Buy-and-Hold Goon to Rob: “When the Creator of the 4% Rule Says 4% Is No Longer Safe, in the Friggin Wall Street Journal, It’s Huge News. Many Times More People Saw That Article Than Bernstein’s Obscure Twenty Year Old Book. Thousands of Times More People Than Saw Greaney’s Study. Millions of Times More than Remember Greaney’s Study (Pretty Much Only You and Greaney.)”

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

“There’s no news in knowing that 4 percent is not always safe.”

When the creator of the 4% rule says 4% is no longer safe, in the friggin Wall Street Journal, it’s huge news. Many times more people saw that article than Bernstein’s obscure twenty year old book. Thousands of times more people than saw Greaney’s study. Millions of times more than remember Greaney’s study (pretty much only you and Greaney.)

But to you, it’s all meh. Funny how you always have an excuse for taking no action yourself. You accept no personal responsibility for anything or anyone. It’s always “we have to…” meaning other people. When are you, Rob Bennett, going to do something more than make a note for yet another unseen ValueWalk repetition?
