Hi kenm. Some people are more equal than others. :wink: Yes, you better shut up, kenm. If you document hocus2004's inanities, some might call them idiocies, then you are posting in bad faith/not ready to discuss the realities of SWRs/blahblahblah. :lol: Interesting how so many of those who essential...

If you can't play by the rules, and you can't be nice, you can bet your a#$ it will! Perhaps we disagree on the rules. Have you been snipping/deleting my posts (saw the first one, any others)? whatshisname seems to inspire that sort of thing... I wonder if you will enjoy the bargain you've struck. ...

I'm really grateful to hocus for teaching me about value investing. Hocus taught me that after he began posting at tmf in 99/00. That fantabulous post, which I commemorate with an unusually hairy d*mp every May 13, was a real 'insight'. Unfortunately, hocus didn't come up with his 'tool' (God, is th...

At any rate, I didn't follow this train of thought in my earlier post, although it occured to me, because I'm trying to avoid getting all four limbs and my head stuck in the tarbaby this time around. Too late! :wink: That's OK. Hocus' infrequent posting pledge seems to have been honored in the brea...

That debate was started by you (at least in my experience): there's your credit. Sorry, bensolar, but if you'll recall, after hocus linked to the standalone post 8 of a thread, yours truly went to the whole thread where I noted that the top post contained a reference from Bill Bernstein on the impo...

From the 'physician heal thyself' department: hocus said (my edits in bold ) There is an extensive record in the Post Archives showing that posters who employ the phrases like 'not ready to discuss the realities of SWRs' or 'dishonest posting practices' or 'word game posts' or... for purely tactical...

I'm not sure what was censored in my post on the other thread. Is it really true that we can't simply call statements like 'wanderer you would do the community a service by thanking me' or 'the future is different from the past but it is the same as the past' and 'bensolar, little h's and little wha...

Not hard to tell why kenm is a millionaire. Not hard to tell why I have gotten more out of kenms' guidance on the use and avoidance of filipina maids than any of the 1 million lines of BS from a certain someone we can't mention. I wonder if the jackboot of censorship so favored by the hall monitor t...

Raddr - Are you sure you want your valuable, time consuming, well-documented and thoroughly caveated contributions on SWRs to be associated with a site that permits________? (I hate to suggest that because I DO like ES and the incredible place he has put together. Still, BS is BS.) The insinuation t...

Hi Tryan. Always enjoy your take. We have thought about this. It is work. And the same sort of production line approach and LTCG. Dunno about the 1031s. Can be costly and tricky tax wise. Why not just sell and your capital gain should be in the 5% area (with $45k+- of income in retirement) with none...

I still believe the demand for dependable income-paying assets, like real estate and REITs, will increase as the boomers flee the regular salaries of the workplace and as their US-based employers desert them. It'll be a bit of a climb - I'm down almost 20% on these REITs. I do enjoy money sloshing t...
