Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:
“One of the two strategies is suited for use by humans. The other is not. That’s the difference.”
Are you now marketing your timing scheme to aliens? I guess that is your only option since there is no one here on earth supports you.
You don’t support yourself, Anonymous. You had to click an “I Agree” button before you were permitted to post at any of the boards you post at. So your yourself gave your agreement to the laws by which we govern ourselves in this country. That’s a problem for you and the other Buy-and-Holders.
I acknowledge that honest posting re the last 40 years of peer-reviewed research in this field is banned at every large site on the internet. But I don’t think that the Ban on Honest Posting is a viable long-term proposition. If Shiller’s Nobel-prize-winning research is legitimate research (I believe that it is), we are going to see an ocean of human misery during the next Buy-and-Hold Crisis. That is going to melt people’s hearts. People are going to work up the courage to stand up the you Goons at that time. And we will all live richer and more fulfilling lives from that point forward. Once we make the transition to Valuation-Informed Indexing, there will not be one person who will ever want to go back to Buy-and-Hold.
We are living through a huge leap forward in our understanding of how stock investing works. Huge advances can be messy. I wish it wasn’t so. But it is obviously so. And you are right about the bans. But I am right about the laws of the United States. The laws of the United States say as much about what we are as a people as does the Ban on Honest Posting re Shiller’s amazing research findings.
We’ll see.
I wish you all good things, in any event.
Rob
Here are your problems:
The majority of your content is 15 years old.
The majority of your content is repetitive. In fact, it doesn’t look like you have had anything new to say for over a decade.
Your predictions have failed.
There have been no successful outcomes with your strategy and you have even failed.
Why would you continue to waste time on something that has no perceived value?
If Valuation-Informed Indexing did not have huge perceived value, discussion of it would not be banned at a single site, Anonymous. You do not ban things that are not a threat. I mean, come on.
We know how stock investing works today. That’s wonderful. We can all live better lives from this point forward as a result.
But there is a price to be paid for incorporating what the last 40 years of peer-reviewed research teaches us into our knowledge base. The price is that the Buy-and-Holders will have to learn how to say the words “I” and “Was” and “Wrong.” Some are fine with that. But there are enough who do not want to go there and who have enough power to get their way to hold the rest of us back. For now, the rest of us have been willing to tolerate being held back.
The next Buy-and-Hold Crisis will bring on an ocean of human misery. I believe that that will cause some more people to work up the courage to stand up to you Goons. We don’t need that many to make it happen. We already have 10 percent of the population that believes that Shiller’s Nobel-prize-winning research is legitimate research. If another crisis brings that up to 20 percent, I believe that will turn the key.
It’s all downhill sledding from there. For each and every one of us. We all want the same things. We all want to know how stock investing works in the real world.
My sincere take.
And my best wishes to you and yours.
Rob
