In response to Sy's advice posted by cpa61:

I know I will get blasted for the following comments from readers, but here is my advice about Sy. Stay away. I started following him right after Bobbiies buy signal several years ago. I did nothing but lose money. Lose. Lose. After finally learning from Hulbert that Sy had lost money over the last 10 years I bailed.

He writes v interesting commentary, but he is a chartist and I learned charting is a failure.

Do your due diligence before sending Sy your money. btw he sent me free access last year for three months as I recall, and he lost money. Amazing.
AS I have stated here before, Bobbie is not perfect, but there are many others out there that are far worse.

Technical Question for Kirk:
Why can I log in OK on this computer but not on a newer one on my network?
ps I don't think the network has anything to do with it, so make it just a different computer?

Retiredin P, my approach was entirely different from yours. I decided that Brinker gave lousy trading advice and vowed never to follow such advice again.
However I didn't think that invalidated his long term timing advice so I followed his March 2003 buy signal, albeit 1 day late.
I have gained back 3X+ what I lost in the Qs debacle so I'm a happy camper. I realise that this isn't over till the fat lady sings, but so far so good. I have trimmed back to 50% equities a couple of times to reduce my risk.
I still have the remnants of my Qs. I look at them occasionally to remind me to never again be such an idiot.

In passing I note the tone on this thread has become somewhat more civil. It'll probably change after this post.

agreed iamacamera , that this forum is much more civil . smile . and also agree that bob brinker's advice , taken prudently with caution , can be profitable . but , of course , much of the advice given here on just about any investing forum on suite101 can be as educational and enriching .

I agree you can't go all out one one persons advice. The more risk you take the more rewarding.

I did remember that bob called us a leech during the q debacle for not subscribing to his marketimer. The leech refers to the ones that listens to his program every weekend. I can't figure that one. Show that is paid by advertiser and you get salary from it and yet you don't want anyone to listen. Go figure

"Wright100, I am the person that Peter Brimelow was talking about in his CBS Marketwatch column " I retired early in the first half of 2000. I had been following [Brinker's] advice based on his excellent track record and comments he made during a personal appearance in Rochester NY in the late 1990s." Just so it is crystal clear, I will tell all of you that after Bob's lecture and infomercial in Rochester, NY he took questions from the audience and then stayed to talk "one on one" with some of us about retirement. BOB told me very clearly that many many retirees used his newsletter as the basis for their retirement investing. Thus, when I subscribed and got the "invest immediately" bulletin, I naturally followed the advice I WAS PAYING FOR. Am I still pissed? YOU BETCHA. My problem with Bob ISN'T the fact that he made a poor recommendation, it is the fact that he left ALL OF US HANGING month after month after month as the QQQs dropped and dropped. He clearly never had an exit stategy and he obviously didn't care about all of his subscribers who followed him over the cliff. His biggest objective was to bury the call. I tried for months to get in touch with Bob for some explanation of what to do but his staff responded by CANCELING MY NEWSLETTER SUBSCRIPTION. This is how your wonderful Bob Brinker treats people!"

Thanks Retired. Glad retirement is working out well in spite of the setback. Undoubtedly you made the most credible post I've seen here among many that don't pass the smell test trying to help sell his newsletter.
