I don't see the 1987-90 scenario as a realistic expectation for risk going forward. I believe that Brinker's distaste for selling into weakness would make it unlikely to happen again, and I suspect that 1987 had a lot to do with his adopting that policy.

That is akin to saying "he probably has a distaste for advising up to 32.5% of total portfolio into QQQs that go down 70% afterwards" also.

His "bandage" for the last mistake lead to huge losses for his aggressive subscribers this time around. To ignore it is darn near criminal.

Maybe he'll just have to find a new flavor?

The whole idea of why market timing doesn't work is there seems to be constant "oops" events that give back all advantages when lucky enough to be right.
