Mr. Reed Thank you for finally some sanity on this thread. I agree with everything you said. I too enjoy listening to BB and I also think he is the best financial thinker on radio and/or TV. However, does that mean I follow his advice blindly? Not hardly, I don't happen to belive in diversity so where does that put me with respect to BB's philosophy? I believe in research and then putting your money where your research leads you. I don't invest 4 percent in anything. The nit picking participated in by both sides of this cult issue doesn't provide nearly as much light as it does smoke and fire. I keep lurking here because every now and then this thread really does produce some significant and profound ideas and discussion. Unfortunately, lately it seems that all they do is complain about and bicker with each other. What a waste. Ed

Your observations are astute to say the least. Brinker pushing the market ever higher to support his own business? I cannot anyone would believe such nonsense. Brinker has often said on Moneytalk that he wants to call the next bear market more than anything else. Sometimes I think that is what keeps him in the business, the challenge of calling the next bear amidst widespread complacency from New Era Thinkers and rampant bullishness. In fact, think about it. If Brinker actually calls the bear market near the top he will be raised to the level of a deity by listeners and the media. I cannot think of any single thing that would make his day more than calling the great bear. Besides, there is plenty of money to be made shorting spiders when the worm turns! Who is afraid of the big bad bear? If he is spotted in time he could be a big moneymaker!
