Dipy,

Re: I am still of the opinion that it is almost impossible to time the markets but Brinker has been astonishing me all this year.

What, specifically, has astonished you this year about Brinker?

---Is it the way he can portray himself as a successful market timer even though the benchmark he uses for his market timing, the S&P, is higher since his bear market call?

---Is it the art of being able to portray oneself as a bear one weak and an asset allocator the other?

---Is it how he takes credit for being in cash while the Nasdaq tanks even though he went to cash because he thought the S&P would tank?

---Is it how he brushes off the Nasdaq 20% rally at the beginning of the year as just a sector rally that has no relevance to his market timing, but he infers that the 40% peak to trough decline in the Nasdaq was why he went too cash?

---Is it how he points out the relative underperformance of the S&P to the Nasdaq in this latest rally while ignoring the relative outperformance of the S&P while the Nasdaq declined?

---Is it how he can smoothly start planting the seed for marginal new highs in the S&P on top of the already marginal new high in the S&P reached in March?

---Is it how he ignores the fact that most listeners did not get on board the QQQ trade since he advised not chasing the QQQ's and buying on weakness?

Best Regards.
