Econ,
Of course a long time horizon mitigates portfolio management mistakes. Another 50% drop in the stock market and a severe bond market decline at the same time may cause you to revisit your historical data and it's relevance.

You don't get it. There's no need for any "portfolio management mistakes". I understand that your business relies on timing the market, but experience shows us that there is a better way. I suspect that you know that, but are unwilling to admit the truth because of your employment situation. I get that.
Regarding any future drops, I continue to maintain that this time is not different. There will be drops and there will be recoveries. You can continue to believe it is different this time, but you do so at your own peril. Or should I say, you do so at your clients' peril.
Econ,
I get it, you are too young, inexperienced or have too little money to make a difference.
Igy
Believe what you want.
Econ,
To be clear, I believe for most people a systematic investment plan with a properly balanced asset allocation makes sense. Most people have very few assets to move the needle and are too unsophisticated to rebalance risk. On the other hand, people with significant assets, and shorter investment time horizon should not place their investments on auto pilot.
Believe what you want.

The company line. I expected nothing less.
Econ,
An unsophisticated and snarky response as expected.
Igy
Believe what you want. At least I have not stooped to insults.

Of course there are no insults in the above post.
Igy
Agreed. So why did you copy that?
Econ,Because I wanted to document your snide comments. I guess snarky comments are insults in your book, only a habit of poor manners.Igy

There are no snide comments in the post you quoted. And I guess you know that since you have not highlighted any.
Disagreeing with you is not an insult. Surely adults can have a conversation where they disagree with each other and not have to resort to insults.
Econ,
Like I said you are a creature of your habits. Laying your snide comments aside, you enjoy twisting a post to fit your narrative. While your posts typically add very little to any conversation, lack a depth of understanding. Very simple analysis to complex questions. Yet you freely criticize my profession. Reminds me of Joe Beets' posts usually wrong or misdirected.
So sorry.
Igy
Believe what you want.
Econ,
Time to progress from the entry level class. Start with reading Harry Markowitz, Modern Portfolio Theory. Following completion I will give you the next assignment.

Why don't you two get a room? Huh?
We have a room. This thread is an "internet room" where people come together to discuss topics of mutual interest. That's exactly what was going on here, at least for awhile.
Yeah? Well you're conversing with Figy the troll. No one is really that thin-skinned. So if you want to feed the troll, do it elsewhere.

If Sally V is really a woman, she must be the most obnoxious *itch ever.
That's very inappropriate. Do you not have any sort of moral filter?
