Several notes: On Saturday, Brinker made short work of the Fools especially with regard to the so-called "Fools 4" strategy. Suffice it to say, it seems to work well if you pick the right four issues. To be sure, Brinker reiterated his bias toward a more general market approach. Indeed, on Sunday, it came as some little surprise when Brinker announced he does not own the Vanguard 500 fund, only the Vanguard Total Market fund. Has anyone noted that the bull/bear ratio recorded on the opening page on Silicon Investor Stock Talk has been surging of late and now favors bulls over bears more than two to one? Granted this sentiment indicator is highly anecdotal, but does this recent bullish surge unsettle anyone else here? To update our own Alan Whirlwind's medical condition (Alan is apparently undergoing a double lung transplant), we have this from another thread: From: J. Nelson Sunday, Jan 4 1998 9:24AM EST I did make a call just now, and Mr. Gust (Alan Whirlwind) is still with us after the surgery; the nurse I spoke with said he is still in Intensive Care and will be for a few days. They will allow anyone outside the family to call at that time when he is taken out of the I/C unit. The phone number in Milwaukee is 1-414-259-3000 for Froedtert Memorial Hospital. So far, we are in the light with our friend and the prayers are working. So, come on Alan; we miss you! ------------------------------------------ God speed you to recovery, Sir Alan.
