"...Kirk was excited (and buying) last September when VIX hit 42.5 Timing the market is difficult, even for a master like Kirk..." That's true. Kirk claims he is not a market timer while at the same time claims he has "proprietary" market timing indicators. I guess if you put one of those copyright marks by your name then everything you ever copy/write belongs to you... March 22, 2007 5:04 PM » Kirk Lindstrom - The U.S. VIX volatility index is near to its pre-correction low ...The VIX is used in one of my proprietary sentiment indicators...It is one of my "early warning" indicators that gave a buy before some of the others on the list. I'd hate to give Brinker all my tricks, eh?... Kirk doesn't want Brinker to steal his secrets!!!

The bashers seem to think that Brinker should spend half of his time talking about his mistakes. But I think THEY spend even less time fessing up than Bob does! More basher double standards!

"...Kirk was excited (and buying) last September when VIX hit 42.5...Timing the market is difficult, even for a master like Kirk..." You know that VIX indicator is one of Kirk's proprietary timing secrets don't you? Even though he doesn't claim to be a market timer!! Go figure that one. I think that's what he uses when he calls a new bottom most every Friday. Yesterday was no exception. Kirk says we are surely testing that 2008 bottom once again. Like Brinker, he throws out a lot of bottom calls and pretty soon he actually comes close.... Friday, January 30, 2009 *"VIX Indicating We Are Testing November 2008 Bottom"*
