Actually, I believe it will be just the opposite. Brinker has said he wants to call the bear. I will go one further. I believe Brinker continues to do his show and the market timing newsletter with this as one of his primary motivations. And with that motivation in mind, it is incredible that he has not made a bear call prematurely.

Alan,

I hope the same psychology doesn't work against Bob making the call when his indicators cross over. Just as it will be hard for listeners to follow his advice, if he has any reservations, I will bet it will be gut-wrenching for him to put his reputation on the line by issuing a sell signal that goes against the consensus view.

You are correct. It will be a tough call. Bob will most likely be alone in his call on the market whenever that time occurs.

I have faith in Bob. The following post gives me confidence that he will make the correct decision. It is obvious after reading it that he sure as hell has scoffed at consensus view in the past.

Here is my favorite quote from last weekend's radio show:

"I am Bob Brinker.........and I am here........and I am bullish!

And as they say, the rest is history!
