Bob Brinker did not "go bearish near the 2000 highs." It was August 2000 when he actually went "bearish." That is when he increased his cash reserves from 60 to 65%. And then he recommended putting 20-50% of that 65% cash reserves into QQQ, a trade that lost over 79% of value. I would not waste my time trying to set the record straight for you because I believe that you are truly unable to face facts about Bob Brinker. But I sure don't like to see false information put out there that might cost some hapless person money who got suckered into Brinker's market-timing hocus-pocus. As for Brinker being a permabull. What would YOU call someone who has not issued any sell signals in over eight years? .

Re: "Bob went bearish near the 2000 highs and went bullish right at the 2003 retest low at S&P 800 riding it up for a double. He was bullish through most all of the 1990's and right on the retest correction lows in 1998 we went to a screaming buy followed which the market exploded higher pretty much straight up to the 2000 highs." Don't forget about my favorites - the Gift Horse Buying Opportunities in 1994 and 1996. Best wishes, I2

This is really the ECRI show and they've never faced such a stark test. All the market analysts are saying the data is getting more positive and a recession will be avoided including Sonders who was on Kudlow and obviously Bob and others. Also the WLI has the market as a significant component so I wonder if it will still down-tick further given the recent market strength. They're either going to have made perhaps their greatest call ever or if the economy recovers it will be a spectacular failure of monumental proportions. Hope I've made the right move in assuming their call will be correct.
