I sent an e-mail to Greg Howard, author of the blog at www.MondayHope.com, on March 10. The text of the e-mail is set forth below:
Greg:
My name is Rob Bennett. I am the author of the “A Rich Life” blog (http://arichlife.passionsaving.com). I found your web site today through Twitter.
I would be grateful if you would take a look at a Google Knol that I have posted entitled “Why Buy-and-Hold Investing Can Never Work”.
I have been trying for eight years to bring the matters discussed in this Knol to the attention of middle-class investors. Many have expressed great interest but I have run into brick walls when site owners or “experts” who have endorsed Buy-and-Hold have shut the discussions down. I believe that people need to be able to ask questions to learn what they need to learn for us all to survive this economic crisis.
I have come to believe that the answer lies in getting the word out about this issue to the Tea Party movement. Ordinary middle-class people care about these issues in a way that those who make money promoting Buy-and-Hold strategies do not, in my experience. If you believe that the message that I am putting forward in the Knol has merit and that my idea of spreading this message to members of the Tea Party movement is a good idea, I would be grateful for any suggestions or help you can offer in getting me on the right track in doing so.
Thanks for any help you can offer. Best of luck with your blog and other endeavors!


A community member named “Lemondy” posted a comment to the blog entry on Treasury Inflation-Projected Securities asking why I say that in today’s environment I would like to see a most likely 10-year return for stocks that is 3 percentage point higher than the return available from the super-safe asset classes to justify going with a high stock allocation.
