I am a frequent lurker here, and I appreciate everyone's insight. By and large, all contributors are obviously intelligent and well-educated. Bull or bear, they present convincing arguments.

I have only listened to Brinker's show a couple of times, so everything I know about him I've read here. My personal philosophy is to stay fully invested at all times. What I don't understand is people's inclination to divest themselves of stocks and maintain a cash position, since extensive research has shown that virtually no one can time a market well enough to beat the averages. Even in a bear market, many stocks go up, it just becomes more difficult to pick them.

Let's say Brinker calls for a bear market. Let's even make the assumption that he's right. Is it not better to hold onto the stocks you think are undervalued (I know they may become more undervalued) and ride it out?
