That sounds similar to the investor who laments, "You'd be highly successful if you did everything opposite to what I do!"

That trade was defensible. Trades can only be criticized at the time, under the circumstances in which they made. Not with the benefit of hindsight after you know what actually subsequently occurred.

Dualstow, is that Frank Costanza castigating Steinbrenner about trading Jay Buhner? I’m not sure which scene it is, but i just wanted to pay tribute to the late Frank Costanza, aka Jerry Stiller. R.I.P. Let’s just pretend he’s castigating ...

As an aside, Xan certainly has the most knowledge about the identities and locations of the people on this forum. Being the ...

Facebook is therefore a "Costanza Stock".

I'm officially coining that term on this forum.

While I'm at it I think I'm going to start building up my Costanza Wallet by packing it with my gold bullion.

I agree, especially with the last line. Move over Lao Tzu and make room for the wisdom of George Costanza. Do the opposite!

... allocation wait until you are really glad you have all that gold, LTTs, cash and can't stand the thought of buying stocks. For PP doing a George Costanza is (seriously) likely the best approach. Just do the opposite of what you want to do. And as I constantly harp on in the 20% VP PP thread...don't ...

Cortopassi...there is a lot to be said oftentimes for George Costanza investing.

I remember the same thing, barrett. I was alternately traveling internationally and safely ensconced in my college town liberal enclave so I saw a lot of the anti-war movement up close and personal, and from my perspective it seemed like America had gone mad.

In retrospect, I think I was right.

Clacy, I stand corrected. I hadn't looked at the numbers recently. What I remember from those few months leading up to the March 2003 invasion was a lot of small anti-invasion demonstrations. I was traveling a lot throughout the US on business at the time and would see protests in little out-of-the-...

Yes just like with my variable portfolio!

... at the exact wrong time in history). Both policy decisions have been proven to be disasters. Maybe in the future, we can take the George Costanza approach and do the EXACT opposite of what our natural instincts are.

I think the Opposite or "Costanza Portfolio" came up at Bogleheads before, if not here. Funny!

LOL.... "the George Costanza Principle"

... set of ideas.  How is the size of the citizens dividend determined? It's unfortunate that Georgism nowadays would most likely invoke George Costanza.

Wonk, I was seriously considering buying bags of silver coins from Tulving when silver was at 16, but passed ( see my prior post on the Costanza principle). If you were to do this again, in order to avoid this hassle, what would you tell them was in the box? Silver, silver bullion, collectibles....? ...
