Brinker's bulletin was dated March 11, 2003, not 3/19. I've based 90% of my investing with listening to Mr. Brinker's advice since 1986. I don't even care to hear about investing day to day or week to week, boring, as most of the people who talk about the subj. matter). A couple times a mo. I might listen to Brinker. I've only followed his long term advice. I'm just smart, I guess). Dollar cost ave. into index funds, take advantage of 401ks and iras, etc. Got out in Jan. 2000 and back in on 3/12 per 3/11 bulletin. =been able to retire at 45 because of following his long term advice. He's not perfect but has alot of common sense. (Basic Investing should be taught in high school so there would be no need for radio programs like his). Just follow his long term advice, and maybe you won't be so upset.

Got out in Jan. 2000

You say you were following Brinker's long term advice when you got out in 2000.

Bob advised moving 60% of equity holdings from the market into cash in January 2000.

Later that year Bob advised moving an additional 5% into cash.

Did you follow Bob's long-term advice and make both of these moves?

I just ask because you did not mention the second selling of equities in 2000.

This would be an opportune time to challenge Brinker to come clean on his infamous QQQQ buy and have him explain why he failed to give his subscribers an exit plan. How about it Kirk? Why not provide the host the information and documentation you have acquired about Brinker's track record and his failure to address the damage done to many portfolios?

I agree with Brinker that raising the cap on Social Security would be a mistake and a disincentive to work. I also think those of us who try to help others are not evil in wishing to be compensated for it.

"The laborer is worthy of his wages".

Use as needed. Best used in combination with pointing out another's hypocrisy. Rinse. Repeat.

Luke 10:7

Here is another along the same lines.

Deut 25:4 You shall not muzzle an ox
while it treads out the grain

It is good to note that the ox cannot eat with a muzzel on.

The Warren Buffet of the ancients, King Solomon, certainly puts an entertaining spin on wealth and labor. If you spend a good deal of time on it then you are certainly a laborer. In this case it looks like he could afford a little free advice.

Proverbs 6:9-11
How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep? Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

Proverbs 10:4-5
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich. He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

Proverbs 10:26
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

Proverbs 12:24
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

Proverbs 12:27
The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.

Proverbs 13:4
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

Proverbs 14:23
In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

Proverbs 15:19
The way of the slothful man is as an hedge of thorns: but the way of the righteous is made plain.

Proverbs 18:9
He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster.

Proverbs 19:15
Slothfulness casteth into a deep sleep; and an idle soul shall suffer hunger.

Proverbs 19:24
A slothful man hideth his hand in his bosom, and will not so much as bring it to his mouth again.

Proverbs 20:4
The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.

Proverbs 20:13
Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.

Proverbs 21:25-26
The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour. He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

Proverbs 24:31-34
And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man.

Proverbs 26:14-15
As the door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth.

Nice to have Bob talking about quitting.

If and when Bob quits, the controlling reason will not be tax rates.

In fact the fact that he is working now is proof that money is not his driver today. He already has much more than he can spend.

Bob refuses to work for a higher marginal rate. By Bob's logic he did not do any work for wages until after the first Reagan tax cut.

All wage taxes are a disincentive to work for wages.
All sales taxes are a disincentive to spend.

All property taxes are a disincentive to own.

Any tax on any activity is a disincentive to do that activity.

Why would this proposal be a mistake?

Bob, have you done the math?
Social security is a defined benfit retirement program.
It is also indexed to inflation.
Bob, you are within a year or so of being able to begin drawing down SS payments without deduction due to other income.
Mrs. Bob can draw 50% of Bob's SS check.

Defined benefit programs favor those near retirment as the delay between investment and return is shorter.

Bob, if you pay more into SSI, you and Mrs. Bob will get a bigger SS checks.

Bob, have you done the math?
