Pete - In her NBR appearence, Lady Elaine made a forcast that was almost impossible to be wrong given the market's fundementals. To me that is not a forcast at all and doesn't make her a "smart person." My impression of her NBR performance was that she just might be one of those gurus "who wished they had never been born." She said nothing useful, she gave no reasons for her "predictions", and I sure felt she didn't want to be there. Last night's shows on the market - CNBC, Nightline, etc - really brought home the importance of some things Bob was saying about these "market gurus." Guess who was on every show - Mr. Bowtie. Mr. Oppenheimer, Mr. Dow 10000 were also very present. They were saying the same nonsense they always say and I think they were doing the listeners of these shows a major disservice. Mr. Bowtie must have really gone to a lot of effort to make sure he would appear on all those shows.

If Elaine is so smart, why did she tell the world to sellout the U.S. stock market at Dow 5400 in July of 1996 and then stay out of the market until early in 1997 when the Dow had soared straight up 1600 points to near the 7000 level. This advice is much worse than wrong. This advice is a disaster for any poor investor who happened to follow the Princess of Wink. She should consider paying her customers to listen to her advice instead of the other way around.
