You left off much. Use Steve's summary here suite101.com

1982 right ???(what newsletter did he publish then? Hulbert only gives him credit back to 1986.)

1986 underperformed a great deal so started a new portfolio according to Hulbert.

1987 wrong Missed a 30% decline... pretty bad for a marketimer

1988 WRONG went to 100% cash

1988 to 1991 messed around with allocation.

Late 1990/early 1991 right HUh? He got back in 100% just before the gulf war bear.

Early 2000 right

Late 2000 (QQQ) wrong

2002 Wrong. Market drops over 20% and he is still in it. His OWN WORDS say he would not keep any money in a bear market if his model was bearish. Why Keep QQQ & TEFQX as it fell another 50%?

Again, measure him on his claims. I thought how he missed the 20% drop in 1998 and how he handled it was the first big clue it is just showbiz.

Or how about this summary
tinyurl.com
Every month he says "Hold for future recovery" as QQQ falls. I make that a new call each month. Buy and holders or asset allocators, we invest that way, but a market timer should be able to know if the market is going down 50% and then tell you to get out.
