Bob Brinker is an expert in the stock market. Bob has an experience of more than twenty-five years in the stock business. Bob Brinker is popular as the host of a weekend talk show, Money Talk. This talk show entitles listeners to call in and ask their questions and queries to Bob. Topics covered are generally stock market and investment portfolio centered.
Bob Brinker lacks necessary listening abilities. He does not always listen fully to the caller in his talk show. Instead, he proceeds to give answers without understanding what the caller actually wants to know. I feel that his talk show could have a better impact and be more successful if someone else is there to monitor his speaking and listening on the show.
Bob Brinker also has a monthly newsletter called Marketimer, covering issues like the good and the bad times to be making moves, in the stock market, with your portfolio.
This newsletter gives details on various recommendations of particular funds, Federal Reserve policy, and the market timing too.
A one year subscription to the newsletter is going for $185.00 He does offer one back issue to be mailed to you for free. You can also hear Marketimer over the internet for a monthly fee of around $5.00
I feel that you cannot base all your monetary decisions on the predictions of any particular person like Bob Brinker. Most of his decisions and predictions are for the long run. You cannot expect to receive the same benefits in the short run. It is not possible to get rich by following his advices as is evident from the poor performance of Bob's
Marketimer.
Bob Brinker also sells hats, t-shirts and coffee mugs, on his website, which are used to promote his show "Bob Brinker's Marketimer"
Now if you have some of your own money that you don't know what to do with give Bob Brinker a call. I'm sure he would be willing to offer you some advice and put it on his show. Whether the advice is worth anything is up to you to decide.
Bob Brinker has a web site of his own offering extensive information on recommended books and other educational resources to augment your knowledge of the stock market and mutual fund projects.
Bob offers various model portfolios for different objectives.
Model portfolio I, is for investors with widespread growth objectives.
Model portfolio II, is about investors with long-term business objectives.
Model portfolio III, is a balanced portfolio with modest growth targets, capital preservation, and current investment income.
The underlying fact is that stock market is very volatile and unpredictable. An investment carries along the element of risk always and you cannot override the risks just because Bob Brinker suggests so.
Therefore, I would recommend you to use your prudence and not go entirely by the predictions and suggestions of Bob Brinker.
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 your money into the market just because some guy has you thinking that they know what they are talking about.
You can learn from Bob Brinker, but it is your money and only you care enough about it to make sure you do not lose any.
I would not recommend Bob Brinker’s recommendations unless you have paper traded and proven to yourself that his advice can make you money. |
