I’ve posted Entry #223 to my weekly Valuation-Informed Indexing column at the Value Walk site. It’s called Most Investors Follow Modified Versions of Buy-and-Hold or Valuation-Informed Indexing.
Juicy Excerpt: I expect that another crash might cause the percentage of the population following a modified version of Valuation-Informed Indexing to increase from 15 percent to 30 percent. And we might see a change in the percentage following a modified version of Buy-and-Hold drop from 60 percent to 40 percent.
Thus, the total percentage following either a pure Buy-and-Hold strategy or a modified Buy-and-Hold strategy might drop from 80 percent to 50 percent while the total percentage following either a pure Valuation-Informed Indexing strategy or a modified Valuation-Informed Indexing strategy might increase from 20 percent to 50 percent.

Can you tell us where these percentages came from?

The come from my interactions with tens of thousands of middle-class investors over the past 13 years.
They are estimates made by somebody who has been working this territory hard for a long time now.

You have had interactions with tens of thousands of investors, but you can’t get enough people interested in a discussion board……….hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm

And look what I’m up against, Anonymous.
Death threats.
Demand for unjustified board bannings.
Tens of thousands of acts of defamation.
Threats to get academic researchers fired from their jobs.
The Wall Street Con Men have lots of power and lots of money and lots of connections and they have committed very big crimes and don’t want millions of middle-class investors to learn that because they will be sent to prison if they do. Their Internet Goon Squads are no walk in the park either.
How many people do you think will be posting here on the day after the New York Times writes up this massive act of financial fraud on its front page? I predict that this will be the biggest personal finance site on the internet from that day forward.
And you’ll be in prison.
You lost on Day Six when John Walter Russell posted his sensitivity analysis of the Greaney retirement study. It’s been all downhill for you ever since.
I will get thousands of posters participating here on a daily basis. And I won’t have to break any laws to do it.
Watch me.
