The Old Ideas on Saving & Investing Don't Work -- Here's What Does

“Board Owners Decided for Themselves, Just Like You Do, As to What They Will Allow or Not allow on Their Website. Just As You Block People, They Can Block You.”

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

Board owners decided for themselves, just like you do, as to what they will allow or not allow on their website.  Just as you block people, they can block you.  They don’t think you are honest and have told you so.

The decisions that people make re these matters affect everyone who lives in the United States., The people of the United States have enacted laws to protect us from this sort of situation. I think we are going to find a way to get every discussion board and blog opened to honest posting re the research. I think we need to.

This situation ain’t normal. I don’t think it’s viable as a long-term proposition. Lot of people have suffered in earlier Buy-and-Hold Crises. I believe that the onset of the next crisis might soften up some of the resistance. We’ll have to wait and see to find out for sure.

I know that I can’t tell my friends that I believe that the Greaney retirement study contains a valuation adjustment. It’s just not in me. I have to hope that there will come a day when every site will be opened to honest posting, We have achieved great things before as a nation of people. I think it is entirely possible that we will do it once again.

  1. If you think any laws have been broken then take your evidence and file charges. Otherwise, we can only conclude that you are making things up.

  2. The people of the United States will decide the matter in the days and years following the onset of the next Buy-and-Hold Crisis. I have been saying since the morning of May 13, 2002, that I believe that the Greaney retirement study lacks a valuation adjustment. I stand by that.

  3. The people of the United States already decided. That is why they ignore you.

    Like I said, you you have any evidence of criminal acts, go ahead and file charges. You don’t need anyone else to help you with that.

  5. “I know that I can’t tell my friends that I believe that the Greaney retirement study contains a valuation adjustment.”

    Has anyone ever asked you to say that the Greaney study contains a valuation adjustment?

  6. It’s when I pointed out the error in the study that the roof fell in on me. The before and after experiences were very, very, very different.

    Is there some way that I could make you happy without telling tales about the Gresney retirement study?

    “It’s when I pointed out the error in the study that the roof fell in on me. The before and after experiences were very, very, very different.

    So no-one has ever asked you to say the Greaney study contains a valuation adjustment.

  8. All of the abusive stuff started when I pointed out the error in the study. I think that Greaney wants to maintain confidence in the study and in Buy-and-Hold in general. I want just the opposite. I want people to lose confidence in the study and to open up to non-Buy-and-Hold approaches to retirement planning. I’m a research-based guy.

    Does that help?

  9. “I want people to lose confidence in the study and to open up to non-Buy-and-Hold approaches to retirement planning.”

    Then I suggest you actually put forward arguments explaining why they should do so.

  11. “I’ll see what I can do, Evidence.”

    Maybe the arguments are in your book, I suppose we will just have to wait until it is published to see them.
