A surprising number of those responding to my poll at tmf think the conventional methodology is fine barring an asteroid strike. The board general seems to be very careful in extrapolating past results to the future. Yep, there are still a lot of people over there who think the past 130 years provi...

I believe one of the large scale migration trends is indeed to the SE and SW. Cities like Pittsburgh are actually shrinking (at least I think that's one of them) and although places like Atlanta are mentioned more often as destinatinos it's supposed to be a pretty wide-scale trend. Atlanta has the ...

It is always a good idea to have a couple of projects in the background during the Holiday Season. ... The first set of projects is to upgrade the Retire Early Safe Withdrawal (Rate) Calculator. The data analysis modifications are especially helpful. See these threads for details. ... Another set o...

I have another question re: Excel. Have any/either of you used a Monte Carlo engine add-in to Excel? I remember reading about one, but I must have lost my reference to it. I am reading an interesting book by Nassim Taleb wherein he talks about the various experiments he has done with Monte Carlo si...

I would hugely appreciate any help, and will report my findings here. I am also learning to make box-plots of all this data, and will try to post them with a link. Sounds very interesting, MacDuff.

I had in mind you [ataloss], wanderer, hocus, and more. Not intercst. That is the thing, datasnooper, in terms of actual intellectual disagreements over stuff like 'does valuation affect SWRs' or 'is the REHP style study sufficient to ensure a safe retirement', there were practically none at this b...

Re: Commercial Paper Switching Model
Using the 4.12% withdrawal rate initially programmed into the REHP, the 100/40/0 allocation with switching at P/E 15 and 20 produces better results in 30 plus year periods. Most 20 and 10 year periods also gain average terminal values. Survival rates are 100% for all periods except for 40 years, wh...

Okay, well I'm still lost. Can someone point me to a thread where something happened? I'm unclear why this didn't happen weeks ago and why it suddenly happened now when the boards had seen little hocus activity. I think action may have been taken as a result of the previous uproar, not anything new.

To an extent I can see some circumstances where it might apply to someone with my way (chicken-little :lol:) of thinking. If I was struggling along with a barebones $500,000/4%/$20,000 a year scenario I'd be very scared if my portfolio dropped 15% and I'd probably immediately cut down to,say, $16,0...

hi Bensolar, I would say that at least there isn't much new under the sun. Plagarism, in my view, requires the use of exactly the same words. Recycling ideas is different (and probably the basis of many academic careers) This is true. Hocus's post strikes me as a touch of recycling, but with some s...

No plagiarism that I can see, different scenarios.
As I previously posted at TMF: [A TMF poster wrote about reading the Terhorst's book] "Cashing in on the American Dream" ... "the Coin Toss Law" ... Let's just say the exact wording is replicated in the following post: http://boards.fool.com/Message.asp?mid=17389587 To be fair, i...
