Rather than whine about you, I wish people like that would add something of value about Brinker. Perhaps he has a follow-up on this MarkeMIStimer quote from 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."

Octavian said: "---LOL! Honey, thanks for bringing your infamous balance, objectivity and "truth" into the equation!!!" honeybee responded: <<Octavian, If you found something in my post that was unbalanced, not-objective and/or untruthful, please state exactly what it was.>> --Honeybee, skeeter bug posted an opinion that brinker had lost money over the past 10 years. Math then posted statistics to demonstrate that skeeter's opinion was wrong. Your post was COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT to the conversation, which was about 10-year results, and was clearly intended ONLY to make brinker look bad. You picked the exact time frame that made him look the worst, and used that to make your "point," which was a very weak point indeed. The reason it was a weak point is that Brinker's results were in line with the market during that time. But of course YOU left THAT INFORMATION OUT! This is why I always say that while you DO post factual information, you don't really post the TRUTH. Your goal is not the truth; your goal is to make brinker look as bad as possible. JMO.
