I’m not the one who contradicted myself. That was you. Again.

He's not mixed up. He's just not a good predictor of the market. Basing it on history is the easy method. Not always right, as in currently, but easy.

Correct. Igy’s incessant bragging about how he is better off than the other posters here (naturally without even a smidgen of proof) is proof that he is status driven. He cannot stand the idea that someone might do better than he does, though it would seem that is exactly the case here.
I don't think you will find many Financial Advisors critical of those that have taken the conservative approach for the past 5 or 6 years anticipating a major correction or crash being on the "near" horizon. But clearly, those that have realized "It's Different this Time", are the ones that have been correct. It's just hard for some to admit that.

This time is different. The economy is going to grow by 3% annually, and the stock market is going up, up and away, and everyone is going to be rich. There is no telling how much wealth can be created through speculation.

Based on your analysis James Glassman has issued a second edition of his 1999 best seller. You can still get the first edition and save a few bucks.

If you ever came up with something original, or entertaining, or honest I would fall right out of my chair.
If you cannot add anything of value, can you at least entertain?
I suppose not. Like so may other things, just beyond your capabilities

Obviously you're so deep in to it now (thinking this way since 2011) you feel you might as well fight for your way of thinking to the bitter end. Which could be awhile. The thing of it is, there will be people who will see it coming well in advance and move to safer ground (unlike your claim that everybody will wait and get out at the bottom). Just be content you haven't lost anything. Missed out on years of market gains, but didn't lose anything. You just timed it wrong. It happens.

Actually he’s lost purchasing power.

And maybe if you offered something other than snide remarks and hate speech, people would be more inclined to treat you as an adult.

Pretty ironic coming from someone who spends hours a day insulting and attacking Igy (albeit quite feebly).

How much wealth do you think has been created by more conventional strategies like buy and hold? You know, for those of us that aren't smart enough to time the market like you...

This is why investors should stick with passive investing via index funds. Managed investments perform quite poorly by comparison.
While individuals regularly proclaim to be “long-term investors,” the average holding period for stocks has shrunk from more than 6-years in the 1970’s to less than 6-months currently.
