“When John Bogle Put Up His Post Saying That He Could See How Valuation-Informed Indexing Could Work, I Believe That He Was Putting Out a Feeler to Mel Lindauer. He Was Trying to Resolve the Frictions So That Everyone Could Get Along.”

Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:

Put me down for standing behind Jack and Mel. People like you that make up lies need to be put in your place.

When John Bogle put up his post saying that he could see how Valuation-Informed Indexing could work, I believe that he was putting out a feeler to Mel Lindauer. He was trying to resolve the frictions so that everyone could get along. If Lindauer truly supported Bogle, he would have jumped at that opportunity. He would have said that he agree with Bogle that Valuation-Informed Indexing can work and all of the nasty stuff would have been behind us.
