Lets get the record straight. Brinker recommended selling out in 1988 above Dow 2000 and then returned to the market fully invested by 1989 at levels approximately equal to the sellout level plus risk free money market interest earned during the cash reserve period. In the final analysis this was no big deal as subscribers were fully invested for the entire ride from Dow 2365 to the present Dow 9245 and caught every single percentage point of the last eight years of bull market mania. Timer Digest ranks Marketimer number one for all newsletters followed for the six years ended June 30, 1998.

Kirk, Thank you for acknowledging that Brinker got out of the market in 1987 near or "AT THE BOTTOM" ala Her Ladyship and didn't convert to a roaring bull until 1990 ala Roaring Kansas City Joe. Be careful though! Justa Spinninstiff might start going after your head if he finds out your posting such factual information that might not be known by all of Brinker's listeners. Thanks again. Best Regards. Rillinois

Knowing you read alot of literature, do know what Rukeyser did in 1987? He claims to be bullish for decades in his literature. I'm curious if he held thru the "Correction of 1987". Kirk : I remember seeing a "10th anniversary of 1987" program on PBS last year, wherein Louis Rukeyser sort of claimed that his "Wall $treet Week" program had warned people about the impending crash. As "evidence", he recapped a few program segments from that time. It was not very convincing. Among other things, the clips showed a worried Marty Zweig expressing doubts etc. etc. But then Zweig is always worried about the market anyway! So I don't think that was any kind of signal at all. But I guess that was enough for the slick Rukeyser to claim that he made the right call! Dipy.
