Queen said: "...but how can we agree that either was too bullish for the year..." I don't know about Abby, but I do know about Brinker, and he was a raging bull as we entered the year. He was spouting that the November correction had "restored" health to the market, and that the market was "favorable" as we entered 2008. Yeah, right...it was favorable for about one week. LOL! And don't forget he did away with the "secular bear megatrend" last June (saying it had ended the year before). So if we are not in a secular bear megatrend what does the leave? And we know he's short-term and intermediate-term bullish. So it's safe to conclude that the man is a bullish short, intermediate (oops) and long-term -- right now at least. He may have to change everything and start over if the market doesn't follow his latest plan. .

Queenie trying to alibi for Bob Brinker uses the old "Well nobody else knew-- blah blah blah" You see, when one points out that Brinker's marketiming game is like a fortuneteller or a parlor trick by pointing out his equivocating and hiding when he is wrong--the alibi brigade will quickly ask "Who predicted that this would happen?"-- Well actually there were quite a few people. The point though is that Brinker is the one and one of only a few claiming to be a "marketimer". He's a talker, nothing more.
