OT, as not pure GG'ing--- Hi Bruce, (And I better quit this OT'ing soon, else I may invite (and be deserving of) uf's famous "PI" signoff.) <g> I find it interesting that you will follow what Brinker says, but would not hold him accountable by doing so. Slight correction of what I said: I'll hold Brinker accountable (by no longer subscribing and no longer following his calls) if it's clear after several years that he's hurting rather than helping me. But, if he continues to make his mostly good calls (particularly the big long term ones (e.g. MOABO) which involve the big $$$ commitments and for which his track record is so good), then I won't blame him if a particular call - such as the current QQQ call - goes against me. No timer (and no stock picker) is perfect. Wouldn't it be worth your time as an investor to develop your own plan and study the micro and macro issues of the economy so you know what kind of balanced portfolio you need for your retirement needs? Maybe it would, and maybe not. But, in a way, I HAVE developed my "own plan"; it's to use the methods of G. Moore (as modified by some on this wonderful board) for stock picking for LTBH), and the calls of B. Brinker (as modified by me and with influences of others) for timing. Given the amount of time I have chosen to devote to my investments, I am not able to do the DD necessary to pick stocks without help from others, and I have neither the time nor the financial background to study the fundamentals and technicals necessary to do my own timing. I'm using an approach that, I think, meets my needs - balancing investment success versus time spent. For now, I'm happy with it. Thanks for a stimulating discussion, and Happy Holidays to you and yours. d
