'll ask it again now:

Q3: "How many of Bob’s listeners did not return to fully invested in 2003 because they were not confident in his ability to call “counter trend rallies in secular bear markets?”

1 A pal read it to me.
2 I detected no hedging. He is bullish. 5% is his minimum target.
3 As i wrote before, I was spooked enough to hold back maybe 20% of the $ earmarked for equities. the worst miss was putting only ½ my gambling $ into RYVYX.

I don't care about Oct 2002 - My profits in this bull market alone are more than the average person accumulates in a life time. I'm not sure what your point is, except to prove B is exagerating yet again.

BTW B is not predicting that the market will go all the way back to 800. He points out that previous bear markets have bottomed way before cyclical bulls have occurred. It seems they have ratcheted up making higher lows and highs until it finally passes the high of the previous secular bull. I probably haven't explained this very well - whatever.

Wrong - they need to cut the welfare entitlements which account for 5/6ths of spending.

FDR, LBJ and now Bush with the RX program have set up a bankrupt America. Health care needs to be rationed and saving needs to be rewarded, not punished.

They have a few years to reverse this but I have no confidence in Congress or this or the next president from either party.

» David_Korn - Bob Brinker, Jr. and Bob Brinker's Timing Model (By David Korn)

I can help you out. This is an excerpt from my newsletter which will be published this weekend. This is only a brief excerpt that addresses your question about Bob's timing model.

INHERITING BOB BRINKER'S LONG TERM STOCK MARKET TIMING MODEL

Caller: This caller told Bob that he is going to depend on him and his stock market timing model for the next 20 years. The caller asked Bob whether his son, Bob Brinker Jr. had any insights into the inner workings of the long term stock market timing model? Bob said that Bob Jr. has his own newsletter that deals with fixed income.

EC: Notice that Bob didn't really answer the question. As it turns out, I think I can offer a plausible response. Back in the day, I was in negotiations with Bob Brinker to post my "summaries" of his show exclusively on bobbrinker.com. (That was back when they had discussion boards which was pre-QQQQ days). Anyhow, I had many e-mail and telephone conversations with Bob Brinker Jr. at the time. He seemed to be a very nice fellow, and I recall that he told me that he often got asked that same question, but that he wasn't interested in following in the market timing footsteps of his father. In fact, Bob Jr. helped design bobbrinker.com and is a member of AdPad which is an information technology company that does web site development, custom software development, etc.

EC#2: Now, here is where it gets a little interesting. Not too long ago, Bob Brinker Sr. announced the creation of the "Brinker Fixed Income Advisor" which lists its editors as Robert M. Brinker (that's Bob Jr.) and Lisa J. Brinker. However, Robert J. Brinker (that is market timer Bob Brinker Sr.) is listed as a "consultant to the Brinker Fixed Income Advisor." Obviously, Bob Sr. lends his name and credibility, not to mention his advice, to his son's efforts in publishing the newsletter. The newsletter, as the name implies, focuses only on fixed income, so it is not competing with Bob Sr.'s stock market timing newsletter. You can learn more about the newsletter here:

EC#3: I was really hoping that Bob would have said that apart from him, the person who best knows the inner workings of the long term stock market timing model is a guy in New Orleans named
