WOW! His conservative "best idea", FIUIX, went down 70% in the two years following the recommendation. It is a good thing his Hulbert record was not effected because he chose, at that time, to not include the recommendation in his model portfolios. I betcha if the market continued to go up, you would hear him and his posse' of dija, queen and math talk about how much added value this recommendation gave to subscribers just like MSFT did in the 1990s. April 7, 2000 Marketimer I.R.A. RECOMMENDATIONS Marketimer recommends the following investments as our best ideas for 1999 I.R.A. contributions, which can be made through April 17, and Year 2QQO contributions. Each investment should be selected based on your personal investment objectives and should be integrated as part of your overall asset allocation strategy managed from the top down.

Hey Stocky, I see it's just like the old days over at 101 where Kirk piggybacks on your posts and slips in one or twenty of those "clever embedded ads". You guys make a good tag team. Anyway, I see you are both yapping about what Brinker was or wasn't doing six years ago. Both of you yapping that Brinker wasn't a real bear, he recommended the wrong fund yada, yada, yada. But the truth is, whether you call him a bear or not Brinker got mostly out of the market in January, 2000 while Kirk and 101 other clowns were happily chirping that it was early innings and rode that ol' bear all the way down. Did you ever see Kirk's pitiful results for that period? And this is only for the handful of penny stocks he calls the explore part. Imagine what he could do with a whole portfolio and real money? 2002: -21.2% 2001: 1.27% 2000: -11% But it's good to see you and Kirk working together again. You will be back at 101 before you know it and when you do, I would highly recommend you check out Kirk's thread where you can sign up to make some loose change reading email ads. It's a multi-level scheme so be sure you go through Kirk's post so he can get a penny for each email ad YOU read. Clever huh?
