I’ve posted Entry #99 to my weekly Beyond Buy-and-Hold column at the Out of Your Rut site. It’s titled Once Stock Prices Drop Hard, There’s Only One Way They Can Go.
Juicy Excerpt: We need to train ourselves to tune the market’s short-term message and focus in on the helpful, enriching, long-term stuff. I think that the best way to do that is by looking at the numbers.
Say that stocks are priced as they were priced in 1982. What will a $100,000 stock portfolio be worth in 30 years? Let’s compare that to what a $100,000 stock portfolio will be worth in 30 years if stocks are priced as they were in 2000. Let’s assume a 70 percent fixed (Buy-and-Hold) allocation in both cases.

Are you no longer producing new articles? Most of your posts over the last week are simply links to month(s) old articles published on Out of Your Rut.

I always announce my column entries with a blog post at this site, Trebor. I fell behind during the days when I was reporting on the Wade Pfau story. So now I am catching up.
