I’m going to Disney World!

Well, not quite. I’m saving that for the day the Ban on Honest Posting comes to an end. But I’m doing something close. I’m going to Ocean City, New Jersey. We take off in a few minutes. I will not be approving comments to the blog during the time I am gone (sand and computers don’t mix, according to Old Farmer Hocus). But fear not, Goon friends! If you file your stupid comments — er, I mean your well-informed and helpful and much-appreciated comments — now, I will read them when I get back and get them quickly posted or (more likely) sent to the Trash Bin along with most of your smelly, yucky, anti-human comments– er, I mean well-informed and helpful and much-appreciated comments.

I will return to the computer on Friday, August 17, 2012, presuming that one of the Greaney Goons doesn’t shoot me down in cold blood while I am playing a round of miniature golf with my boys on the boardwalk.

I earned this one!

I’ve posted an article to the “The Buy-and-Hold Crisis” section of the site titled Academic Researcher Silenced by Threats to Get Him Fired From His Job After Showing Dangers of Buy-and-Hold Investing Strategies — Teaser Version. The purpose of the teaser version is to give me something to send to political bloggers who might not immediately see the political implications of the story and might be enticed by some of the hottest Wade Pfau comments into reading the version that provides more background and context and detail.

My best wishes to all my internet friends, both the Valuation-Informed Indexers and the Buy-and-Holders.

Stay the Course!
