The last straw for me personally was when I tried to interject some reality checks re: book publishing and promotion. I sincerely doubt that there is any imminent hocus book or internet site, nor are there any interviews, newspaper articles, etc. coming soon. These are all part of the rather poorly...

Well said, petey. I was a (the?) person who solicited hocus posting here. He wore out his welcome even with me. I wasn't for banning, but I'm not clear how our community is poorer for his absence given his recent posting practices. What was I getting from his presence recently? If I sat down and at...

Re: So there was this post on another board...
Some of us have seen this for many, many, many (many, many.....) months. I just find it amusing when a new person doubts that he could be that bad. Yeah, he could be THAT bad. *shrug* Hi ChocoKitty, The "new person" said he was here to learn about the banning and "not to stir anythin...

From the examples I can think of it almost always lowers the quality when opposing elements disappear, in particular when they are in effect voted off because this tells a lot about the people that remain. Why don't you invite him to discuss SWR's, intercst's thought crimes, and conspiracy theories...

Re: So there was this post on another board...
Greetings NFBers :) I'm compelled to at least say something in response to a post about me on another board that has been referenced here in another thread. All I can say is I've never seen such a pile of confused and manipulated information in all my born days! :shock:And the ONLY part of that pos...

All kidding aside, the physician side of me feels sorry for the guy. I sincerely hope he gets some competent professional help before it is too late.

LOL! - hocus...er...SamCooke1961 posts on TMF
hocus has been banned from participation at the NFB site (NoFeeBoards.com) because of board reaction to his postings re the SWR matter! El Supremo, site owner, informed hocus of this action in an e-mail sent late Thursday afternoon. El Supremo did not charge hocus with any violations of site rules....

Re: Do we agree at least on what SWR's have been historicall
Interesting points, raddr. In which case, what sort of returns do you use for calculating a w/d rate you use? Petey, For the S&P500 I'd postulate about a 3% real return based on the Gordon equation and other valuation parameters. For REITS I take the yield minus one. IOW if REITS are yielding 5...

Re: Do we agree at least on what SWR's have been historicall
Don't we all agree that in those charts, whether they use Shiller's Price/Earnings ratio based on current earnings or trailing 10-Year average earnings, the historically observed safe withdrawal rates have ranged from at least 4% to at most 11%? I think that stock returns would've been considerably...

Re: At the calculation stage, the SWR is a data-based constr
obviously with monte carlo, the inputs are best estimates ie non-objective the output is thus an estimate (hence raddr's weasel words - in hocus' terminology) Monte Carlo analysis is highly dependent on the inputs so, yes, unless you can predict the future then it is GIGO (garbage in, garbage out)....
