<< HELLooo NEWman! While it's BIZARRO, it's true to form, eh? But think about it - had he issued a "buy call" on that big up day, he might be vulnerable to the same fate as his reputation was with his second QQQ call in the fall of year 2000. I doubt if you'll get your bulletin until a traditional bottom process ending in a successful bottom retest plays out. >> Now if you are making fun of what is obviously a totally clueless bunch of hubris that is Bob Brinker's marketiming I can agree. But P of Boca if you are trying to convince people that Bob Brinker is right on top of this market and will likely call a bottom based on technical hokus pokus, you are really doing anyone reading this thread a great disservice. You surely are aware that Bob Brinker was gung ho bullish at the top, 1565 in the fall of 07. You know he has remained an unabashed bull ever since. You know beyond a doubt that Bob Brinker made fun of those who were bearish in the 1400s and called them "False Prophets and "Cassandras" around the first of June 08. He claimed that those who were bearish and suggesting people sell, were ruining their financial futures. How'd that go for those who trusted Brinker rather than those False Prophets and Cassandras Pete from Boca? As you I am sure know besides being a raging bull at the top of 1565, Bob Brinker called for "new all time highs" well in the 1600s. You know Bob Brinker has called "buying opportunities" (same as "bottoms" in that one is supposed to throw the kitchen sink at that great point in the market ALL THE WAY DOWN. Since you are seeemingly defending his acumen on calling bottoms feel free to correct me where I am wrong. Didn't Bob Brinker say he was bullish at the very top and that the "secular bear market endend in 2006? 2) Didn't Bob Brinker predict all new highs in the 1600s on the S&P? 3) Didn't Bob Brinker issue "go all in" "gifthorse buying opportunity calls" at 1450 1380 1300s 1200s and 840? Why would you now tell someone that you can predict that Bob Brinker will call a succesful retest of a bottom? He's proven he doesn't have a FRIGGIN CLUE of where a bottom is in this market? How much more proof does one need than the simple record? Why promote this guy and pretned that you know that he will hit a bottom on a "successful bottom retest " when he has made several bottom calls including many when his believers had twice as much money as they do to date following his advice? Btw this same techincal hokus pokus was used by many of his syncophants to alibi for his QQQ call in 2000 . I heard many claim he knew what he was doing on a techincal basis just like you alluded to here. His QQQs were bought at $80.00 or more. He's never sold them P from Boca. How do you explain that in light of your surity that he will give a bottom (after missing it a half dozen times all the way down?)

I think his reputation as a market timer is shot given how bullish he was last year and how he kept saying we had bottomed last year. (And the bashing of the bears to boot). Then repeating that we had bottomed this year and then finally giving up on the market it seemed. What reputation does he have left on that front? Seems like the QQQQ all over again anyhow. Doesn't talk about it all these days. Marked rallied 10% this week and I hear Bob talking about the unemployment report from the prior week.
