"No I was claiming that it is false and misleading advertising and as such it may even constitute FRAUD. I find it interesting that the statement was changed shortly after that claim was posted at 101."

The current issue of Marketimer makes a VERY SPECIFIC claim.

It says on page 3 "Marketimer currently is ranked number one for long-term stock market timing by the two major rating services, HFD and Timer Digest."

He can't change that but I bet it will be changed in the next issue.

I also think it refers to a study Hulbert did that only looked at timing and didn't look at how well the timer used their timing to generate returns. I believe you need to search the net to find the article because I don't recall reading it in Hulbert's newsletter... but I could have missed it or forgotten since I read many.

I posted a link on Honey's forum that showed a study where the top market timer under performed the S&P500... 1988 to 1998... and Brinker was rated #2. Being top rated was similar to winning the Special Olympics... It was something to be proud of, but the very best was just short of "average."
