Speak for yourself. Brinker has been a roaring bull at every major bottom in the nineties. Dow 2365 in October 1990, Dow 2850 in December 1991, Dow 3600 in April, June and November 1994, Dow 5400 in July 1996, Dow 6500 in April 1997 and Dow 7500 in past few weeks. He has been a huge bull at every major buying opportunity for eight years. Bearish at the bottom? No, never even one time. Bullish at the bottom? Yes, every time. Usually a roaring bull at the bottom.

Looks the Brinkerheads can think only in terms of kings and subjects! :-) Good thing some of us have a sense of humor! 8) re, your truth: "people will get bullish at the top and get bearish at the bottom" Agree, but I think Brinker did a most excellent job of pointing out the risks of investing at DJIA 9300 (via DCA and his warnings to check your asset allocation and tollerence to risk) and the very good deals in the market for lump sum investing under DJIA 8650. I don't know of anyone else on the airwaves, tv or radio, that was pointing this out this well. Rukeyser and his pen of permabears didn't warn at 9300 to get asset allocations in line with where they should be. Many do not see the forest for the trees....they get on Brinker for not being exactly perfect and miss the overall quality of the advice. oh well, this is their loss. regards Kirk
