Truman, yes, I heard Flanagan's comment. By the way, do you know how the foreign economics and markets enter into BB timing model. I was looking over past issues of MarkeTimer, and all I see are the U.S. influences in the model. Given the current influence of the overseas climate on our markets, I thought this would be an interesting thing to know. Stock Bull

Truman: re:<Flanagan recommended plowing in only half of funds ear-tagged for the stock market at this juncture:> The rule I follow is "always consider the source". I assign much lower weight to advice coming from a journalist or TV talking head - their investment backgrounds are generally shallow. When I hear advice coming from a large brokerage firm employee or broker (for example, Ralph Acampora), I say to myself this guy has a vested interest in generating transactions for their employer or unloading unwanted securities inventory of the brokerage firm, not making me money. The advice I value the most is Brinker's because he is not involved in the investment sales side of the business, he has an economics background, has taught investments in college, and has any years of experience managing money. Although he sells a newsletter, he has a vested interest in being correct in his advice to retain subscribers and get new ones. Flanagan, although somewhat boring, seems to do about as good a job as can be expected from someone subbing for A GIANT like Brinker. I've never heard of anyone who could come close to doing half as good a job as Brinker has done doing investment programs on the radio since October 1981. Brinker is truly unique from my viewpoint - he is a great gift to those willing to listen, learn and implement his ideas. He has made a BIG difference in the lives of many listeners, including mine - and for that I am and will be forever grateful to him. P

Truman: Re: "Bill Flanagan, guest host of Money Talk this weekend, has recommended plowing in only half of ear-tagged stock market funds into the market at this juncture. While Flanagan agrees that the current climate represents a buying opportunity, he is not pre- pared to jump in with both feet at this juncture in seeming contra- distinction to Brinker, who apparently is calling for buying all hallow to the exclusion of dollar cost averaging." I am sorry I did not listen today. Shame on me. What did he say about the other half? Do we put that in at DOW 9500 <GGG>?

Truman, >>> To All: Bill Flanagan, guest host of Money Talk this weekend, has recommended plowing in only half of ear-tagged stock market funds into the market at this juncture. While Flanagan agrees that the current climate represents a buying opportunity, he is not pre- pared to jump in with both feet at this juncture in seeming contra- distinction to Brinker, who apparently is calling for buying all hallow to the exclusion of dollar cost averaging. >>> Interesting. Flanagan pointed out that he doesn't have Bob's "mind". I found his comments hilarious at times. "....if you do that, you could end up in deep tapioca"
