"He is now saying that the market has to go 10% above the S&P peak of 2000 before the secular bear ends."

I see. So here again Brinker is shifting his parameters to suit the circumstances.

I recall when I pointed out that his continued yammering about the time frame for his countertrend rally on the QQQs had overlapped what his glossary defined as a time frame for cyclical markets....Brinker immediately changed the time frames for cyclical markets. Arbitrarily in response to my observation.

His "glossary" used to describe cyclical bull and bear markets as lasting 6 months to two years. Since his time frame for his "counter trend rally" had ran out to nearly a year--he changed the definition of cyclical events to "one to three years".

Now I haven't checked the glossary lately but I assume that he has added "outlier" to the list. LOL

It's a big JOKE. Anyone who pays serious attention to that bs to paraphrase Dija talking about poor goobers and geezers who trusted Brinker, deserves what they get.

The guy is selling newsletters--he rearranges his words to try to fit prior claims. It's only fun to watch if you dont' take him seriously.

He is now saying that the market has to go 10% above the S&P peak of 2000 before the secular bear ends. Of course, all he has to do now is wait another year and then if it does go over that, he will simply say that he told us that secular bear markets lasted from 8-20 years and he was right all along. :)

Hmmm

""When people are reporting the total return on the total stock market index for 2006, why do they tell people only what the index did and ignore the dividend? I don't have an answer for you, except to say that they are misleading people. They must have some reason--it could be ignorance, it could be an agenda.... "

Brinker said: "But what we do know is within secular trends there are no cases where a secular trend has gone beyond the previous peak by more than, by more than 10%. It's never happened, so I think it's fair to say that until that happens, the secular trend is intact."

Brinker uses too many words so he is no Yogi Bera who said "It aint over until its over!"
