Don, you clearly have a talent for calling bottoms and riding the trend to new highs.  I wonder what your track record is for calling tops?  Do you care to share any interviews like the one above where you were calling for the Nasdaq to lose 80% of it's value in 2000 or a major bear market in 2008?

one cannot be timer of the year by being one directional.....or havent you figured that out yet....timer digest quit tracking my calls in 2000......

 

 

That depends on the time frame.  The stock market went in one direction for most of 1983-99.  A perma-bull would have been a top 5 timer in Timer Digest for several of the years in that time period, especially 1995-99.  Everyone is a genius in bull markets, except the perma-bears.

timer of the year means you out performed the sp500    and since timer digest tracks 120 market timers how come i was the only one to do it?

Mark can put an end to all this by explaining how timer digest works........as there are only 2 posters here that were and are being tracked by timer digest. Mark has been in the top ten numerous times....he didnt get there by being a perma bull....

Don't break your arm glad-handing yourself.

 

Just admit that when you have been wrong, you've been very wrong.

 

You wouldn't recognize a top if it hit you in the face...

 

Compounded by denial of it all the way down.

 

Like in 2000... 2008

 

It's fine to be wrong, we all make mistakes

 

But compounding them by insisting on your own reality...

 

Saying things like "the market was wrong" instead of you.

 

That's not OK.

I'm currently there now, as a matter of fact (not that I pay much attention to such things). I may be tied for #1 with all this weird chop, in fact. All glory is fleeting, however.

Everyone being tracked by TD sends their position (long, short, or flat) the S&P to TD. IIRC, evening and pre-open calls get the price at the open. Intra-day calls get the price at the close. There's no weighting nor sector rotation.

 

I'm sure during strong markets, a "permabull" is going to spend a lot of time in the top ten. Maybe a year or two as #1. But I don't think you get to be "Timer of the Year" very often without market timing. There's too much competition and too many corrections.
