Honey says: Generally speaking, you can't buy stocks retroactively. . Although, I understand it's possible to call the end of a non-existent secular bear megatrend that way. 8^) No, you can't buy or sell stocks retroactively...but some people CAN tell retroactively roughly when a market trend ended and a new trend began. It's called analyzing historical data.

<<Honeybee sez: The sad, but important fact that Brinker neglected to mention is that he didn't tell Moneytalk listeners about this buying opportunity until AFTER the market was way above that level.>> --Honey, where is it written that Brinker is required to divulge the contents of his newsletter for free on the radio? Besides, your buddy stockalot says it's all a "parlor game," so why should you or anyone care that he doesn't give it away for free? If stockalot is right (which I don't think he is), then he's doing his radio listeners a favor by not playing this game with them. Also, after criticizing him the week before for pretending his mid-1400s call was "perfect," you failed to apologize this week after he said subscribers had many opportunities to buy in the mid-1400s "or even lower." Where is your sense of fairness? If you criticize him for something, and he corrects it, shouldn't you at least acknowledge this and give him credit for it? <<Although, I understand it's possible to call the end of a non-existent secular bear megatrend that way. 8^)>> --Honey, I've explained this to you before, but you continue to ignore it because, otherwise, you would have one less thing to criticize. And we know you certainly wouldn't want THAT! ALL SECULAR MEGATRENDS ARE IDENTIFIED SOME TIME AFTER THEY ACTUALLY BEGAN OR ENDED. You CAN legitimately criticize him for calling an end to something that, as far as we know, never happened. However, you cannot LEGITIMATELY criticize him for calling the end retroactively. There is NO OTHER WAY to identify the end to a secular-anything than after the fact!!!!
