Re: "did bob say anything about going lower than his buy points?" I believe that Bob recommends outright purchase only if the market does go "lower than his buy points." One time within the last couple of years, the market dropped about 3% below his buy point. Obviously, it turned out very well for all who invested at the time. Best wishes, I2

Redwood, <<It would be nice if bob brinker would come onto the thread, in times like this, to hold our hands an give ongoing direction--- any chance??---seems like we could go down further ---did bob say anything about going lower than his buy points? i too believe in what bob has done in the past an hope he keeps it up! thanks>> Somehow I don't think we will be hearing from Bob Brinker on this thread. I am now starting to wonder if BB has made a mistake in calling for a bear market. IMO, if he issues a warning when the market is already down 10+%, the warning is useless. After one receives the warning in the mail, acts on the recommendations, gets the sell orders executed, etc., one may now be down 20+% in a market like the one we are having. To me, a meaningful warning would be one that gets us out of the market with a Dow/S&P decline of no more than 5 to 8% max. So, having not heard from BB, and being a subscriber to the Marketimer for many years, I am becoming very concerned that we haven't heard from BB. A note from him, issued between the monthly mailings of the newsletter is certainly in order at times like this. If BB is wrong in his timing, we are the losers, not BB. Of course, this assumes we wait for his letter informing us to sell before we act. One very concerned investor. Comments welcome. Stock Bull
