Nice summary! One question, is it a typo when you wrote, "They did default in any case in the great depression and they certainly haven't defaulted in this recession......" in the paragraph about California bonds? Should it be, "They didn't default in the great depression? Thanks for your work. I2

Thanks. I am glad he seems to have taken the critical comments we've posted about his evading the CA GO question to heart. I bet he was surprised he didn't melt like the Wicked Witch of the West after he gave an honest answer to the question. Of course, I think the fact CA muni bond funds have rallied since he evaded the question may have had much to do with the timing of the answer.

With the S&P500 at 825, I think Brinker would love people to debate a "bottom call" so they forget he was bullish and fully invested at the very top, predicting we'd hit 1600 in 2008 and calling S&P500 at 1450 a "gift horse buying opportunity." This is what he said about a year ago: January 2008 Marketimer with S&P500 @ 1468.36 : Dollar Cost Average. Lump sum mid 1400's Pg 3: “In summary, the Marketimer stock market timing model indicates that conditions are favorable for the market as we enter 2008. We expect the S&P Index to achieve new record highs this year and to reach the 1600’s range in the process. We continue to rate the market attractive for purchase on any weakness into the S&P 500 Index mid-1400’s range. Above this range we prefer a dollar-cost-average approach for new purchases. All Marketimer model portfolios remain fully invested as we enter 2008."
