Robert, I've listened to Brinker for a while and I disagree with him on the market pullback. Ask a value fund manager or Warren Buffet, they might tell you that a pullback occured in 1999. Brinkers argument that a guaranteed 7% is a no-brainers to a riskier 10% from being in the market. This assumes a market rising only 10%. The assumption of using bull/bear survey as one of the factors is not a good indicator. Interest rates are going up, but the market economy is rising faster. Bob's idea of only 10% is conservative. Another 15% is probable due to low unemployment, low inflation, still relatively low interest rates (compared to the 1980s), bugdet surplus, and a bourgening world economy. The world is slowly awakening to the internet economy and the US is the one selling a good portion of the hardware and software to make it run.
Bob's lesson on diversification is the important one. Even in the crash of 1987, there were stocks that went up for the year.
