1) The Nature Lover blog (link no longer available) says of the The Self-Directed Life section of the site: “I’ve been doing a lot of research and reading since I decided to simplify my life, because I’ve been trying to find tips and direction on how to go about it. I came across this site and I found this particular article very interesting. I have bookmarked the site and will be going back to it often.”

2) Norbert Schenkler presents tables at the Financial WebRing Forum showing that Valuation-Informed Indexing has historically beaten conventional buy-and-hold strategies.

3) “J” at the Yahoo Finance Groups cites The Stock-Return Predictor in support of the proposition that the “current valuation of S&P 500 companies already indicates poor forward-looking returns.”

4) Get Rich Slowly discusses the profile of my Retire Early plan done by Liz Pulliam Weston at MSN Money. One poster notes: “Early retirement is not about stopping working, it’s really about doing what you want, stopping worrying about money and salary and I’m convinced it opens many more opportunities than when you work.

5) I post a Letter to the Editor at Early-Retirement-Planning-Insights.com site entitled “The Trouble with Mechanically Defined Algorithms.” I say: “I want to make the Valuation-Informed Indexing approach sound as appealing as possible. If I tell people to go with a 100 percent stock allocation at a P/E10 of 17, that will make the numbers look better in the case I put forward for how this strategy pays off long term. It’s hard for me to resist the pull to at least tell people what the numbers say (and I sometimes do indeed do just this).”
