Now we are getting somewhere. So you are saying in addition to the fact that Brinker's model portfolios basically suck, that there is no such rating by Hulbert. So I guess you are saying that someone would have to have rocks in their head to pay for Brinker's newsletter because his portfolios greatly underperforms the index and his timing and QQQuestionable trading moves are known to anyone interested within hours of issue. Are you claiming that Hulbert has a rating for timers that doesn't include their own performance? Please show me a link to any such table. Never heard of such a thing. What is the beginning and the ending of this "long term timing" classification Brinker changed his website claim to from "Number 1 in 5, 10 and 15 year" Hulbert ratings.

How strange that Hulbert ranks Brinker's Marketimer differently from what you are proclaiming. Perhaps you should set up a performance-tracking newsletter. Hulbert says that he ranks Brinker based on his three "model portfolios"--including the one that is about 50% bonds--as math junkie has pointed out. Unless you're talking about the "hypothetical portfolio" that Hulbert set up to give Bob Brinker a number one spot for market-timing ONLY. Hulbert must have given up on Brinker making number one with his actual portfolios. Brinker's Marketimer barely makes number three, "risk-adjusted" and with a BIG mulligan on the QQQQs.
