Richard, sorry it took me so long to respond to your post. I have been away for several days. With respect to your request for other market timing gurus similar to Brinker's style, you could of course check out Don Hays, Brinker's nemisis. Hays is banking on the bull big time, and it better come soon or he is going to be facing a QQQ fiasco. Hays also provides much more commentary and explanation for his moves than Brinker which is a plus if you like to undertstand their methodology. Another guy definitely worth checking out is James O. Rohrbach, "The Market Timer" who has received a lot of praise. He has a very different style than both Brinker and Flanagan. I only heard about him and started watcing him in the last year, but so far, he has done very well in the bear market from what I can tell. This is James O. Rohrbach's website where you can find more information about him and his service: investment-models.com There are plenty of other "gurus" and marketimers out there. Aaron Task on thestreet.com does his "guruvision" article often which tracks a bunch of market timers. Here is one he did a few months back, but he updates it frequently: thestreet.com Just to give some balance to this post, don't forget the wise words of John Bogle, former chairman of the Vanguard Group who had this to say regarding market timers: "In 30 years in this business, I do not know anybody who has done it successfully and consistently, nor anybody who knows anybody who has done it successfully and consistently. Indeed, my impression is that trying to do market timing is likely, not only not to add value to your investment program, but to be counterproductive." Good luck!
