Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:
“Did “everyone” speak up about it on those occasions when Greaney would say that a 4 percent withdrawal is “100 percent safe” even at the sort of valuation levels that applied in the last 1990s. I don’t recall “everyone” doing that.”
Why would they speak up about it? No one said it, no one thought it, only one person obsesses about it. Repeatedly stating that the study did not contain valuation adjustments would be like repeated stating that the moon is not made of cheese.
There was a huge response to my post. It was like a nuclear explosion. Outside of you Goons, the most common thought expressed was: “Thanks, Rob, for starting the most exciting discussion in the history of this board.”
Investing Discussion Boards Ban Honest Posting on Valuations!

You are still doing the same things and you haven’t learned a thing.
Okay, Anonymous.
I do wish you all good things, in any event.
