i was just wondering if anyone is currently following bob brinkers money talk STARSHIP.
i used to listen to him but quit doing so when he made his listeners pay to hear him through his website archives.
i was wondering what his current position is on the markets. is he fully invested? or is he keeping his powder dry on the sidelines?
would be interested and grateful if anyone was able to provide this. |

How much do you think it would be to advertise on the show?
I would guess...too much. 
Would it cost less than a full page in SmartMoney? Probably. 
(we need more posters...freeye seems lonely  ) |

Hello Mr/Ms Administrator, this is actually a very good site you have set up here, I'm sure you will build a strong following over time, the best way to really get it rockin would be to hold competitions with $$$ prizes, maybe on a quarterly basis, I don't know if that is feasable since your data feed for stock quotes is actually on a delay, and of course you can also game the system by simply buying a stock at the closing price for instance, which EI allows, even as the stock may be up in AH trading on some sort of news which gives that player (cheater) the advantage since your system won't detect it, anyone can simply buy at the last price, trust me, the scoundrels will come in and use every little glitch there is in your system to gain the edge over those who would rather play the proper way, especially when there is a cash prize involved  but stretching the time horizon out definitely makes the shorter term calls less important, anyway, I think this site is very good, thanks for giving us stock junkies a place to go in order to rant, rave, and blow off steam  |

The game does have holes if someone wants to take advantage. We are working to try to cover as many as possible and still keep it fun and realistic.
Thanks for the kind words Grim. I appreciate your posts here! |

You're welcome! I was sincere in my praise too, glad you enjoy my posts, you may think I'm a perma bear based on all of my seemingly endless bearishness, it's just that somebody has got to keep da bulls in line, in fact, if you do approach the Mad Money show about advertising there, please let Jim Cramer know da Reaper be lookin for him I'm actually neither a bear nor a bull though, I'm a chameleon  |

i appreciate the concern einvesting adminstrator, but i'm just using the eInvesting site for my own personal blog.
i did do a little posting around the web in hopes of attracting a few more posters here, since i too would like to see more people actively posting.
i also made a personal appeal to grimreaper to do the same since i know he is active elsewhere in the technical analysis web world.
i'm always looking for volunteers to listen to the nationwide radio broadcast of the Bob Brinker Money Talk radio show everys weekend on saturday and sunday and report back here on his current position on the markets.
i think it is late afternoon for about 3 hours each day. you may even luck out and he will be on vacation so there will be nothing to report.
he has stations practically in every state in the USA and i think the guys over in iraq and the ships at sea get it so access to his show shouldn't be a problem.
you also can get his show over the internet live or delayed broadcast almost at anytime of day on the weekend or early monday mornng in some cases.
leave a reply here if you're going to do everyone a favor a volunteer for this.
if you get the show live in your area you can even give us updates during the commercials and discuss it with others that are also listening to it live.
thanks! freeye

if someone could do as all the newspapers reporters do when they cover an event and provide us here with their interpretation of what is said on bob brinkers money talk nationally broadcasted radio show this weekend on saturday and or sunday that would be great.
just make sure to label it as your interpretation or that you are acting as a reporter of an event and that should be cool with everybody.
he usually give people plenty to post about in his aftermath.
thanks freeye |

from saturday june 18th show:
bob brinker is still bullish on the markets prospects.
note: he called the top of the market back in january of 2000, advising his listeners and subscribers to his newsletter to move to a (bearish)defensive position.
note: unsure when he made the call to re-enter the market in the bullish position. but it seemed like it has been a long-time ago with no flip flopping inbetween.
bob said something about changes being proposed or having been made to allow investors to have roth 401k and 403b plans starting in january 2006.
bob said resale values on timeshares not that great. in his opinion.
viper etf's are ok vs a low cost wilshire 5000 mutual fund. |

also from saturdays june 18, 2005 show.
david L. scott was guest on the show. prolithic financial author.
bob and david discussed many of these topics with callers;
expense control is very-very important fundamental of investing... without it you are shark bait.
it's foolish to try and beat the market.
annual return performance numbers do not include sales, expense, load or redemption fees on mutual funds.
as mutual funds grow in size the fees on some mutual funds are going up when they should go down.
most investors should buy bonds through mutual funds and they should be buying short-term bond funds or intermediate bond funds. those more financially set may buy new issue individual bonds where the cost is absorbed by the seller not the buyer.
if unhealthy take your social security early age (62) if healthy wait until age (66-67)
wallstreet hasn't made average investor aware of the value of index investing.
asset allocation is crucial as we move towards retirement.
let us know if any of this has been helpful to you.

