I would be interested in knowing if you think that he is "having it both ways" when he issues "buy-signals" while his model portfolios (and his advice is to be) fully invested. If you are uncomfortable answering, I fully understand.

Sorry I wasn't clear enough. The answer to your question is NO.

HB, From my viewpoint, when you ask is Brinker "having it both ways" when he issues "buy-signals" while his model portfolios (and his advice is to be) fully invested; it implies an expectation of "FAIRness". It seems to me that a person with such expectations would whine that Brinker is 'unFAIR" if the conclusion was "yes - he' s having it both ways". I would think that from Brinker's perspective, he would see such a complaint as totally lame and childish. Nobody is forced to act on Brinker's information, advice, and buy-sell calls. He just publishes them and hopes they ultimately generate more newsletter subscription revenues and enhance his radio program ratings from people interested in his views who respect the methods he describes as how he arrives at such views. Brinker's opinions and proprietary methods at arriving at them are out there competing with all other investment pundits who may or may not arrive at their opinions using the differing methods to make their buy-sell calls (ie. technical analysis, sentiment, moving averages of stock market indexes, seasonal stock market history .... whatever). All of these views and methods at arriving at them are out there for an individual investor to choose or not choose from. IN THE END, EACH INVESTOR APPROPRIATELY TAKES RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN INVESTMENT DECISIONS no matter what they are based upon and no matter how fair or unfair they perceive the pundit's methods are. JMHO with the reasoning for it :-) P
