What About Moneytalk This Weekend?

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 flippers or developers or hedge funds ---etc etc for this "exogenous event" that "noone" could have predicted?
.
My best guess would have been that he would focus on the relatively minor fluctuation from the beginning of the week to the end. He would use that to act as though many were 'too concerned" about this backing and filling and looking for a bottom.
.
Ha! If anyone would have said last week that the fed would lower rates by 75 basis points and the market priced in another 50 basis points for next week for a total of 125 basis point easing---and the market would not move significantly higher, I think they would have been lying.
.
Brinker, I don't believe, ever talks about his timing model these days. It's the biggest trough of hogswill (apologies to pig) anywhere.
.
  • This "timing model" that said the market turned bullish in June 2006 and we are in a secular bull market since then?
  • .
  • The timing model that issued a buy signal at 1380--after the market was at 1400 or so...and issued another buy signal weeks ago at mid 1400s? The s&p is at 1330 now. LOL Off about 15% from the extreme top.
.
Now Brinker used to boast that his timing model was "designed" to call market bottoms within 3% of the final "closing low". If that were true--why would he not he be in cash? After all I believe Brinker claimed that only up to 10% corrections were "normal" market movement.
.
Indeed wasn't Brinker hammering the "bad news bears" just a couple weeks ago? Foggy? Perhaps Old Foggy? At what point do people realize the emperor hasn't had a stitch on for years??"

If he shows up he will:

1. Act like everything is wonderful.

2. He won't be saying "How Sweet It Is" like he did when the S&P was at its recent highs.

3. He will avoid as much as he can the market and focus on other things

4. If he does say something about the market he will blame it on Uncle Ben or whoever.

5. He will tell his screener to prohibit any calls about the market

He will run ads for MaRKetTimEr

I think Brinker will show today and discuss:

#1- Hillary vs Obama

#2- Super Bowl

#3- The French trader that "duped" the Fed!

#4- Forecast a 50 basis point on the 30th

#5- Tell us how Money Talk started on Super Bowl Sunday

Honey,

First you either post or allowed to be posted Brinker's copyrighted bulletin on your blog.

Then you copy posts from Facebook and now you are lifting Will's posts from Yahoo.

If those folks wanted to post on YOUR blog they would have done so in the first place.

Don't you have an original thought at all?

Honey

In the opening monologue Brinker said something like this: "....On Monday Bernanke held a conference call. They reached a conclusion not unlike we did last week on Moneytalk.....". That is in line with what I predicted he would say earlier this week here on your Blog

You also nailed it at when you predicted he would focus on the small change for the week in the index. Is he becoming too predictable? Or has he been reading your Blog for show prep.

Honeybee said...

Princepro...you are right, it's the trader and Bernanke who are to blame for last weeks action.

And just now, it was Hillary and Obama...

Either several of you are reading his mind, or he is simply becoming too predictable.

LOL!

Honeybee said...

So burt/alan/whatever name you call yourself today, if you don't like to read what I post on MY Blog, NOONE is twisting your arm to make you read it--or are they?

Someone giving you marching orders to stalk me anywhere I post and try to discredit, demean or discourage me? Hmmmmmm?
.
This is your first warning as "alan"...stay on topic or leave. HINT: I am not the topic!!

BTW: I suspect it was YOU that posted the copyrighted material WHICH I DELETED, and you have been warned about doing it again. If you do, I will immediately contact Bob Brinker and Google.

alan said...

"If you do, I will immediately contact Bob Brinker and Google."

Oh No!

Lots of people say they are unable to contact Brinker. Maybe you could help them.

Do you remember when he called you on the phone? Or was that a subscription renewal letter?

You never could tell the difference

That's an outright lie, and you know it.

>>Then you copy posts from Facebook and now you are lifting Will's posts from Yahoo. If those folks wanted to post on YOUR blog they would have done so in the first place.Don't you have an original thought at all?

BLAH BLAH BLAH.......BLAH BLAH BLAH..........

I guess that must mean that you read all of the sites and everything that we post. Are you BB? (((ROAR)))

Thanks for the admissions, and the hits. BTW, what is your agenda, if you read all of these sites, and then summarize them? Perhaps, you are not capable of an intelligent post or thought? (((SNORT + SNICKER)))

HTH, and you are certainly welcome!!

I don't think contacting Brinker would be that hard. I did an intelius search and for a small fee I think it would give you what you need to contact him.

Jeffchristie,

Thank you, but I have already located Bob Brinker's address and phone number and have it at the ready.
