Sweetie Pie, I'm quite familiar with his record and go back a lot further than you to his first radio show in October 1981. I heard him tell investors to get 100% invested in August 1982 at DOW 777. Having that longer-term perspective makes his record look a lot better than measuring from the peak just before the market crashed in 1987 (despite the fact that the S&P500 ended UP for year 1987). WHAT EVER YOU THINK OF HIS RECORD IS YOUR BUSINESS. If you are dissatisfied with it, why obsess over the man. Just move on to following someone you have more respect for. IT IS A DISTORTION TO SAY "...Brinker's "forecasts" are often false rather than true." I WOULD NEVER MAKE SUCH A POINT. William Blake once noted that "the eye that alters, alters all things." This statement is very simple yet very profound in your case. P
