Will L. said: "He (BB) never gave any 'absolute maximum' time for a counter trend rally. You made that up."

Will, I didn't make anything up. AC subscribes to the MT and HE said BB gave a 3 to 6-month timeframe. I was only going by what AC said was in the Marketimer. For all I know, AC is lying or misinterpreting or purposely misquoting.

In response to message posted by dija:

"Maybe "they" are right. Maybe a call of 3 to 6 months DOES "overlap" with a call of 6 months to 3 years. hehe

Maybe a call of "zero to infinity" IS a precise call.

Maybe because a CTR call and a CB call have a couple of the same elements, they ARE essentially the same!! (Even though there are also many differences).

And maybe Will is Santa Claus. "

No Dija, Will is just an intellectually challenged ole country boy. However he is bright enough to know that the key element that Brinker's CTR's and Brinker's Cyclical Bulls have in common is that they are both Bullchit. He's never successfully done either one. Why do you worry about the minutia when the big picture is clear--it's HUBRIS>

"Will L. said: "He (BB) never gave any 'absolute maximum' time for a counter trend rally. You made that up."

I believe that AC said that Brinker stretched his CTR to over 9 months. That was his POINT. Why do you do this repeatedly?

Look at Jimmy's post. It gives the quotes by the months. You can watch that CTR grow and grow and grow--into more than 9 months before Brinker gives up. Then you can watch as Brinker deftly morphs the need to subscribe to get the CTR information into the need to subscribe to get the Cyclical Bullchit information to get you out of the CTR that was a disaster. Quite interesting. You might try reading HIS WORDS before changing them.

Fred2000 said: "Notice when I asked (dija) how she judges Bob's good vs. bad advice, she never responded."

Fred2000, I never responded because it was a stupid question. Bob's good advice is the advice that turns out to be correct. His bad advice is the advice that turns out to be wrong. For example, when he says there is a "gift-horse buying opportunity" in the market, and the market subsequently goes up sharply, THAT is good advice. When he says "buy the qqqs for a short-term 20% profit," and the qqqs go DOWN 60%, THAT is bad advice. It is really quite simple.

Fred2000 also said: "(dija) also didn't respond when I said that if she thinks this board is for judging investments made by posters rather than advice given by Bob...her silence is deafening on the matter."

Fred2000, how can my silence be "deafening" when I have answered that several times? Perhaps you were too busy thinking up ways to impress Will and Kirk to read them.

To repeat, I DO NOT think this board is for judging investments made by posters. When I DID discuss investments made by posters (to be precise: QQQ investments made by people who followed Brinker blindly and then became Brinker-bashers) I was only RESPONDING to statements made by said posters.

AC, Bob IS in this to make money!

I noticed that you left out the part about being a piece of s*** but I assume you agree with that part anyway. LOL.

Unfortunately, when Bob making money has a negative divergence with his customers making money, guess what that indicates?

In response to message posted by Fred2000:

Once the bear was pretty evident, he called it a bear and began his CTR calls. Like many technical analysts, he was wrong. Excuse me, WE were wrong.

I still don't think that Bob's longterm model has ever seen a real bear as he has never gone 100% out of the market. I think it must be stuck in permanent reallocation territory. Maybe he should whack it on the side of the head to get it started again smile

I heard him say this weekend that it isn't time to sell stocks now that they're in the dumper (or something to that effect). So it's too late to sell and it's too early to buy?

I tell ya Bobby, you have to whack it on the side of the head to get it started again. Maybe you should give it some gas or take it in for a cleaning.

In response to message posted by dija:

Nope Dija, only bots like you lie. The critics don't have to as every bit of new information about Bob is universally negative.

Bob kept extending the CTR to 9 months. Bob said that, not me. Go to the library and read the back issues. I've even made it easy by giving you the evolution of the debacle. Then he said CBs are as short as 6 months (since buried LOL in favor of 1 year minimum after the 6 months was mentioned here! LOL).

You're welcome to correct my quotations if I've made a mistake as is Bob in one of his many guises. If this has hit a nerve, I suspect there will be any number of new aliases popping up again to spout nonsense.

» ACousins - The guru of the year (not Bob, McManus)

From TAsk on RM:

"The strategist, who has long recommended a weighting of 50% stocks, 45% bonds and 5% cash for balanced accounts, Still, McManus does not foresee a precipitous decline for the dollar, suggesting that productivity is the key to exchange rates. "While we do not interpret recent data to be as bullish as they appear, we expect gradual productivity increases to help prevent a dollar rout and to lend support in the future," he concluded.

Jeffrey Saut, chief equity strategist at Raymond James, has long been concerned about the greenback, having suggested it was topping a year ago. His concerns became "more urgent" in February, when the Dollar Index broke below some moving averages.

However, Saut took a somewhat contrarian view of the greenback in today's missive. "Now, with the buck down substantially, the press is full of dollar concerns just as the U.S. Dollar Index is oversold and very near support levels at 111," he wrote. "The dollar could make a near-term bottom and rally, with positive implications for the stock market, yet still be in a longer-term bear market." (The Dollar Index was recently down 0.57, to 111.34, after trading as low as 111.19 intraday.)

Indeed, a reversal in the dollar's slide could trigger a "summer rally" for equities (albeit from lower levels than many hoped), as I discussed Friday. The Bank of Japan's recent interventions and comments by Bush administration officials suggest a coordinated effort may be in the works to prop up the currency; most likely it would be successful in stemming the dollar's decline, at least temporarily. "

Bob's missed calling every rally correctly since January 2000. Maybe he'll get another chance!

Hey Dija, answer the question: what is the difference between a (3-6m) CTR and a (6-36m) CB?

LOL. I'm doing a lot of laughing at Dija lately.

It indicates that some of his customers may be following him too blindly. Remember, he encourages his listeners and subscribers to "become your own personal financial advisor."

As I posted the other day, he HAS helped me make money. I would not have been able to retire last September if I had not found him on the radio in early 1993.
