I see that even though Bob Brinker (the junior one) did not post his yearly results for his fixed income newsletter, the figures are out. Mark Hulbert, for reasons known only to himself (but it seems rather obvious to most people), started covering Bob Brinker's (the junior one) newsletter almost immediately. This newsletter doesn't have 5-year returns, like the vast majority of the newsletters that Hulbert follows, so all he can show is the 1-year returns. That's the good news and the bad news for the junior Bob Brinker. LOL! The junior Bob Brinker's fixed income portfolios lost "on average" 10.4% in 2008. His "aggressive" fixed income portfolio lost 21.7% Looks like his consultant, Bob Brinker (the senior one), must have told him to use some of the same methods as Marketimer, which lost "on average" (including fixed income, active/passive and balanced portfolios) 31.8%. Some "market-timing." .
