Thomas- In re: "Bob's market timing model is FALSE in that it relies on interest rates to justify a bullish scenario at these levels. This assumption that bear markets are ONLY caused by rising interest rates is FALSE." I'm certainly not privy to Brinker's proprietary timing model; however, from what can be gleaned from discussion of same on MoneyTalk, it would seem that interest rates are only one factor among more than a few upon which Brinker relies as forecasting tools. In any case, if low interest rates were the vital fuel of a bull market, the ailing Japanese market should be breathing fire given that official interest rates there are next to nil and not seen anywhere at such levels since Genoa of the 1600's, according to CNBC-TV, if memory serves. Thank you for the URL, nevertheless.

Hi Thomas. Interesting URL. We have competing gurus, both with distinguished track records, both who are a little touchy when it comes to those with opposing predictions and both on the opposite side of the fence. I hope you have your own set of indicators that you can use to confirm your guru's prediction before taking major action. Best Regards & looking forward to your future posts.

"However, I really believe we are now in a bear market and within the next month will see a stock market crash of EPIC proportions. I am extremely confident of this result. This site is one of the most credible market forecasting institutions in the world." Funny how your opinion would be formed in a little over 1 week, because here you were still trying to figure out your own opinion about the veracity of this model vis-a-vis the opinions of others..
