I2: I, too, missed Brinker's opening monologue. Today, I did hear
him reiterate his unabashed short term bullishness. He has been
especially delighted by more than a few calls from the Nervous
Nellies. This he cites as evidence of bullishly underwhelming
bullishness.
Today, Bob Brinker avowed that his timing model is "scientifically
based" or words to that effect. While this may be so, I suspect that
there is more to Brinker's stellar record and uncanny market calls
than "science". After all, there is as much art to investing as
science. Indeed, I submit that there is something about Brinker and
his predictions, market wise and other wise, that may defy scientific
calibration.
To survive and flourish in the market for as long and as well as
Brinker has doubtless demands the eyes of an eagle, the instincts
of a tiger, the intuition of a shaman, and the brain of, well, the
brain of a Brinker. If I had any doubts about this man's uncanny
powers of prognostication, the remarkable predictions of the past
five years or more, about markets and other matters, have dispelled
them.
