ROFLOL! Bob Brinker has not done "well" with market timing.
His market timing has been a train wreck for the past ten years and there were a few fender-benders in the thirteen years before that."

You're again showing your bias. The following is from an independent site:

Bob Brinker of Bob Brinker’s Marketimer, one of Hulbert Financial Digest’s nine 2010 Honor Roll Inductees (honor roll: letters that out-performed in both up and down markets). Hulbert’s #3 best performer over the last 15 years.]

I'm not aware of many who where 100% invested through virtually all of the 90's, went bearish in early 2000 and then went back to fully invested right at the final bear market retest bottom in March 2003.

I'm also not aware of many who more recently did well in both the bear that ended in March '09 and properly played the bull that followed. It's hard to navigate the first true financial panic in 100 years.

Why haven't you named all these brilliant market timers that did so much better than Bob over this period? Are you busy criticizing and pointing out all their mistakes on the internet?

Is your goal to have the best market timing advice over a period of time or is your goal to be obsessed with one market timer, not compare them to anyone else but just harp on any missed call?

I thought we went through this before so not sure why you felt it necessary to come out of your hive and restart it.

Also you have a low threshold for ROFLOL. It's healthy to have a good sense of humor but inappropriate laughing can be a sign of a neurological or psychological problem.

How about trying to be a little more objective when criticizing Brinker and I'll feel less motivated to respond. Or as Bob likes to say we'll agree to disagree.
