History is very useful. Much can be learned. What I have learned is it seems that Brinker has learned the difference between a correction and a bear market. Unlike the 30% 1987 "correction", Brinker stayed fully invested in the >20% correction of 1998 (in real time it was over 20%, but still a correction, not a bear - hence we disagree on terms, but resuts, we don't)

Bottom line, Bob Brinker and/or his timing model kept his investors in on the last correction.

In 1987, he went to cash at the bottom (greatly reduced asset allocation to equities) and I think was back on the bull wagon by sometime in 1990. This is what the old charts show and is certainly fair to go back that far, but it seems the most recent 5 or 10 years is more relavent.

In this article suite101.com, I list the top timers by Timer Digest for the last 2 years and their predictions for the DOW. Brinker is in a 3-way tie for second place. Pretty darn good by any standard.

Thanks for the heads-up. I will have to get this magazine.
