RE: "Brinker never advocates more than 1% of the portfolio be allocated for any given issue, if memory serves." I believe his limit is 4%, by cost. Best wishes, I2

I looked at my notes of the weekend Moneytalk shows and The Brink specifically said to buy spiders on any dip below 92. Spiders opened Monday morning at 91 and the rest is history. As for Intel at 69, all I can say about that purchase is YES. My notes also say Brinker predicted Intel would report a good quarter and would avoid negativity in the conference call. Well, they certainly did all of that. And Brinker also said AMAT, KLAC, NVLS and TER would take off as investors looked to the semi cap equipment explosion in '99 & '00. Did you see those stocks rocket off their Monday morning lows? Wow!

Dear Truman, Re:"The Brinker Effect" For years we have been listening to the Brink and how many listeners call the show right after a buying opportunity and ask, "Bob, what should I do with my lump sum of money?" How about the listener who called after Bob gave a (gift horse) signal and said,"Bob I just sold my funds at dow 5400 now that the market is doing well should I put it back in now at dow 6100?" It takes much more than having the right information. One must have the fortitude to ACT upon it. I know I'm preaching to the choir HERE, but the world outside this thread has a hard time staying the course even when they are handed the MAP. It seems to me even though Bob is well heard the number of people truly listening is much smaller.This will just be to our advantage when will be able to gracefully leave the market on that day the bear returns. Respectfully yours, Tony