| Posted: Tue Jun 21, 2005 6:34 am Post subject: Real Estate Market Deflating in England Ireland & Austra |
|
|
Investing Manager

sunday june 19, 2005 show (i think?)
one last item, from his sunday show, is bob brinker reported that he thought he saw signs of the real estate market deflating and he gave specific year over year percentage changes in markets such as ireland, england and australia to name a few.
these were real estate markets that were rapidly increasing for many years until they are now declining rapidly.
freeye comment note: in investing... the lower quality stocks in a given market are often the first to decline in a downturn and advancing through to the highest quality stocks.
if the same holds through in the real estate market then it may be wise to track the real estate markets of developed countries as the lower quality real estate markets begin to fall check them off your list and you may be in a position to predict when and if the falling real estate markets will eventually come to the united states.
this forum has no affiliation with the nationally cindicated bob brinker money talk radio show that i know of and any investment decision should be based on your own personal research with appropriate professionals, the information provided at this forum is presented as entertainment although some of the information may prove to be useful to you.

market outlook: we are currently in a cyclical bull market within a secular bear market.
S&P is 2.75% off the recovery high.
no reason to rush to a balanced portfolio from a portfolio of S&P 500 funds
since the outlook on the market is a positive one.
current policy is of buying weakness when you see it in the markets.
expect the federal reserve to raise interest rate 0.25% to 3.25% fed funds rate on thursday at 2:15 pm est.
next federal reserve meeting is in august.

He's on the radio here on the weekends... and to be honest I listen to the show just cause it's kinda funny. He strikes me (IMHO) as a well-meaning grandfatherly type, but I wonder sometimes if he is starting to lose it.
In particular someone had called in and asked if they should invest in I-bonds or EE Bonds for retirement, which was very interesting to me at the time cause I had been doing research on the exact same question.
But his reply was something like:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Umm - well - you COULD buy I-bonds. They are of course full-backed with the complete faith of the U.S. government. "
Long pause...
"And then there are many people that like the EE bonds. They are also very good."
pause...
"It basically comes down to what type of investments do you want to make for your retirement."
"Thanks for the call!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It totally did NOT answer the guys question! Maybe he was reading something else while he was answering the question, but my reaction was: "What the h____ was that??" |

6/25-26/05
the s&p is only 2.75% off the record high.
currently in a cyclical bull market within a secular bear market.
federal reserve open market committee will raise short-term federal funds rate +0.25 to 3.25% on thursday 6/30/2005 @ 2:15 est.
this will be the 9th time this rate has been raised since around one year ago... the short-term federal funds rate was at 1.0%.
no reason to rush from a equity dominated portfolio to a balanced portfolio with the positive outlook on the market. possibly move 1/3 @ s&p 1250, 1/3 @ s&p 1300, 1/3 @ s&p 1350.
current policy is to buy weakness.
the s&p 500 market is up 48% since a buy signal was issued in march 2003... many other buying opportunities have presented themselves since this time with the last one was in april of 2005.
consider holding the taxable bonds, like a GNMA mutual fund, part of your diversified portfolio in a roth ira so the dividend income may be taken out tax free.
high oil prices really are not inflationary as long as the price doesn't move through the roof.
oil represents 1/2 of what it was in the 1970's as a part of the economy.
jeremy j. siegel prof. (jjs)of finance wharton school at the university of pennsylvania in philidelphia. graduate if phd. from m.i.t. financial book author, was on show as a guest.
(jjs) - chinas pegging their currency to us dollar makes it 40% under valued, other asian countries have done this for decades.. although china may take a token step in this area to move this issue to the back burner.
(jjs) -buy low p.e. value stocks with high dividends you will gain 1-2 basis points on your portfolio.
(bb) - 1997 new tax rule allowing married couples to keep tax free up to $500,000 in profits on a home if they occupied it 2 of last 5 years... the following year housing prices started there upward momentum until today.
(jjs) -there are currently local real estate bubbles around the country.
(jjs) today's bond market most closely resembles the 50-60's bond market.
(jjs)markets climb a wall of worry... and when markets seem most worried is the time you should be buying. siegel said, if their is a big bump in the markets i will be in buying, this will be a big buying opportunity. he is optimistic about the markets over the next 3-5 years. |
