I think you could miss a 10% drop, maybe a 20% drop , and maybe even a 30% drop. But if you call yourself a market timer, there is no excuse for letting your subscribers stay in the market all the way down to the bottom in 2008. I have never heard him address this or apologize for the tremendous loss we all incurred. I have dropped my subscription, because I think I can loose my money without his advice. How can he possibly explain this grave error?

I started listening to Bob in 1998 and I learned a lot from him in the beginning, but after his 2000 call which was a great call

He missed the most important call of our life time in 2008 and 2009.

I canceled my market timer subscription after he missed the big one I thought he should of gave his subscribers a free year of Market timer for missing that call. How can you call yourself a market timer and miss the biggest crash in 70 years?

Although I am a long time fan of Mr. Brinker, I am disappointed in him when you need his advice or comments"" the most. He has a tendency to take off when something critical is going on. He took off last weekend after the S&P downgrade. I'm also a long time subscriber to his Markettimer newsletter. Overall I am satisfied but I would like to see him post more bulletins when we have major movements in the markets or events."

He is a master of making it look like his past advice was right. He made the one excellent call in March of 2000. But even that call was to only lighten your equity load. But he always refers to that call as if he advised to sell all stocks at that time.

His investing acumen is only average, but the real reason for the one-star rating is his ego. I am stunned at the difference between his current show and the one of 15 years ago. He is actually snide to callers, particularly those who may have made investing mistakes, or to those who ask questions which he considers silly. The success of his radio program has corrupted his ability to see through the fog of his own inflated head. He loves to hear himself pontificate, the result being that he takes far fewer calls than he used to. It used to be average people could call up for basic advice; now most of the show is people calling up with their political opinions. As if there's not enough of that already, on every media outlet! God what a bore. I am definitely a former"" listener. Good riddance to Bob ---"

Brinker is overall a very smart guy--but has a huge ego and contradicts himself at times. Just today he claimed that our natl debt is 70% of GDP.I believe it to be closer to 100%.Am I wrong?

Brinker talks a lot but frequently doesn't really have much substantive to say. He's had a few good calls, but his mistakes are not mentioned on his show (for example he missed the 2008 recession, saying it was a 'correction'). He likes people who agree with him, but I noticed during today's show that he often doesn't answer the questions which are asked. I don't know if he's not listening or if he doesn't know the answer and doesn't want to admit it.

Bob overall does a great job.

His dollar cost average advise of the last 3 years have in hindsight gave all these Idiot's

and Whiners before me, a brilliant opportunity to make money. I'm hearing of his Part Time status"" or retirement from ""Moneytalk"". 20 years

of mowing, working in the garage and afternoon

drives listening to the ""Moneytalk Guru"", will

be missed. I am a better person and investor

because of Mr.Brinker. Thank you, Thank you."

Brinker is a danger to anyone who listens to him. I find it especially sad that so many old folks listen to him and think he has a clue.

It's time for this old loser to retire.

This is the genius that used to call Greenspan 'The Wizard', advised one caller to sell her Google stock when it was around $120 per share as I recall and repeatedly told people that buying California state debt was a great idea.

Personally I like the buy and hold method of investing, but I've been listening to Bob Brinker for 25 years and value his advise. Some of the comments on this web site about Bob is taken entirely out of context. To sum it up, they don't know their a-- from a hole in the ground.

Bob Brinker's show is interesting but he is demeaning to many callers and many times condescending. If he is so sharp why did he miss the biggest economic collapse since the Great Depression? His newsletter is no better than average and now he is lost in the advice to handle the current economic situation. Perhaps he is in a nostalgic state of mind. He keeps mentioning the day he started his on-air career and how great his prognostications were back then. It's a case of a 'has-been'.

Brinker is a total, total, idiot. He consistently guesses"" his way through things, even when the truth is screaming in his ear. He is not properly educated regarding financial markets, and it shows. His mainstay claim is that when pessimism is high, the markets will rally, and that's about it. He continually makes bad calls in his newsletter, then readjusts to make more bad calls without ever admitting that he's an inept, unqualified moron. I actually emailed him at the height of the bull market asking why people shouldn't sell and put money into money markets at over 5 percent for awhile since there was quite a bit of bad news regarding banks, real estate, etc., and stocks were undeniably overvalued across the board. He actually personally replied to my email. Do you know what the idiot said? Yep.

At least 90 percent of his newsletters have been utterly and dangerously wrong over the last several years. He even calls people who are correct names. I cannot believe you people give this man money for a newsletter. How about I sell you my belly-button lint for 185 bucks an ounce? Really, I'm offering a much better deal than this idiot's newsletter."

how could Brinker know about all these leading companies like AIG or Leman Bros in trouble or BERNIE MADOFF being in trouble,, impossible ,, the crooks surprised everyone and the downfall began,, impossible for anyone to predict this,,, my advice is to stay in take the ride keep the shares and you will in time get all your losses back ,, if you have time and are not ready for the box,,,,roar roar roar

The problem with Bob he depends on the U.S. government's numbers for his projections on the market. He needs to go back to school and learn about macro economics 101. The guy is clueless

I have been listening to Brinker for many years, however I have a complaint about his always referring to politicians spending money as drunken sailors. That is very insulting to all sailors, past and present. If Brinker has been in the military he would refrain from using such a derogatory remark. Hopefully he will be made aware of this comment submitted by this former Korean War U.S Navy veteran/

It's seems this man hides in the dark, and doesn't speak about what is to come->financial disaster. He knows VERY well what is going to happen, but like everyone else, he's being quiet. Better to buy low and to sell at something, than nothing at all, which is what the new paradigm is.

Bob Brinker had an awesome track record for predicting big market moves until this last one, which he totally missed. The only reason i paid for the newsletter was to be warned of the next one. The only good thing is my last newsletter came in December, and I will never trust anyone ever again!

A total joke that hides behind his mistakes and loves to take center stage the rare times He is right. Since the stock market crash He has never taken a call or talked about the stock market on his radio program.
