ETF1 Robert,

Brinker's local New York City program in the early 1980's focused a lot on when he talks about today - the advantages of disciplined dollar-cost-averaging into the market for the long term, maxing out on employer savings plans (401K's) and Traditional IRA's, .....

To the contrary, he seemed to poo poo timing market stating that the long term dollar-cost-averaging investor buys more shares when the markets correct, He poked fun at pundits like Elaine Gazarelli and others appearing on Louis Ruckyser's Wall Street Week who appeared to warn investors to get out of the market at certain times. He wasn't selling his Marketimer newsletter until 1986-87 (don't remember exactly), but he was giving mixed messages on the radio just prior to the 1987 crash so no followers got out of the market before the crash based on his advice. He subsequently bragged about how the market recovered that crash your to show an up years by about 5% or whatever.
