Bob Brinker gave his opinion that this is a buying opportunity. He said he gave the buy signal on July 1, I think.
A long time ago, Bob gave a buy signal, and the market really took off. In 2000, he gave the sell signal and it took a couple of months, but the market finally tanked. In 2003, he gave the buy signal, which turned out to be the bottom at that time.
However, Bob really lost his credibility when he failed to give the sell signal in 2008, and the buy signal in March 2009. I was very disappointed.
The reasons why he believes that this is just a correction is because the yield curve is positive. And although he acknowledged that real estate played a big role in the 2008 - 2009 bear market, he does not believe that the second wave of real estate foreclosures will affect the stock markets this time around.
Even though Bob Brinker spews out left wing propaganda, and I am a conservative, I will still listen to what he has to say
