<<Warren said his derivatives were "different" than those he warned about but he's lost a couple of billion anyway.>> --EVERYBODY makes mistakes. Some people (including a few who post on this board) don't seem to understand that simple fact of life.

#1 difference between Brinker and people like Buffett or even I. Brinker was wildly bullish at the top. He had his CONSERVATIVE P3 66% in equities and he said put ALL NEW MONEY 100% into equities in the mid 1400s. Brinker called mid 1400s a GIFT HORSE BUYING OPPORTUNITY! I said take profits and can and have shown you the page in my newsletter to prove it. I cut my allocation some at the top to have more cash to buy any market downturns and I still have plenty of cash to buy. Buttett had a similar percentage of BRKA in cash (maybe 30% for Warren) waiting for bargains. We've both been buying. I managed to buy two more times on the day the market was in the 700s whereas Brinker called mid 1400s a GIFT HORSE BUY and said become fully invested in a lump sum. All Brinker can do is try and pretend he was not wildly bullish at the top. The rest of your prattle is noise disguised as hatred to take the heat off Brinker. I doubt it helps sell Marketimer newsletters.
