» Kirk - Re: Re: LOVED the IPO mania RIGHT AT THE VERY TOP!

In response to message posted by dija:

How do YOU explain his TEFQX call versus his criticism of the "new economy" philosophy???

I take the man at his word. He thought B2B was different then B2C and he said as much with the words I quoted from the MTs. He was even excited about getting IPO stocks before they hit the market as he thought Kevin Landis would have an inside edge, probably like Garrett Van Wogganer(sp?)... I don't think we need to dream up fancy hedge scenarios. Take a look at Phillip Morris since the Feb 2000 MT. It has gone way, way up. I think Brinker thought B2B had the type of value and potential that MO showed instead. He said it would be volitile much like UTEK was and he didn't want to hear a bunch of complainers if the fund dropped 30% right off he bat on a correction before going higher.

In short, he was clueless and should have paid attention to my warning that the game was to release just a few shares to drive up the prices so the insiders could unload before the stocks crashed. I said this in Dec 1999 and I think what ML has admitted to with Blodget and Infospace PROVES I was right.

In response to message posted by dija:

I no longer have my old MT's and don't know the exact words, but he said something to the effect that the fund was only for those with a HIGH RISK TOLERANCE. For you to just say that he said it was volatile is VERY misleading. Score another point for Walkerman.

dija, ANYONE that moves 60% of their money out of the market with the expectation to jump back in with a QQQ trade is a VERY RISKY investor given that market timing doesn't work and the data supports it. THUS, ALL his subscribers could feel free to buy the fund.

Most of the major investment houses don't change their asset allocation by more than 5 or 10% at a time...

anyway, I look at his "warning" as similar to the carnival barker saying "not for the squeemish! This show is so grotesque that you will not be able to sleep for weeks."

The fact that retired people were buying TEFQX speaks to the warnings effectiveness. In a court of law, it might be called an "attractive nuisance" that would entice rather than warn since that was exactly what happened. Heck, you were retired and YOU bought it, no? Not much of a "warning" so I tend to look at how it was given overall with the excitement on the website and discussion on the radio. At best, it was like having the warning on a pack of smokes that says "Smoking causes cancer".... Do you think that warning is effective? The courts sure don't think it matters when the cig companies add nicotine to make the product more addictive. I say Brinker did the same with his TEFQX advice... he even got YOU to bite with his addictive marketing of the fund on the radio. He probably got many new subscribers just to get the name of the fund he said he'd be recommending in the MT.

In response to message posted by walkerman:

Jonathan, notice how our walkerliar changed your words to play one of his silly semantic games?

You said quite correctly that walkerman claimed at one time that Brinker contrary to recommending people buy TEFQX, was warning them not to buy it in early 2000. Your words were "never even "recommended TEFQX.

But our walkerman in his Don Knots bravado (don't you see a little squirt with a red face and his adams apple sticking out with a squeaky voice as our dear Steve R??) issued a challenge for you to find where he said Brinker "never EVER" said something. Notice he put that bogus word that he made up "ever" that you did not mention in his silly challenge 3 times.

It is no more germane to the conversation than asking you to find where he used "budwieser cabbage" together.

The point was Walkerman claimed that the attention Brinker gave in the newsletters in early 2000 was a warning NOT to buy TEFQX rather than a recommendation for the fund. It was a silly argument and devoid of logic at the time. Just as was the lying dog's changing of a word in your post and then asking you to find it.

If walkerman will leave the thread if I find where the "meaning" of his post was obviously that Brinker was not recommending TEFQX but was warning people NOT to buy it, I will be happy to search and find that post.

I hope you all will forgive the off topic remark, but I did want to wish everyone who posts and reads this board a Happy 4th of July. Given the amount of time so many of us spend reading and posting about financial issues on this thread and site, I thought it would be nice to wish everyone a great weekend in a great country. - D

» Will_L - THIS IS A SPECIAL BULLETIN

IMA MARKETIMER TOO

To all "IMA MARKETIMER TOO" subscribers

Just as WE at "IMA MARKETIMER TOO" gave you the heads up right here http://www.suite101.com/discussion.cfm/i...
OUR model has identified an OPPORTUNITY for those seeking short term capital gains.

