how about a money market account." Money market funds underperformed equities for most of the past twenty years. Yes, but BOB stated that he was into capital preservation during what he STATED was a bear market. That's the entire point about "perfection". It isn't perfection, some of us are just trying to have anyone make sense of how contradictory Bob's longterm stance is versus his QQQ trade. People are reeling from the QQQ trade and have ZERO idea when it may even breakeven. The least Bob could do is explain why he went totally against his own advice. Is Bob going to shrink the mention of QQQs until it falls off the pages of the Market Mistimer completely? What a huge disservice to his loyal and long-suffering subscribers. The least he could do is explain his reasoning and then advise more than one strategy for what to do now. Sitting and holding is what got people here in the first place. Is that the most rational thing to do here now? Is it worth selling and getting into more balanced investments and, what would those be in this market? That's what people pay to hear, he should provide his customers with something more than putting a blanket on his burro.

>>You keep measuring him against perfection, instead of comparing him to other real-world strategies you could have used<< your words. are you saying boob could not have invested in mm accounts from 1/00? btw, nice try at deflection, but it doesn't work. there was a specific time frame in question. mms are a specific real world strategy. you don't like the results so you change something to make bob look better! and you talk about bias. btw, i KNOW money markets worked well. yes, i was in stocks until 1/01 or 2/01 when the biotech bubble reached absurd levels and i bailed. went straight into money market funds and have been their ever since. so, one could have invested in the markets and then transferred one's wealth into mms back in early 2000. yes, that was an option b/c i did it with over 80% of my non real estate investment $$$ (i still hold a small portion of stocks). it was an option boob didn't take. it is an option you refuse to consider. why? the TRUTH hurt that badly you can't face it? btw, still waiting for the graham reference where graham went against fundamentals to gain from a ctr. you see, bad news boob is no graham and your mentioning them in the same name is a joke. graham would have been waaaaaaaaay out of the market before 1/2000 and he NEVER would have re-entered. in fact, boob would have been saying that graham was a bad news bear that wishes he'd NEVER been born. yeah, and graham would not have bought a b2b mufu at the bottom - to say nothing of the TOP! the TRUTH may hurt, but it doesn't change.
