Honey ask investor2: "Do you think Bob's view on the market is correct now? I sure hope it is." Maybe you could help me out here. Just what is Bob Brinker's current view on the Market? He hasn't issued a buy. No that's wrong he said buy at S&P 1400, 1300 and 1200 but now he is dollar cost averaging. I think he is waiting to call a bottom. Is that an accurate view of his current view of the market and Is that what you are hoping is correct?

Hi Investor2! Good to see you here. You asked: "Do you think Bob's view on the market is correct now?" As Joe pointed out, Brinker doesn't really have a current market view -- other than dollar-cost-averaging all new equity money into the market. Brinker is currently waiting for a new market bottom. He specifically called two bottoms last year (and several all-in buy-signals) that were blown out of the water. In any case, there is no way that he can be "right" as far as his model portfolios are concerned because they have been fully invested all the way down and still are.... In the January 2009 Marketimer, he made these PROFOUND PREDICTIONS: “We see several key factors that are likely to provide the basis for economic recovery by the second-half of 2009……We expect a sustainable market uptrend to begin several months before the end of the recession." "ROAR"!! .
