<<What people fail to understand about Brinker is...>> ...that he need not be right 100% of the time. If he is only right 65% of the time, and we all know he is way better than that, he makes us wealthy.

Justa, >>> To: Investor2 (5 ) From: Justa Werkenstiff Friday, Aug 14 1998 10:23PM ET Reply # of 42 I2: What people fail to understand about Brinker is that he has kept people invested throughout this bull market. Not an easy accomplishment despite what many people would have you believe. There are plenty of advisers who have, at one time or another, gone bearish at least once during this great bull run. Not Brinker. But people hold that fact against him. They continue to ask (last weekend, for example) if his model has ever gone bearish as if they think his model is no good if it has not gone bearish. But to have been bearish is to have been wrong. I guess people are looking for some in-and-out of the market model. So Brinker is a victim of the great bull run and the fact that he has been on the right side of this market every step of the way more or less. And I know that one of the things that keeps him going is his desire to call the next bear market. >>> Excellent.
