I2 I can tell you that Brinker is not in any of Hulbert's top 5 performers (of all the newsletters Hulbert ranks) in the 5-year time frame -- adjusted for risk, or not adjusted for risk. Ditto for the mutual fund newsletters only that Hulbert ranks. .

Do you happen to know what rank Hulbert gives to Brinker's timing now? I haven't heard the rank for a while. Best wishes, I2 No. Hulbert is sort of hit and miss with what he says about and when he ranks pure market timers. He often does updates from what his "top 10 timers" are saying but I've not seen that in awhile as most were wrong about this bear so he may have given up. Most of the studies I've seen from Hulbert and from others says much of what he does and reports is mostly useless for predicting the future... which is not a big surprise. K
