Bob Brinker did what you said in 2000-2003. So what? He stayed fully invested until the S&P 500 Index dropped a 134 points BELOW his 2003 buy-in level. (The S&P bottomed in March 2009 at 677 -- he went 100% invested at 811 in March 2003 and has never raised cash since then.) I think you are someone who has a real ax to grind on this thread since you have made 2 posts since 2003 and one of them was here. So let me tell you this: In all the years that I have held Bob Brinker's feet to the fire (so to speak) I have never once lied or unfairly bashed him. To use Harry Truman's old saying, I just tell the truth and they think it is "bashing." .

Huh? "Truth is Brinker went 60% to cash in his model portfolio in January 2000 and increased cash to 65% in August 2000. His models returned to the market in March 2003 around the S&P 800 range." What about this? Brinker rode that trade from the $87 to $19 and NEVER issued a sell. and And something Dilbert ignores: From " Effect of QQQ Advice on Reported Model Portfolio Results" "Conclusion: I calculate the QQQQ advice caused Brinker's reported total to drop by 29% and his APR to drop 2.0% a year" Obviously, anyone PAYING BOB BRINKER FOR ADVICE was told to jump into the NASDAQ big time in 2000 far closer to its top than the bottom. It also looks like anyone who paid him for money management was given the NASDAQ treatment also as the letter shows.
