Brinker is looking only for a cyclical bull. That is, and I think this is his latest definition, a 25%+ move in the S&P500 over a one year to three year timeframe. Now, you have to note that this definition has changed like the wind especially when it is hammered on the net.

It used to be a 20% move over a 6 month+ timeframe and at times that move was in the DOW. I suspect that at some point it will be the Wilshire or whatever makes Bob look the best.

I don't know why Bob pooh-poohs 20%+ rallies over a couple of weeks or months. I guess they just aren't worthy of his criteria. Bob has specific criteria, I guess, about what is worth and is not worth his notice. Frankly, I think a 20%+ rally over a couple weeks or months is a good thing and liable to be just as profitable as a 25%+ rally over 3 years. Then again, Bob is the professional here so he must know (or pretends he does) more than we do.

I don't think anyone here is in the habit of telling anyone else to buy or sell anything. At least not on the thread which, IMO, is a good thing.
