Yes, a truly amazing call. Not only the precision in time, but the magnitude of the buying opportunity. From Brinker's comments one could have set a limit order for SPY that was right on target, leaving virtually no money on the table.

From Tim Bagwell's post #2750 of Sunday Jan 11:

"Yes the buy point is in the 7400's or 920 on the S&P500. We are essentially there now. The rally should be led by large caps."

We know what happened the next day.

Justa,

The time precision of BB's recent call was unique. But he has had a great deal of precision about the buy level for many of his past calls. For the last few years that I have been listening, I believe his buy levels have been within about a hundred Dow points of the closing low. I find that very impressive. Maybe I should just set a limit order at his buy level and wait. <g>

What more do we want?
I too am confused about what else people want. BB does a great job and the only other thing I would like is for him to reveal his timing model (I know - fat chance <g>.) If I didn't believe in an advisor, I would just look elsewhere for someone I did believe in rather than spending my time complaining on this thread.

Justa: RE: <That January call was certainly amazing.>

Not to mention that great call to get out of Brandywine Fund (+1.7% YTD through last Friday) in early February and switch into Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (+8.6% YTD through last Friday).
