>>He made the RIGHT decision to go to 60-40. Wrong. In hindsight, he made a good decision to go to 60/40. Did his model at that time make him uneasy about the future, yes. However, it cannot be the RIGHT decision because he did it for the wrong reasons. Using the wrong reasons invalidates the rightness of the decision.

Fake Dija says: " <<"Math do you believe that Brinker was LYING in January and February and early March 2000 when he would claim weekly that he was NOT BEARISH and had NOT ISSUED A SELL SIGNAL?">> math replied; "Nope. I think his model was bearish, but he was not. When it came time to pull the trigger, I think he discovered that he wasn't as sure of his model as he thought he was." --I agree with you. Any objective person will look at it the right way: We were in a bubble. Brinker obviously knew that. No one knows how long a bubble in anything might last. When brinker's model went bearish, he knew that if he issued a 100% sell signal he and his subscribers could get left in the dust. He made the RIGHT decision to go to 60-40." You and Math seem to be the experts in reading Brinker's mind and yet the loudest in complaining about his obvious motives. The guy was either lying, or incompetent. It's that simple.
