Dija, PMFJI, but I have been waiting to see if you would get a response to this post where you made some very good points. How about it stockalot, do you have anything you would like to say? I will repost #22883 for your convenience, or anyone else who would care to answer. Seems like too good a post to be over looked. stockalot said: <<...because I did not believe him when he claimed that Brinker's portfolios outperformed using the Wilshire 5000 when Brinker's timing moves were applied to both.>> --OK. I'm am going to try to explain this to you one more time, although I'm sure you won't understand because you do not WANT to understand. First, do you have the July newsletter? You have never answered this simple question,but I have to assume you have access to it since you have quoted from it when it suited your purposes. I called you a liar because I believed you had the newsletter, or had access to it, or had a friend you could contact who could verify what I said. If you do have access to the newsletter, then you were lying when you said, or intimated that, brinker's portfolios did not outperform the indexes over the past 5 years. <<Nevertheless we do have it on record that indeed according to Hulbert when you examine Brinker's "long term record" (that he is current bragging about with no clarification in his newsletter), using the Wilshire 5000 applied to Brinker's timing calls gives you substantially better results than using BRinker's fund picks.>> --Over the last 5 years, that is not true. All I have ever said on this thread is that Bob's P1 and P2 both beat the indexes over the past 5 years. You have spun and twisted and used every trick in the book to try to deny that, and to make others believe it is not true. <<This is very important and Dija should know it and not call someone a liar for pointing it out.>> --I did NOT call you a liar for pointing out Hulbert's report covering 1987-2005. I simply told you that you had drifted off the subject (on purpose, obviously). I also told you that virtually no one (actually NO ONE with a diversified portfolio) beat the indexes in any time period that included the 1990s, because mega-big-cap stocks ruled. Of course, you KNOW that is true, so you ignored me and did not respond, but just twisted everything I had said in #22846 out of shape. I don't really blame you for doing that. It was your only option because you had been checkmated and beaten!
