“The Shift from Buy-and-Hold to Valuation-Informed Indexing is (By Far) the Greatest Advance in the History of Personal Finance. That’s Why It Has Been Hard to Pull Off. Changes Like That Do Not Happen Overnight.”

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

If you were right, you would be rich by now, while the rest of us would be broke. It never played out like you said it would.  You have admitted as such.

Things did not play out as I thought they would. This has been the worst bull market in U.S. history. Who could have possibly anticipated such a thing?

If we don’t open the entire internet to honest posting re the last 41 years of peer-reviewed research, we are just going to have to live through another bull market in days to come. Does that sound even a tiny bit appealing to you?

I think that I will become rich from this work in days to come. The shift from Buy-and-Hold to Valuation-Informed Indexing is (by far) the greatest advance in the history of personal finance. That’s why it has been hard to pull off. Changes like that do not happen overnight.

My best and warmest wishes to you and yours.
