Ephud believing that this actually happened __ a secular bear took place and Bob Brinker is the only one that identified it rants:

" The constant whine about the reflective realization that the secular bear ended in '06 is another one of those frivolous accusations because there was no material impact for those who were following Bob's advice. But when they need something to complain about I guess they have to make due with whatever they can scrape up."

Actually it says a lot about Brinker I think. If you don't then so be it. If you believe that Brinker had a "reflective realization that the secular bear ended in 2006", then I suppose nothing anyone could say would dissuade you. You've bought into the silliness that is Brinker.

It is as absurd as if Bob Brinker said he saw a flying saucer in his back yard, little green men got out, told him he had the greatest stock market timing model ever...and then left....and he never explained it further or mentioned it again.

To claim that an event occurred because Bob Brinker said it did (and ended) to get rid of the scenario he had spent years painting is just plain goofy. Would you tell me any other market analyst that says there was a secular bear market?

Would you please explain anybody who calls June 2006 ANYTHING in that connection?

A bull market begins at the bottom of a bear market. It appears that what we had was a bear market that lasted just more than 2 yrs from Aug 2000 to Oct 2002.

We have had a bull market for 5 years and counting.

To count Brinker's bizzare rambling as "reflective realization" makes me laugh....and feel sorry for those who do put so much stock in what is total BS.
