Watch out for the magic wand. It is like a two edged sword, slicing in both directions. Bob Brinker yet another self-promoting market guru. Bah Humbug! These guys are pronouncing doom and gloom or everything is rosy. Whatever it takes to sell themselves and remove money from your wallet. Just because a guy is on the radio does not mean he is going to make you money.
Wake up America, you lost several trillion dollars in market value in your portfolios during 2000-present. Sure you may have gained some back in 2003 if you were lucky, but that does not mean that you should just jump at someone’s advice, ever. You know, the bottom line is a risk investment is a risk investment and all the research and input in the world is not going to change that, nor Mr. Brinker or any other market analyst or risk advisor for that matter.
Mr. Brinker is nonetheless considered a renowned stock market analyst. He made quite a name for himself as a radio personality as well. Obviously the focus of his radio appearances was the stock market. He often fielded calls and had discussions with people about their "hair brained" schemes for beating the stock market. He has a serious side when it comes to actually making predictions about the stock market.
During the 1990s he made numerous predictions about the movement of the stock market. He was often quoted for saying things that seemed to be bold and sometimes irresponsible, but that was his way of delivering facts that were very well researched and had historical precedent.
The following are comments or experiences of others that have either listened to Mr. Brinker or have bought information from him:
1) “He made a lot of believers with his Jan 2000 sell call and maybe he is swinging for another homerun. If that is the case he has missed the start of that new bull run by over 12 months. In the last year, most individual stocks traded are up substantially from their lows.
It's because Bob Brinker’s market timing is for the long run. Still you have to wonder, where are Bob Brinker’s customers' yachts?
I sometimes listen to Bob Brinker. I agree with most of the positives and all the negatives (and then some) about Bob. I don't think you would get rich following the advice of Bob. Just look at the dismal returns in Bob’s Market Timer.”
2) “First, he sometimes exhibits poor listening comprehension. At least once a week he totally misconstrues what the caller is asking him, and sometimes goes on a long discussion without realizing that he is not answering the question he was asked. It would do him some good if someone were to supervise him and make him listen to the interactions in which he failed to listen.
In many of these cases, he could have asked an extra question or two just to make sure that he is actually addressing the question being asked. Most callers are simply not assertive enough or informed enough to say: Bob, you are answering a different question than what I was asking.”
3) “WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT BOB BRINKER IS RIGHT ON TARGET! BRINKER HAS AN "ATTITUDE" AND HE GETS EXTREMELY EMOTIONAL WHEN A CALLER SAYS THAT REAL ESTATE IS A GOOD INVESTMENT. DO YOU KNOW WHY BRINKER LOSES CONTROL? BECAUSE REAL ESTATE, AS AN INVESTMENT, IS A DIRECT COMPETITOR OF BRINKER’S FINANCIAL PRODUCTS AND LUCRATIVE ENDORSEMENTS.
BOB WILL ATTACK REAL ESTATE AT ALL COSTS! JUST LISTEN TO HIM. HE CAN HEAR THE $$ FALL OUT OF HIS FAT WALLET WHENEVER A CALLER TELLS BOB HOW SAFE A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT IS AND HOW WELL YOU CAN SAVE $$ ON TAXES.
SORRY for the caps.
Also, Brinker hesitates while on the air and will change the subject by making AD HOMINEM attacks on a caller while Brinker’s radio assistant fumbles to make up for Brinker’s obvious lack of knowledge.”
4) The following is an online conversation - “No, he is very friendly; If you think he is friendly I wonder what you consider unfriendly? He has the personality of a wet mop! Although he will call attention to a mistake, such as someone who buys at the top of the market and then wants to sell in the middle of a correction. Calls attention? He denigrates them with his voice rising in pitch until it almost cracks.
The main funds that he continuously mentions are the Vanguard funds, which generally do not advertise, but for some reason have stupidly starting doing so.
Have started? Vanguard has been advertising on his show for years and Bob has been doing voice overs for them ever since they began.
Bob’s main problem is poor listening comprehension. You got that one right! But his Money-magazine substitute also is a poor listener. Is it a Money mag, substitute or the guy from Forbes? Often times, these guys fail to answer what is being asked, go off pontificating, and basically fail to interpret the misconceptions people have when they call, especially women callers. Another accurate assessment. I would go a step further and attribute it to their arrogance having to answer questions from "those dumb callers."
If you want to invest learn to do it on your own and study, study, study and then study some more. Then paper trade until you have proven to yourself that you can make money. Do not just arbitrarily throw money up against the wall because some guy has you thinking that they know what they are talking about. You can learn from Mr. Brinker but it is your money and only you care enough about it to make sure you do not lose any.
I do not recommend Mr. Brinker’s recommendations unless you have paper traded and proven to yourself that his advice can make you money. I do recommend him from a learning point of view, because when it comes to the markets, knowledge is power.
