On Bob Brinker today..

[GFB]

Bob mentioned two major cities in which the real estate is now at all time highs..Denver, and Dallas.

Was he live or was he memorix like last week?
It's a FED created bubble in real estate caused by artificially low interest rates and the lie of a "recovering economy".

Apparently Bob has never heard of Austin where property sells before it even comes out on MLS. Insane housing prices and puts Dallas in the shade. Additionally housing prices rise for the 2 weeks before and who knows how many weeks after SXSW every year.

Want to know why the FED is not going to let interest rates rise? Because if they do they will collapse the stock market, the bond market, and the real estate market at the same time.

Of course eventually all 3 bubbles will collapse eventually anyway since they are only supported by Grandma's hot air

Basically, everything except gold.

You and Ralph will then live like kings.

Ooops!!
Honey caught the Brinkster fibbin' again yesterday. But, in fairness they all do that to make themselves look good. Otherwise, nobody
would pay them for their advice. He's probably no bigger lier that Ken Moriff.

Brinker replied: "We are already fully invested. We have been fully invested since the S&P 500 was basically at the 800 level. We took the money out early in the last decade and put it back in March 2003, we put it all back in – the S&P was around 800. Now the S&P is over 2000 and we've been fully invested during that entire period. Obviously, it's been an incredibly rewarding run. Yet it was a lot of volatility in 2008, but it came and it went. In fact it provided additional dollar cost average opportunities throughout that period.

Honey EC: For those of you who have been following Brinker since 2000, please bear with me while I review the FACTS that Brinker either FORGOT or? You be the judge.

1. Brinker SAID: "We took the money out early in the last decade and put it back in March 2003. The S&P was around 800. Now the S&P is over 2000 and we've been fully invested during that entire period. Obviously, it's been an incredibly rewarding run."
Truth: Brinker took out a total of 65% from equities in his model portfolios in year 2000 and put it back in March 2003 -- where it has been ever since.
2. Brinker SAID: "Yet it was a lot volatility in 2008, but it came and it went. In fact it provided additional dollar cost average opportunities throughout that period."
Truth: SAY WHAT? Did Brinker really ignore the fact that the S&P did another complete round-trip to BELOW 800 in 2008-2009? The S&P was at 800 in March 2003, but it had climbed to over 1500 in October 2007, then dropped to a low of 677 in March 2009!
3. Brinker said: "In fact it provided additional dollar cost average opportunities throughout that period."
Truth: I'm just suuurree that Brinker simply forgot all the gift-horse buying opportunities that he put out during 2008 as the market dropped.

She has more things wrong than Brinker did.

[millergrovesue]

Don't know who "Honey" is but she appears to have a lot of free time.

[Red Oak]

I am happy to know some one is keeping track of Brinker.

She's bizarre.

For Ralph.....

I have to have diversity to be comfortable. But I do love commemoratives because of their beauty. However, (I'm talking silver) commemorative only get "bulk" price on the market. While I have gold, there is nothing that I really consider beautiful. I like to give commemoratives as gifts because of their beauty. My banker saw one that he fell in love with....the buffalo commemorative nickel. He said "I'll buy all you have!" I told him I'd sell him one, and he immediately pulled out his wallet. He wanted one for his daughter but the buffalo nickel is rather masculine. I took him a walking liberty. "I'll buy all you have." No, you can buy this for your daughter. I don't sell any currency.

[GFB]

Currency?

Currency is what he gave you for it.
