Marketiming Stumbles

2008-02-14T17:27:00.000-08:00

When Bob Brinker's Market Timing StumblesRight up until the time that the market dropped over 15% in January, Bob Brinker had been repeatedly predicting new all-time-highs. He even said that the market looked "favorable" as we entered Y-2008..On Moneytalk, Brinker said that the correction was more than he had "expected." That is quite an understatement. Brinker had not been expecting ANY

Bottom Calls or Using Asset Allocation To Make Money Trading Ups and Downs

2008-02-11T15:11:00.000-08:00

Bob Brinker writes a newsletter called "Marketimer" which implies he attempts to time the stock market. To me, "Market timing is entertainment." It is something fun to discuss such as “I think we might have made a bottom for now” or “this chart will get some bears scared they missed a bottom” but the performance beating returns over the long term come from asset allocation and stock selection.If

Bob Brinker did not do Moneytalk this weekend. This is the 4th time that Bill Flanagan has replaced Brinker since the weekend before Christmas. .Flanagan made the point that this was the worst week in Dow performance since March 2003 and he said: “I’m beginning to think that when I fill in for Bob, I’m kind of a negative indicator, but this week really was one we’d rather forgot………Ugly, ugly,

Flanagan on Moneytalk Today

Bob Brinker is not on Moneytalk today. Bill Flanagan is on. Bob Brinker is on record saying he did not expect this correction. How much has the stock market declined so far?.I posted this on Kirk's Facebook Brinker Discussion Forum: "The Dow had its worst week since 2003, I'd sure be interested in knowing what the percentages are now." .Kirk Lindstrom replied:."I am working on this spreadsheet to

"Hi Jumpnjoey,.According to Bob Brinker, the stock market has been in a “secular bull” trend since June, 2006..Between January, 2000 and June, 2007, Brinker claimed that the stock market was in a “secular bear megatrend”

Market Similarities Between 1998 and 2008

2008-02-06T19:28:00.000-08:00

Bob Brinker would take calls about the stock market and discuss his views on Moneytalk back in 1998. Steve T, a "Guest Contributor" to David Korn's most recent newsletter, has shared an archived record of a conversation that Brinker had with a caller about the 1998 market correction which was very similar to the one that is occurring now -- both would definitely fit into the description of an "

Brinker is Still Bullish, Recession Possible

2008-02-05T08:03:00.000-08:00

Bob Brinker has readjusted his market-timing views since the first week in January. He has done away with his "mid-1400's" new money "all-in" buy-signal and recommends only dollar-cost-averaging into the market with new money. And he is busy looking for the "bottom" of this correction -- no doubt so he can issue a new buy signal. (His portfolios are still 100% invested.)While putting the blame on

Bob Brinker's Buy Signals

2008-02-01T15:39:00.000-08:00

Nice week in the stock market .It's back above Bob Brinker's "1380 or lower buying opportunity" that he issued after the market was above that level. But it's still lower than the "mid-1400's buying opportunity" that he recommended in August, 2007, and removed on January 20th when he said he was looking for a bottom to this correction that he did not "expect." Perhaps he will have something

Bob Brinker's Market-Timing Scenarios

2008-01-31T14:02:00.000-08:00

.I do not believe that Bob Brinker will ever again issue another sell signal--not even a partial one like he did in January, 2000. Why should he? He has all his bases covered so that he can claim he is "right," while he remains bullish and 100% invested--no matter what the stock market does. (Last June, he even dispensed with the so-called Secular Bear Megatrend that he touted for six years. He

In the opening monologue today, Brinker gave a brief review of what happened in the stock market last week. .He placed the blame on a rogue trader in another country (anybody know who he was talking about?), and on Ben Bernanke..So far, he has not given even a hint of when he might expect to see the market find a bottom..He did not tell listeners how much the market has corrected from its high or

Our expert Bob Brinker commentator, Will L., speculates on what Brinker may say this weekend:."Well here we are at the weekend. If Brinker shows up today do you think he will.1) Act as though the market is doing exactly as he predicted and there is no concern?.2) Continue saying the market future is "foggy" (LOL that's sure investable information isn't it?).3) Blame the fed, or the greedy condo

So far, Bob Brinker hasn't found the bottom of this "correction" and has NOT issued a new "all-in" buy signal. However, he still recommends dollar-cost-averaging.On Kirk's Facebook Bob Brinker Forum, James Kenney wrote:.Jan 23, 2008 at 1:58 PM.."When I heard about Brinker's "e-alert" I thought at first he would be proclaiming this major correction had now presented us with a "gift horse" buying

Brinker's Clues Seem to be Missing

2008-01-21T10:50:00.000-08:00

Brinker doesn't have a CLUE what the market will do in the future. When it appears that he has made a correct call, it can just as easily be attributed to sheer luck. He has been wrong on his market analysis for years now, but he keeps it under the radar, plays two sides of the street or simply makes it go away..He has been 100% bullish since he declared the end of a (non-existent) secular bear

So far, Brinker has been correct that a 20% bear market has not happened. However, those who bought into the stock market last August when he issued his "mid-1400's" buy signal have needed great patience if they are waiting for his July prediction of 1600's range to develop. .
