Well,  ??? then please share with us what strategy is employed for the other 60% that apparently IS guaranteed to work as envisioned?  :-\
Where do you get a guarantee?

There is no guarantee, just diversification in strategy such that if one strategy fails, hopefully another will not.

A timeless question!

I just voted for the first time. 2nd choice - Monetary Cycles.

56 votes so far.

Still time for you to vote!

(Are people allowed to change their votes in these polls?)

I went for low volatility and peace of mind.

It's nice to be able to, as Craig said, whistle past the graveyard.
