While his model portfolios are fully invested (since 2003!), Bob Brinker has been recommending dollar-cost-averaging "on weakness" all along. So I guess if someone robs a bank or his great Aunt Tillie dies, he might have some new money for the market. Otherwise, how ridiculous for Brinker to "go out buy."

Three weeks ago on Moneytalk (S&P at 1290) he bragged that he had been buying. How can any intelligent person take the man's market-timing seriously anymore? The mind boggles.
