Justa: Re: "He might be reluctant to discuss the equity markets for reasons we can discuss again if it happens." Well, it seems Brinker was not reluctant at all today to comment on the equity markets. He laid it all out. He did not hold back in the slightest. Anybody confused? Bear market? Yep. Bullish on bonds? Yep. But nobody will ever know the real story behind today's great program. Nobody will ever know how close they came to being left twisting in the wind on his market view. You can thank all the axe grinders for this potential development. But what is Brinker's problem? What is today? June 24th? Why would Brinker divulge such a detailed view of his market view before sending out his market newsletter at the beginning of next month? I thought he was in it for the money. He wants to sell as many newsletters as possible according to the grinders. But he could have held out until after the bear market rally matured to say anything to at least mid July but he decided to give you all a heads up even though it will no doubt appear all over the negative internet sites and summarized transcripts. He gave you his thinking free of charge without concern for the Kornheads and negativity all over the net. He could have easily shut up and gave it to all his subscribers only under copyright protection. We owe him a great deal of thanks for sharing his view. But you won't see too much in the way of gratitude except on this forum as it was intended to operate under this charter. And I would listen closely to the programs of this weekend. My proprietary Brinker indicators tell me that he will not be on the air next weekend. And they have not failed me yet. But Brinker thought so much of his loyal listeners to give them a heads up on his market view so they could consider it in his absence. And if my proprietary indicators are correct, then I would suggest you read this post again and think about the second paragraph and I what I have said previously about the possibility of Brinker leaving the radio for good if axe grinders take over. How many times did you hear the copright warnings today? Didn't he lead off with one? Get the picture yet? Oh sure, it is so easy to put on the ignore button or to step back and do nothing in the face of the grinders. I mean, why deal with all the craziness on the net? It is easier and, perhaps, understandable for healthy individuals to walk away. But hear me now or regret the consequences later, if you respect Brinker and like his program it is time to stand up and be counted and to do your fair share to encourage Brinker to continue to do what he does best and to reject the axe grinding posters. For some odd reason the axe grinders need us for they will not go away when they are asked and they have alternative forums available to them. We don't need them. More later...
