I for one am not posting on the hocus board. Salaryguru had a post which apparently failed to show enough admiration for our esteemed swr expert and it was pulled. jwr doesn't like the fact that I exposed a bit more of the old thread that hocus cited and it didn't support the contention that the mas...

If this had started without ataloss's having brought back the past, Thank you again jwr for saying that I brought up the past but I have to give full credit to my mentor and hero hocus (he did cite his post/thread from the hocus board- second thread in this one) Hocus quoted the part about..why don...

for the record, the telegraph quote was intended to show "the other side" of the hocus presentation of this ancient thread here is another favorite from hyperborea (in green): While some of the posts on this board are rather long and technical, I wouldn't want them anywhere else, because t...

I find it sort of unplesant to watch them go on claiming to have some secret "swr tool" while the gullible apparently fall for it which is why this board is of less interest to me. I arrived at the rehp board at tmf after people had given up reasoning with hocus and turned toward sneering ...

Petey, good point about asset multiple classes. This is part of telegraph's response to hocus back in 02. Telegraph green hocus (being quoted from the post he is so proud of is red.) Many attempts to educate hocus have failed. Some people have lost patientce. Maybe th will have better luck :lol: aga...

TH. When you say that "there is no such thing as a safe withdrawal rate," you are saying that the study published at retireEarlyHomePage.com is analytically invalid. LOL, For gosh sakes th why didn't you say so :lol: Anyway as demonstrated again hocus/jwr really want to talk about hocus a...

squared one- from the beating a dead horse department

on the hocus board he has a quote from livabord at tmf suggesting that he express his views on swr. but he left off this part of the quote: Also keep it short so everyone will be able to read it. Here's an example of a short description on Intercst's plan: Based on historical data, the highest safe ...

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 tempest in a half cup teapot? sounds fair to me. I slipped in the snake oil and b...

Th, I like the "son with a spare room system" (SRS) I think it has the potential to completely change our understanding of early retirement, asset allocation and multigenerational living. I have an intense desire to advance the world's knowledge of the realities of SRSs. That desire doesn'...

It is a rather tiny teapot. Anyway, I think we are talking about talking about it. :wink: The valuation criticism of trinity/rehp has a point. Especially if one is required to have a tsm/ bond allocation. The long winded posts about conspiracy theories, disruptive posters, "the wave", &quo...

datasnooper put together a well documented refutation of the ff, tmf did their part by actually having a coherent strategy vs. some sort of jargon laden nonsense

the potential pitfalls of a trinity/rehp approach are obvious. the limitations of the "secret swr tool" are unkown :wink:

I feel silly to have even fallen for the FF in the first place

I invested (a little ) too. embarassing in retrospect. probably explains my reluctance to believe secret "tools" like the swr one that is exclusive to this website :wink:

Hi th, I have asked for a dictionary in the past I guess word game post = any post that is in less than 100% agreement with hocus and jwr ataloss anticipating that this will be classified as a word-game-post actually I think by nfb censorship ds may have been referring to the bannning of raddr (but ...

Es, I think the censorship he refers to involves jwr suggesting that bpp make a post about private emails then hocus (apparently having second thoughts about deleting posts) making a big fuss about something- not sure what despite 2500 words on the subject. Formerly of course jwr freely admitted del...

it is quite ironic that someone is booted off a website run by an intolerant swr guru and starts his own intolerant swr sub-board. Even if wrong, the first swr guru had an actual system rather than an imaginary "swr tool" Th has a good point that attention is what the troll is seeking and ...
