Most of my investing philosophy has been to attempt to match the market (via index funds) and has worked quite well for many, many years. I am sure you would agree that this philosophy has been a sound one.
OK. Although as I said more than a year ago, index funds were over weighted to the largest, most popular, and expensive stocks. That has proven to be true. Of course that was not an opinion, it could have been verified by a little research on your part.
Even the most expensive stocks have outperformed EMD or HSGFX which have both been proven to be klunkers. My index funds have done crazy good over the last 40 years.

Anyway, I first posted here March 2015. If you have a different view, so what? Although most of what you believe to be investing is nothing more than a laundry list of negatives that appear to be unwinding.

Great philosophy as long as the market is going up
Are you guys new to the internet? So many feelings hurt because they got "attacked" on an anonymous message board LoL. I used to get mad when that happened to me... When I was like 11 years old.
Igy has made very good calls this year. SARK, the overall market falling, BTC dropping by half, and this small rally these past couple weeks.

Thanks. All reflecting my valuation orientation or perma bear view, if you wish. I hold no ill will toward any poster. Wish the best to all in a challenging market.
Voices that saw this bubble brewing were muzzled, labeled, or worse. This Bloomberg opinion piece summarizes what was always there, and is likely not over.

Michael Burry was screaming bubble for the past two years but got banned from Twitter.
I am not into conspiracy theories, but much does reside on keeping the ball rolling. Just consider for a moment all the extreme policies in recent years. Head scratchers. To think much of it was rational is beyond belief. I suppose Burry, like many, throw up their hands and say “OK, then let it blow.”
let's not count our bearish chickens here...the market fell 20%ish. That's not a huge drop, historically. On average we get one of those every few years. So there's no 'bubble confirmed' yet. Except in weird crypto like NFTs and minor coins. That dog don't hunt anymore.

Right. We are now up a bit, but the market could potentially go lower still. The more time passes, the less likely that is, but it's still possible. The worst of the economic times are very much still ahead of us I think, and there are plenty more rate hikes this year... I do think we'll be back up to all time highs in 16 months or less though.
Igy for 10 years you have been predicting the S & P to fall much lower than it is. When are you ever going to predict anything positive for it? If you are always a doom and gloom investor (and I mean always) no one will ever put much credence in what you are predicting.
Igy has been making the correct up and down calls all year. Where you been? He even predicted this rally.
I don't think I've seen Igy with a single original thought. Everything is straight copy/paste parroted from Hussman, Sven, or Fox News.
Even if I agreed his prediction was "correct" (exaggerate much??) I would hardly give him "kudos" as he would merely be "correct" by simple luck (i.e. one cannot be "correct" in this context by way of pure dumb luck).

Correct long XLE
Correct long hussman
correct long EMD, I think. Depends when he bot.
correct long SARK
correct on calling top of April rally
correct calling current rally.
did I miss anything? Igy has a hot hand right now.
I do think he’ll give it all back as the market recovers but hey he built this.
luck? Certainly there is a ‘stopped clock is right twice per day’ thing goin on here.

How does this compare to Flagpole going 32 for 33 years?
