“Get Rich Quick/Buy-and-Hold Strategies Always Have the Emotional Edge. Permitting Honest Posting re the Peer-Reviewed Research Gives Reason-Based Strategies a Fighting Chance.”

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

Since your house is the largest asset in your portfolio, aren’t you taking a big risk?  Shouldn’t you be timing the housing market?

I think that what I should be doing is speaking out in favor of opening every site on the internet to honest posting re the last 40 years of peer-reviewed research in this field. That would stabilize our economy and permit us all to retire earlier while taking on less risk. What’s the downside?

Get Rich Quick/Buy-and-Hold strategies always have the emotional edge. Permitting honest posting re the peer-reviewed research gives reason-based strategies a fighting chance. I see this as a win/win/win/win/win, with no possible downside.

I naturally wish you all the best that this life has to offer a person, regardless of what investment strategies you elect to follow, Anonymous.
