I find the monthly quote that starts off each issue of Marketimer ironic. This one by George Soros appears in January 2005. “ Investors operate with limited funds and limited intelligence, they don’t need to know everything. As long as they understand something better than others, they have an edge.”

Old bob is in rare form, hedging by referring to the model as “in moderately favorable territory.”

He thinks 2005 GDP will be in the 3% to 4% range. He expects S&P earnings to be $69.00 with 2.5% productivity achievable. FED Funds rates are going up until a level of equilibrium is reached. bob thinks the S&P is slightly unvalued considering inflation. Sentiment is not seeing signs of “overcomplacency”. I would say all these predictions are conservative.

The old geezer reinforced several of his bromides that I think are designed to keep subscribers on the edge of their seats and also to keep renewing. Things like mentioning the cyclical bull that started in March 2003 a few times, even though the lows came in October 2002. Shhhh! Reminders of the buy below 1100 and if you missed it dollar cost average. Oh yeah he is replacing THPGX with BPTRX. I think if you research these two funds you will see genuine performance chasing. Maybe he will send out the Feb Marketslimer to prospective suckers (subscribers) to show the hot funds he picks? What a racket!
