LOL Pete, Now that is funny. Actually you left out the most important premise where Brinker is concerned. Premise # 1. --Brinker will change anything he said at the drop of a hat if it fits what happened and will in his mind help him schlept a newsletter. Brinker is nothing if not TOTALLY INCONSISTANT. Well I guess you could say that he is consistant in being inconsistant. Remember this is the guy who one time aborted a QQQ countertrend rally call when it was about even claiming "The most important thing in a bear market is capital preservation" Two months later he made the same trade and watched as the QQQs went from 87 down to 19 urging people to hold all the way down. "We don't sell on weakness" he said in that case. Which premise did you buy? It's an ever changing world where Brinker's words are concerned. One should understand that before they come up with any premises. But it is fun to watch people who try to make gibberish look like quality analysis. I honestly think you actually swallowed Don Lane's whoppers and are a true believer. I hope it doesn't come as too big a shock when you finally see the guy in a proper perspective.

Thank you, Pete...you just proved that what Brinker writes in his newsletter is not UNRELIABLE and subject to change (and cover-up) at any time. So Pete, was Brinker telling the truth when he said that secular trends are not "relevant" in June, 2007 or was he telling the truth when he said they were "relevant" in September 2002? (And countless other times that I could quote if you like.) September 2002, Brinker said: "In our view the probability of a new secular bull market beginning anytime soon is essentially zero, given the fact we are only in the third year of the current secular bear megatrend.............Based on this analysis, we view the three cyclical bear market bottoms that occurred within the 1966-1982 secular bear market as most relevant to the current market experience............As subscribers know, we believe the current secular bear market began in the first quarter of year 2000. Therefore, any bear market bottoms that occur going forward for many years are expected to be cyclical bear market bottoms within an ongoing secular bear trend, as was the case within the first three bottom listed above." ………………………
