Mr. GJ- RE:<"Funny how someone can be right for YEARS and wrong for days, and be everyones punching bag.">

There's definately wisdom in that quote.

I don't know about you but, now that I've heard Brinker's program, I feel a lot better about the prospects for a reversal in this plunging market sometime this coming week. The trigger could be Tuesdays positive leading indicators number or something Clinton announces at his upcoming Russian summit. Keep your fingers crossed. Good thing we're all easy going (we are, aren't we ?) :-)

MrGreenJeans,

Does this quote refer to Brinker? If so, what does the quote refer to Brinker being right or wrong about?

If it refers to his market timing capabilities then Brinker has NOT "been right for YEARS". IMO Brinker is a bull in a market timer's body. He has sung the same tune for years giving people the impression that he is a great market timer. His buying opportunities are nothing more than buying the dips.

If it refers to the investment philosophy of remaining fully invested through up and down markets then Brinker has NOT "been wrong for days". This market philosophy is one that I agree with as I don't think market timing can be done consistently and profitably.

Best Regards.
