Some people don't post in the Brinker wars but read the spin of the Brinker promoters and get somewhat angry. Stuff occasionally comes over the transom as this example of why one subscriber at the time felt Brinker was acting very strange for someone who was "bearish" as many of claimed in early 2000.

Here is an exerpt from page two of the April 7, 2000 marketimer, a time at which Math, Queen, Dija and others claim Brinker's model was screaming bear.

I.R.A. RECOMMENDATIONS

Marketimer recommends the following investments as our best ideas
for 1999 I.R.A. contributions, which can be made through April 17, and

Year 2QQO contributions. Each investment should be selected based on
your personal investment objectives and should be integrated as part
of your overall asset allocation strategy managed from the top down.

Equity Funds: Aggressive:

Janus 01ympus JAOLX
Strong Growth SGROX
Growth: TIAA/CREF Growth Equity
Vanguard Total Stock Market

Conservative:

Fidelity Utilities: FIUIX

International: TlAA/CREF International Equity

Fixed Income: Ginnie Maes: Vanguard Ginnie Mae Fund

These selections represent funds which we believe are excellent investment vehicles
for each investment objective category. We recommend I.R.A. accounts as vehicles for
taxdeferredinvestmentandwe suggestmaximizingthe I.R.A. accounts available to you.

The Roth I.R.A. is attractive for those that qualify and offers a unique opportunity
to invest for your retirement on a tax-free basis. Each individual within the
income guidelines can invest up to $2000 annually. After five years you pay no federal

. income tax on withdrawals after age 59~. Also, you may withdraw without penalty or tax
before age 59~ to pay for your first home for up to $10000. You also may withdraw with-
out penalty before age 59~ to pay for higher education.

This puts to bed the lie he was bearish when the market peaked... Who would recommend conservative investors buy FIUIX at the top if they were bearish?

Net Asset Value: 16.74

Remember Bob Brinker is the radio show pitchman for his rag who claimed time and time again when his model turned bearish there was only one place to be-in cash 100%. In addition time after time he would talk about his whorehouse analogy and describe the plight of the piano player, meaning that no stock or sector was safe from a bear if his model ever turned bearish. His picks though were all in the equity area for portfolio I and II types and were weighted toward equities for his more conservative subscribers. Very strange indeed for a "bear".
