Why would a marketimer who pimps his ride as being able to avoid bear markets which we have had be down at all? Wasn't the claim that with marketiming Brinker would get out within a few % of the top--that was 1560 something, go to 100% cash and get money market returns until returning within 3% of the low? That's the jive he sold. What happened? Reality sucks? Marketiming made to sell? What gives?

Midwest_investor ask: "At any rate, P1 being the most aggressive, and P3 being much less so, one has to be careful which to invest in. For me, I'm closer to P3, and I'm down almost exactly 5% YTD. Just for fun, would you happen to have the P3 number YTD? Thanks in advance!!! Bob Brinker's P3 is down 6.2 % YTD thru 31 May 2008. When Brinker publishes his numbers next week, I will be able to show his YTD performance through 30 Jun 2008. I believe Kirk and David Korn have a similar portfolio in their retirement newsletter. Maybe one of them could share their results so that we can compare it to Brinker. PS If you are a Marketimer subscriber, I am sorry for the losses you have incurred because Brinker failed to identify this bear market.
