Good list and I am glad you keep his feet to the fire! To reiterate your point: How can someone "get one right" when he didn't issue a sell? It is absurd. I pointed out on another board that in 2008 (when Bob Brinker bashed the "recession Casandras" and bragged about being 100% in stocks ,covering up his mid 1400s gift horse buy, that the market rallied after ECRI made its recession call (from about 1300 to 1400 if I recall) to just over its 200DMA before it crashed. Today's rally just took us above the 200 DMA so I took profits in SPY... I sold the shares at $127.50 with an "auto sell" limit order that I got for my explore portfolio with an "Auto Buy" limit order at $117 on Aug. 5. I bought the shares with cash I raised on July 8th when I took my portfolio from 68% equities to 63% equities. The idea Brinker gets away with multiple buys when he never sold anything should make honest people vomit. I'll give your post on the other board a "rec!"
