Bob Brinker posted a special bulletin on his website yesterday. This made me wonder how much involvement his son, Bob Brinker, had in making their decisions. At a special appearance at a KGO Leukemia Cure-a-thon in San Jose, Brinker told the audience that he and his son were "up all night" prior to his March 2003 call. As we all know the market has since done a complete round-trip to the same 2003 level. Here is an excerpt from that event that David Korn published in his newsletter. David Korn wrote: Bob was asked to discuss his views on market volatility. Answer to #2: Bob started off by mentioning the QQQ trade. The audience exploded into laughter and he admitted it was a BIG mistake and it would never happen again. He said he looked for a counter trend rally in a bear market and it didn't work. He said he wishes he had put a stop-loss on that recommendation and he takes the blame for the mistake. He also said he took a lot of heat for his January 2000 call to go to cash. One tech stock holder was very upset when the market continued to rise, but he didn't hear anything from him again after March 2000. Bob said on March 10, 2003, he and his son were up all night when everything fell into place for his call to reenter the market. .
