RE: "In addition to Bob's stock market calls, he's also been amazingly accurate at identifying long bond buying opportunities." Excellent point, and one not often set forth. Bob's fixed income recommendations have been right on the money. Welcome to the thread. Best wishes, I2

Bruce: Welcome to the thread. With all the attention paid to Brinker's uncanny stock market calls, his equally accurate bond market predictions, worthy of a Soros or a Buffett, are often given short shrift. Thus, I am delighted you raised the subject. It might be useful to mention that nary a few weeks ago Brinker hinted that the 30 year bond rate, presently 5.885%, might drop to between 5% and 5 1/4%.() Were there not rumors this week that Soros has lately taken colossal positions in US Treasury debt? () Nota bene: Post #3185 1 February 1998- "Sunday's salient points: Brinker noted that the USA, which economy grew at a real rate of 3.8% for the year 1997 (the best growth rate since 1988), is currently enjoying a modest 1.85% inflation rate(averaging the CPI and the price deflator). Thus, asserts Brinker, the long Treasury bond yield is rich at its current 5.8%; he would not be surprised by a yield decline to the 5%-5 1/4% range."
