“In Ordinary Circumstances, There Would Be No Need for Me to Take on This Work. There Would Be Universal Agreement That Posting re the Peer-Reviewed Research Would Be Permitted. The First 23 Years of Discussions Shows That the Get Rich Quick Urge Residing Within All of Us Is a Very Strong Thing.”

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

Then you should stop your abusive and criminal behavior.  I am also guessing that the fact that you haven’t worked in 25 years also has something to do with it.

My job for the last 23 years has been to open every site on the internet to honest posting re the last 44 years of peer-reviewed research in this field. Do you think it is going to happen by itself with no one working it. The history of the thing shows that you would be wrong to think that. Do you think that it is easy work? Try it for two days and see if that changes your mind.

In ordinary circumstances, there would be no need for me to take on this work. There would be universal agreement that posting re the peer-reviewed research would be permitted. The first 23 years of discussions shows that the Get Rich Quick urge residing within all of us is a very strong thing.

It doesn’t follow that we will never replace Buy-and-Hold with Valuation-Informed Indexing (Buy-and-Hod updated to reflect the last 44 years of research). I believe that we are a fundamentally good people. If we were 100 percent corrupt, we would never have permitted Shiller to publish his research in a peer-reviewed journal in the first place.

We’ll see.