Since no building blew on the Fourth of July, one criteria of our OPPORTUNITY was realized. This morning's only scandal news seems to be Quest. We already knew they were crooked-who else could take a Baby Bell and make it a penny stock.

So our INDICATORS are in OPPORTUNITY MODE. We believe this OPPORTUNITY from RECENT BENCHMARK INTERDAY LOWS (which will be where I will be bragging on this trade from) has the POTENTIAL of GAINS UP TO 30% OR MORE* in 2 to 4 months. OUR VEHICLE OF CHOICE for exploiting this opportunity is the one that gains the most during the OPPORTUNITY. For those of you who want something now-why not buy them QQQs, you know that drill.

For Aggressive INVESTORS, mortgage the farm and cash in the life insurance and also throw in any piddling amounts you have left in cash reserves.

For Conservative investors, throw in the piddling amount left after following another trader's call for a CTR now a year and a half ago and margin those QQQs you have left in the low 20's after his call to buy them in the 80's.

We will give you regular updates IF this turns out to be good advice. Otherwise don't expect to hear about it.

We URGE ALL WHO WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ACT IMMEDIATELY

*or it may go down

» Will_L - Although the IMA MARKETIMER TOO's timing model is proprietary w

Although the IMA MARKETIMER TOO's timing model is proprietary we at IMA will share some of our INDICATORS leading to our latest call.

Sentiment:
Just about everybody that owns equity positions are grumpy. If that Aussie on Animal Planet were categorizing stock market investors and spitting Cobras and charging Water Buffalo, he'd tell ya "Ah matie, that QQQ holder is the meanest critter in the world". Nobody is left postive on stocks. In addition a good friend called Wed Night (true story) and wanted to know if I thought he was doing the right thing dumping all of his stocks now? The guy has a lot of commercial real estate and it has done well the last three years--so he thinks its time to put all that stock money into what's doing better. We'll call that the "Friend Contra-Indicator".

Investors are also tired of looking at 100 grand in money markets returning enough to have a nice weekend in a cheap hotel from annual interest.

Some technical reasons for IMA's OPPORTUNITY call include.

Have you seen the charts? Take a look at that baby for the QQQs from Oct 2000. Look at that GE--now yielding 2.5%--twice what you are getting in a money market fund. We at IMA have as one of our indicators that when GE dividend is twice what interest on short term money is that it means one of two things. GE's price is too low or Money market yields are two low. Thus you should buy one or the other for an immenent rise.

Now to sort this out we at IMA put a sign one one side of the Boxwood shrub out front that says "Money Market"

On the other side of the boxwood bush we put a sign that says GE.

We send our head technician (Better known as "Jiggs" our jack russel) out after assuring us he will not read the signs. Whichever side he "waters" is the side poised to spring. Not every Jack Russel could do this. Jiggs is totally "ambipeedexterous"--he can pee often and in any direction with remarkable ease. This morning it was GE, a proxy for equity investment.

So from folks here at IMA MARKETIMER TOO, here's hoping Jiggs keeps you from getting peed on some more.

» Kirk - Lucent Capitulation

.
I had not realized Lucent hit $1.36 the other day....

Lew....cint as Bob liked to say...

nice bounce today but not as big as the WCOME bounce
http://stockcharts.com/def/servlet/SC.we...

I bought some more WCOME at 7 cents last week and sold some (30% of the 7 cent shares) at 25¢ Wed to make sure I walked away even for the trade and now WCOME is at 25¢ at the close today. I'm probably playing with fire but it is nice to try to make back some lost in these telecom dogs.

Hard to believe these mighty giants that even Brinker was so impressed with fell so far.

Interesting that VOD has not been crushed as much as Lucent or WorldCom

» 750a - Nasdaq bottom

Does any one recall a bottom figure for the Nasdaq that Brinker may have called? I thought I remembered him saying the 1500 level should be about the bottom. When he said this the Nas was around 4200 back in Sept 2000. I thought he was high on Ecstasy. Has he revised this number recently or given an idea of when a buying opportunity might come around? Thanks.
