Set forth below is the text of a comment that recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:
Funny that you admit that you have been told 10,000 times that Greaney did not make an error. Why continue asking people to let you on their website to discuss it after it has been answered so many times? No one is changing their mind, so stop asking. You have been banned at all the major boards and have been told that it has been because of your bad behavior. Stop asking/demanding access. You have already been told “no”. Stop asking people to believe your made up stories about fraud, death threats, criminal acts, etc. You have already been told that we don’t believe you. Stop asking for settlement payments. No one is going to pay you a dime.
No, we are not “in it together”. You are on your own. Get your own job. Earn your own money. Post on you own website (no one is giving you access to their website). Period.
I believe that the noes will turn to yeses in the days and years following the onset of the next Buy-and-Hold Crisis. A stock investing strategy that lives by investor emotion may come to die by investor emotion when the emotion shifts as the result of the onset of yet another Buy-and-Hold Crisis.
I prefer the research-based stuff. I believe that that’s the future.

………and pots of gold will be found at the end of each rainbow, right?
Sorry, we don’t live in a pretend world like you do. You are broke and there is no fixing your problems. Why would you think there is a scenario that exists with people going along with your plan.
I do believe that all of the people of the United States will find a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow that will enhance their lives for many, many years to come. The Buy-and-Holders did lots of wonderful things. The single best thing they did was to urge investors to refer to the peer-reviewed research for guidance on how to invest in stocks. If only they had stuck with that one!
I think it would be fair to say that the last 42 years of peer-reviewed research is the most important 42 years of peer-reviewed research in the history of investment analysis. I believe that as a nation of people we will be giving ourselves permission to discuss that amazing research at every discussion board and blog on the internet, without a single exception. We’ve got a tiger by the tale re this one! I’m sure of it!
My best wishes to you, Anonymous.

You opinion of what one guy said is not the definition of “peer reviewed research”.
Shiller’s research was published in a peer-reviewed journal.
It’s not just my opinion that Shiller’s research shows that valuations affect long-term returns. The New York Times ran a front-page story on the day that Shiller was awarded a Nobel prize that said that.
Rob
Two things wrong with your comments. First, one study does not make up an entire 42 years of peer reviewed research. Secondly, your opinion as to what was said in one study is also not peer reviewed research.
People have heard your opinions thousands of times. They are sick of your antics and decided there was no choice but to ban you. You have plenty of other places on the internet to try and redeem yourself, but you refuse to engage with people. Instead, it seems your only remaining objective is to just keep going with the same talking points as a cover story for not getting a job.
Shiller’s study has not been refuted for 42 years. That’s the point. If he just publushed it yesterday, it would be possible to say “oh, well maybe someone will discover flaws in it next week or next month or next year.” No one has found any flaws in it for 42 years. So we should be able to talk about it at every site, without a single exception.
Rob
Your opinion has been refuted. Your behavior has been refuted. Your savings are depleted. Your wife dumped you because you wouldn’t work. We are talking about YOUR significant flaws and why YOU are rejected. Shiller is and always has been welcome to participate in the financial community. You are not.
Why not invite Shiller to the Bogleheads Forum and ask him whether he thinks the safe withdrawal rate is the same number at all valuation levels? I have been making that suggestion for many years now and it has not happened. I can’t help but wonder why.
Rob
If your comments about being banned were true, Shiller would be banned at the Bogleheads forum. Instead, Shiller is welcome to post there while you are not. As such, your excuse for being banned doesn’t hold water. We have told you thousands of times why you are banned. You choose to ignore it and you keep trying to hitch your wagon to Shiller. No one is buying it, Rob.
Shiller is always welcome at the Bogleheads forum. You are not. That speaks volumes.

If Shiller showed up at the Bogleheads forum and said that he believed that the safe withdrawal rate is a number that changes with changes in valuation levels, he would be banned. There were several people who were banned because in the wake of the 2008 Buy-and-Hold Crisis they said that maybe the board should have listened to that Rob Bennett fellow. You don’t want the error that the Buy-and-Holders made in thinking that long-term timing (price discipline!) is not always 100 percent required being exposed. And you don’t want the 42-year cover-up of that error being exposed.
That’s my sincere take re these terribly important matters, in any event.
Rob

If Shiller said precisely the same things that I have said (that the safe withdrawal rate changes with changes in valuations, that long-term market timing always works and is always required for investors who wish to keep their risk profle stable, etc.) he would get the same treatment that I get from you Goons. That’s why he generally doesn’t say those things! People don’t like to see the lives of their loved ones threatened or to see their careers threatened.
Drop all of the abusive stuff and within six months Shiller and lots and lots of others will be saying all the same things that I say. The intimidation stuff has an effect. That’s obviously the reason why you employ it. If the Greaney study truly contained a valuation adjustment, he would have showed us all where it is in the study 21 years ago. I mean, please give me a freakin’ break.
