» JIMMY62 - off-presidential election years
In response to Re: Rally % vs Duration posted by allancoleman:definitely disagree with JIMMY62 . to my knowledge , bob hasn't mentioned a " bottom of the next bear market cycle " . and listening , subscribing , and knowing bob , he probably wouldn't ever stick his neck out and make such a statement
Your statement shows that you have not been listening to Bob as long as Kirk.
Bob's greatest ever marketing gimmick was MOABO, AKA Mother of All Buying Opportunities.
MOABO came to THE PROGRAM after Bob made his tactical adjustment in January of 2000.
Bob told the faithful to keep our DRY POWDER, AKA cash reserves, dry and to check the web site for announcemnt of MOABO.
In May of 2001 Bob devoted the monologue of THE MARKETIMER a bit of data from the stock market almanac. By carefully selecting low and high points in market indexes Bob showed that for 40 years (now 44) there has been a market low during the each of the off-presidential election years that was followed by a significant climb in the index. The purpose of the article was to imply, I thought, that the same would happen in 2004.
Which it did. Even though Bob chickened out in October of 2004 and missed MOABO. Then Bob lucked out and was able to get back in just before the start of this war in Iraq.

In response to Mortgage Cost Calculator posted by bbaddict:Bob doesn't "get" calls. Bob's screener selects calls of the types that Bob has told him Bob wants to take.

In response to off-presidential election years posted by JIMMY62:although you are correct that bob mentioned the MOABO ( mother of all buying opportunities ) after his " adjustment in January of 2000 " , in no way has bob mentioned RECENTLY that there would be a bottom on this cyclical bull market in 2006 . and in reading bob's recent newsletter , he is very bullish well into 2006 . and , i suggest , such twisting of bob's words doesn't help people who don't listen to bob often .
one of the reasons i prefer to listen , not only to bob - but other investment advisors in person , is because some people misrepresent the facts as they are presented . they " hear " what they want to hear . and bob has to deal with those callers all the time .
as bob would say , " we'll have to agree to disagree " .

» JIMMY62 - off-presidential election year is acoming
In response to Re: off-presidential election years posted by allancoleman:I posted: "BTW, it is just 6 months until the next off-presidential election year starts. Going out on a limb, I predict that Bob will identify a GIFT HORSE during 2006. However, I doubt that he will issue a sell signal before that there GFT HORSE, "
Then you posted:" such twisting of bob's words doesn't help people who don't listen to bob often ."
As Tony Soprano's mom used to say, "I don't know what you are talking about."

» rasputin - Trading range
--As most of you'se guys know, I'm pretty much a Brinker fan though I haven't been listening as closely lately as I have in the past. Doesn't it seem that the market is in what people refer to as a trading range (or something like that). It seems like it's been drifting between 10,000 and 10,500 (now, 10,600). I did put some cash in three times over the past two months. At the two buy points Bob mentioned and on the day of the London bombing. There had been a dip on the two days prior to the bombing. I'm thinking that right now the short-term downside risk is greater than the upside potential because of the trading range thingy. I've done well on the recent trades, using VTSMX in my 401k. I'm still only 40% in equities, having decided not to follows the buy signal in 2003 (dang it).

» allancoleman - Re: Trading range
In response to Trading range posted by rasputin:in looking at the charts of the Dow , it appears you are correct . there are those who have said we have seen the highs and the lows in the stock market for this year , so you'll probably get to buy at bob's 1160 S & P 500 buy signal again this year .
i'm also watching Sy Harding's prediction of a low before the beginning of the " favorible season " this october / november time frame . follow Normxxx's posts if you're interested in Sy .

It's that damned Bush again. I think it's a disgrace that he gave Bob advance info on when he would invade Iraq.
BTW I think you are also 2 years off in your commentary but that's close enough.
