JUSTA, >>> No, the DOW never went over 20% but it got close at about 19.3%. And Brinker has said that he would normally go to cash in an intermediate term correction to avoid the bear. Good thing he was smart enough to realize that these were not normal times. >>> BRINKER BRILLIANCE AGAIN! UNBELIEVABLE! >>> I wonder what kind of pressure he felt from all sides to cave in and raise cash after he underestimated the correction. He has millions of common folk listening to him and I am sure the pressure was immense. He stuck to his analysis and did not cave while others were flipping and flopping. >>> THERE HAD TO BE PRESSURE. THE COURAGE HE SHOWED IS INCREDIBLE. BOB'S STRENGTH IS HIS RATIONAL MIND. NO HYPED UP EMOTION. HE STAYED THE COURSE. ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE AROUND HIM BUT HE KEPT FOCUSED. THIS IS A RARITY. HUMAN NATURE COMPELS MOST PEOPLE TO FLIP FLOP. BRINKER HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR HIS LISTENERS AND SUBSCRIBERS. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE DOESN'T GET MORE PRESS. NO ONE CAN MATCH HIS RECORD. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE DECIMATED PORTFOLIOS OF THOSE WHO HAVE TRIED TO TRASH BOB. IT HAS TO BE UGLY. I WOULD RATHER HAVE HAD A ROOT CANAL WITH NO ANESTHESIA THAN BE SHORT THIS MONTH. BOB HAS PUT THE MR. BEAR TO REST. GOOD NIGHT MR. BEAR.
