So I'm not the only one who has had the same opinion. Cool, I like it when someone else is as dumb as I am :wink: I dont feel any need to change their minds, or to refute what they've said for an audience. I just wanted to understand it and see if it makes any sense for me and my situation. It didnt...

You may be right. But I gave him his "chance", listened to it, responded, and yes, now I'm done and its fully ignorable. If the tune changes, I'll look at the changes and see if anything in them 'bites' on me. In the meanwhile, I have 37 billion other pages of information that need reading...

You are again reading too much into what I said. I was not dismissing your 'system', nor anyone elses in specific. I was dismissing ALL AND ANY systems that say "this is 'safe'" or "this will most likely work", or anyone that suggests a particular percentage likelihood applies to...

You guys still dont get it. By the way, re-read my last post and your responses. You asserted I said several things I never said, and argued against points I never made. I think the problem you two have with the various on-line communities is becoming clearer by the day. One of you wants to wrap mat...

I read plenty of your stuff. Admittedly, I skipped through some of the eye bleedingly long and meandering stuff, but I read enough. I stand by what I said. There is no such thing as a "safe" withdrawal rate. Since we cannot determine the future, multiple asset class portfolios could do alm...

My assertion is 100% true. Your "system" kept people out of equities during the 1996-2000 run-up, the largest in history. It didnt tell people to buy them in 2002 just before a 30+% run-up. Your "system" presumes the ability to predict short term market movements and relys on con...

Whoo another stream of consciousness. I'll just dab in the middle. You say I'm wrong about the very mutual feelings regarding you and intercst. I said you might want to re-evaluate and ponder further on that. I asked a forensic psychologist to read several of your posts regarding intercst. While rea...

This is why I stopped supporting you Hocus. Besides your system having some holes in it and your stream of consciousness posts too long for any human being to want to read, you havent given the same fair play you've asked for from others. You were upset at having your posting rights removed, now you...

Hey, have you ever seen the two of them together at the same time? Didnt think so. Hey, can we sweep this baloney back into the special "SWR" forum where it belongs, since the original topic had nothing to do with further "I'm right", "no, I'm right" arguments about the...

As a recent addition to these "communities", its clear to me that none of this has anything to do with the "systems" or investments or anything else. At least not anymore. I started off calling this "jihad" and thats what it is. Both sides dislike and disdain the other,...

I checked out that place. If some of those people were your friends you should choose them more carefully. :wink: I don't know how all this started but the guy that runs that place is kind of a jerk. One time he says post at both places. Next time he's happy about getting 1000's of posts away from ...

An unfortunate set of circumstances. I went to the "kids clubhouse" with the intent to write an apology. Not because I supported someone's request for a second chance. Not because I was a little harsh with some people because I got sick of their childish whining. But...I felt it was approp...

When I stated that 4% is not guaranteed, I am talking in terms of a 90% confidence level. I frankly don't see how you can assign meaningful confidence levels here. However, my opinion probably doesn't matter, because I won't be posting to this forum anymore unless salaryguru's post is restored to t...

Someone get another towel ready.

I agree 100% with what SG said.

Now he has a wine stain on top of that coffee stain from this morning.

Sage advice.

I believe if you look up the term "tempest in a teapot", theres an URL pointing to this topic.
