Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:
Like I said, you don’t have any proof. You made it up. On the other hand, we have proof of the harm you caused Wade. Look at how people run away from YOU. No you are all alone.
I won’t be alone or anything close to it on the day following the day on which we elect as a society to open every discussion board and blog to honest posting re the last 41 years of peer-reviewed research in this field.
We cannot have one set of laws for every field of human endeavor except the investment advice field and another set for the investing advice field. That is just not a viable long-term proposition. I believe that the ocean of human misery that people are going to witness as part of the next Buy-and-Hold Crisis is going to give more of us the courage to stand up to you Goons.
But we’ll see, you know? I’m not God. I don’t know everything. But I know for certain that I don’t feel one tiny bit comfortable saying that I believe that the Greaney retirement study contains an adjustment for the valuation level that applies on the day the retirement begins.
My best wishes to you and yours.

I have some simple solutions for you, Rob. If you feel that there are laws broken, then file charges. If you don’t like buy and hold and/or don’t want to buy stocks, then just don’t buy stocks. There you go. Problems solved. Now you all freed up to go out an earn a living. Just remember, to earn money, you have to provide a good or service that someone is willing to pay you for. Don’t expect others to just hand things over to you.
Once we have opened every site to honest posting re the last 41 years of peer-reviewed research, I will have millions of people leaning about the Valuation-Informed Indexing concept and paying me for the investing insights that i provide them that they think are worth paying for. Not one person will be just handing anything over to me. I think that’s the way it should be. Each investor should have access both to the Get Rich Quick/Buy-and-Hold stuff and also to the research-backed/Valuation-Informed Indexing stuff. So long as honest posting is permitted, each investor can decide for himself or herself. I believe that the same laws that apply in every field of human endeavor outside of the investment advice field should apply in the investment advice field as well.
My best wishes.
Rob
Tell you what, you let everyone else post here honestly and then we can have everyone else open up their website to you. Deal?
No, it is not a deal.
If you want to express your honest feelings about wanting to murder my loved ones because I am the one who pointed out the error in the Greaney retirement study, I am not going to permit you to express those feelings here. I might do it one or two times just to show people what we are all up against. But the purpose of this site is to help people become better long-term stock investors and your intimidation tactics do not help.
They do not help at other sites either. They have been holding us all back for 20 years now. I believe that we all should be following the publushed rules of the various sites and the laws of the United States. Those rules and laws are there for a good reason. If Greaney truly believed that he had included a valuation adjustment in his retirement study, he would have no problem following those rules and laws. I believe that Evidence nailed it when he said that “nobody” truly believed that Greaney included a valuation adjustment in his study, “including Greaney himself.”
