Brinker misses some of the calls, but his overall track record is admirable.

I agree, but I suspect that much of this is the result of dumb luck. As someone once said, if market-timers really knew what the heck they were talking about, they would all be the richest people in the world! I don't think Brinker would even make a list of the 5,000 wealthiest Americans, which tells me how little confidence he has in his own predictions.

Maybe...but if I understand correctly that he basically told his folks to stay invested
from about 1986 until just before the 2000 collapse, then that's beating most all of the
other talking heads.

As for Brinker's personal wealth, I don't know for sure. He does always use the
"if they've got such a great scheme, why are they sharing it with you" speech
he gives to those callers detecting "shark attacks".

He's doing well enough that his bosses let him take off too many weekends, leaving us with the
droning (but occassionally very insightful) intonations of Mr. Flanagan.

Brinker may have been the recipient of a good bit of luck...it would be interesting to
find out if he admits to such in an unguarded moment.
