You've posted 3802 times. In every single conversation that takes place on this board. It's awfully hard to avoid your comments.

And please check my 5 comments from the previous post. Those are in direct refutation/answer to your thoughts on the PP. If you don't think there's any informative info there, that's fine, maybe there's not.

And tell me how many posts mention how the United States will be a Japan. Or the big deflation , over and over and over.

Or the worthLess currency group and hyper inflation

This is what a pp discussion will always be about that’s why

If I was a stock bug I wouldn’t be 25-40% equities.

Well you have to do what you see fit and we who think there are better ways going forward will do the same

And yet you're still just going to spend hours on this forum grumbling and fussing about 'rising rates' and how you don't think the PP is going to work going forward.

Let Budd and mathjak alone, I say. They are doing us no harm.

I have followed all the relevant posts and I cannot find anywhere mathjak107 suggested that people who disagree with his take on LTTs are “lemmings.” I think you are just inferring that from his disagreement with you.

In any case I enjoy all discussion on investments. The more opinions I can get the better I feel that I have at least contemplated all possible scenarios and poked all possible holes in my portfolio.

In other words, if I get busy and don't get a chance to check on the percentages and rebalance for two or three years, it's not going to matter, it's still going to be fine when I get around to it. For people, who check on their portfolios every day, they may be able to get a better return if they have a good momentum system or similar to follow that requires a lot more attention and work as compared to the PP. Mathjak and Budd seem like guys who check on their portfolio every day. They should just find a system that works for them and be happy about it, without haranguing the rest of us about how they were lied to and over-promised about the PP performance, when in fact as far as I can tell, the PP has been performing similar to always even over the last few years.

That's inevitable. I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The hard part is figuring out which asset to subtract for the next 3 years and onward.

Well your comment was that the PP had performed as advertised so you weren’t sure what was the problem with LTTs now. My point is that it performed well in spite of them. So its fair to analyze their usefulness going forward if we are in a long term trend of them dragging on performance.
