» 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).

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 .

"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."

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.

iamacamera ,

appreciate your post . that's one of the reasons why i gave up the discussion . you should be blaming Tony Soprano's mom too i guess . smile .

course you bringing that easy to blame " damn " Bush & the Iraq war into this does make it more interesting . now if we could just figure out a way that figures into these 40 year market cycles and the fact that 9/11 happened a year later than bob's secular market sell signal in 2000 .

as you've said , it's probably close enough . especially since bob brinker said today on his program that he doesn't use a calendar in his market timing model . said he uses a calendar for other market timing issues , but not the length of cyclical bull market cycles .

I am not an expert on Ibonds but I thought I heard Brinker say the maximum you can buy in a single year is $60,000. $120,00 if you are married.

In response to Re: Off-presidential election years "MOABO" posted by Kirk:

hi kirk ,

yes bob had several questions this weekend about this cyclical bull market in this secular bear market being " long in the tooth " from several callers and bob stated that he doesn't use a calendar in his market timing models . maybe your problem is you're still reading bob's November 6th 2000 issue of his newsletter instead of his more recent issues . smile .

as for his mid - october 2000 subscriber bulletin on Qs , bob already stated several times that it was a " mistake " , once in front of a packed house on one of his " benefit " shows on the west coast , and even asked one caller lately if it was necessary for him ( bob ) to state that every hour on his program . smile .

congradulations on your own portfolio returns . hope your newsletter subscriptions benefit . think about having your own show . ? ? . just think of all the fun you'd have explaining to people what you did or did not say in the year 2000 . especially on a weekend program that's been held for years now .
