ETF1 Robert,

When you reflect upon it, the advice "We continue to rate the stock market attractive for purchase during periods of WEAKNESS" is rather generic. He would not be perceived well and would not sell many newsletter subscriptions if his advice were "We continue to rate the stock market attractive for purchase during periods of STRENGTH". With this message, he's placing the responsibility of pulling the trigger on any purchases of stock with the listener and advising the listener / subscriber to do their own individual work necessary to satisfy them personally that they perceive the market is weak. That work could involve looking at graphs of market history and trends and making their own conclusion, and/or, it could simply mean placing a buy order at some buyer determined percentage below current price levels and hoping it gets executed at that lower level.

As for the "MarkeTIMER" title of his newsletter, it sort of implies your getting Bob's brilliant calls on when to buy & sell stock/mutual funds. It takes a while to come to the conclusion that the title could be a tool to generate subscriptions. Who was it who said "You've gotta have a gimmick" :-)

JMHO.
