jeff, we are definitely in a bear market for the vast majority of stocks. saying we aren't when stock after stock after stock is down 30-40% plus is absurd. it is like looking at dell growing 50% and saying the pc biz is healthy when everyone else is eaking out 6% growth or less (btw, this is EXACTLY what they do). as for advice, take brinkers'. he's getting paid. ;-) just make sure he has a position when he pronounces something like x will not go under y value and we are near y value. if he doesn't then it is indicative of a lack of confidence in his own call.

If you read the September 8 issue of Bob Brinker's Marketimer you will see that Brinker has clearly labeled the recent decline a classic mid-term off-presidential year correction. As has been discussed on Moneytalk, this correction took the form of an intermediate term correction of 19% which created the major bottom on August 31 at Dow 7537. Brinker clearly states that the only remaining pain in the market is a possible test of the general area of the lows, but that other than the possible test stock prices are heading to new highs into 1999 with Dow 9500 and S & P 1210 as the current targeted new historic highs. Hope everybody that wants to join the party at new highs is fully invested! Also, I checked the Hulbert figures and they are indeed correct, Brinker has earned 18.8% annually for last 3 years, 16.6% for last 5 years and 14.2% for last 10 years. Hulbert says so!
