I2 said: "....and he doesn't expect a huge decline." That is true I2, Brinker thinks that the November lows may be tested, but he expects them to hold. .

He [Bob Brinker] suggests dollar-cost averaging at these levels, and he doesn't expect a huge decline. So at 1565 he was bullish with a gift horse buy level in the mid 1400s but today with the S&P500 at 820 he is back to DCA rather than a lump sum in? Did he say "DCA" or "DCA on weakness?" I recall in 2003 when the S&P was in the mid 800s he said to "DCA on weakness near 810 or lower" which never came as the market went up and up. He later changed it to regular DCA then he added the gift horse buy. What sort of successful market timer is more bullish at 1565 than at 850 in 2003 or 820 in 2009?
