Stock Bull: These are worthy points you raise. During my listening today, a seemingly more subdued, less animated Brinker character- ized the market downturn as no more or less than a mid-term elec- tion cycle intermediate term correction and a buying opportunity for patient investors. If Brinker foresees a bear clawing the mar- ket down more than 20% from its major average highs, he said nothing today to indicate that he did within my listening.

>Does this then mean that Bob's model missed the bear market call?< What I heard today is that Bob's indicators (i.e. inflation, interest rates, money supply, valuation, etc) are all showing a green light for a continued bull market, but that clearly other forces are at play here, namely unforeseeable global events that can never be factored into anyone's model. What I get from this is that it's not enough for the U.S. economy to be almost picture perfect -- the rest of the world can drag us down if their situation gets bad enough. IMO, it would behoove us to not allow that to happen.
