that is quite an offer. what if they make 100 equanimitous posts furthering learning together and 7900 defamatory, disruptive or ad hominem posts.

Anyone out there have any interesting securities in their sights? in my hindsights... i wuz thinking abt clients the other day and was wondering what the last few years looked like for General Dynamics (GD). seemed like the impending "police action", probable undervaluation in the Nero, I...

i assume you were referring to the "cure for obesity" thread?:wink: "For the benefit of any community members here who would like to get an idea of what a board on early retirement that permitted posting on early retirement would look like, here's a link:" - Hocus Do you all talk...

the re*p is irrelevant.

hocus' point re: SO participation/relative efficiencies was true for us, as well. i remember when she and my best friend both sort of ridiculed me for enjoying/being inspired by the terhorst book. twelve bloody but onbowed years later, she enjoys the confidence she feels in her financial position an...

fmo - Work could start to look good again. If you are single you can do any damned fool thing you please. It is only you (the great mastermind) that has to live with the results. i'm glad my wife likes work! it gives us considerable cushion when planning. the health care thing scares me a lot less c...

per vanguard, vfinx is down 22.15% last year. does the 18.2% reflect the better bond returns?

gwm - So that my position is clear, I believe that Intercst's SWR study is simple, concise, and is as right as the data permits. I have never agreed with Hocus that there is more to be seen. Intercst's data more than exhausts worst case historical returns to my satisfaction. I believe that the absen...

http://boards.fool.com/Message.asp?mid=18306606&sort=whole#18344360 this thread is revelatory of the triad's (g, i, t) basic "discussion blocking methodology." old news, i know. what was not so old hat were some posts by jammerh, euro(! - the 'American Century" comment was somethi...

This was great insight on his part. I have to say that I was never enamored of the Fool's retire early board. There were so many posts, so much heat, and a bunch of off-topic stuff. I am so happy to have many of you here, and to be able to follow and keep up with the discussion. While I may never b...

hocus - i would be greatly pleased if you would grace us with your presence. i am constantly amazed at the eyeballs you draw - i think it's passion and communicating it in some reasonably interesting form that grabs folks. and, hey, no problem reccing each of your posts! it's a lot easier when i don...

A definitive moment. The two w's have bonded yet again!

you near any of that in Sac? or Sac state (sister to my ugrad institution).

hocus - But if intercst continues to rely on smear campaigns to block the community from knowing what it needs to know, and if we see a larger number suffer busted retirements in the months to come as a result of his actions, I could imagine resurrecting the idea at some future date six months or a ...

hocus:Someone needs to provide me a good reason why we should walk away from one wonderful resource [the TMF board] just because El Supremo has been kind enough to create a second one for us. JWR1945: My answer is exhaustion. ES: I have every confidence that our boards here will surpass(If they hav...

Man, I hate to think how crappy the S&P 500 could continue to be going forward. The current PE-10 of roughly 23 is pretty darn high in the historic record, and it's always been a prelude to rough sailing. All this studying on the issue has definitely made me move to diversify away from the S&am...

september 2001... I believe that's when wanderer began his disappearing act. i agree with mhtyler, move to the suburbs and arm yourselves (latter piece is my addition - es, man your zapper!).

For the record:

I welcome psychological counseling. It's just that I can't get it from the people I want when/how often I want it. The people that say I need it and are offering it are usually incompetent/scary.

There is a flaw in your logic. The site does not belong to the gentleman you are referring to here. It belongs to the community that congregates there. If you congregate there, it belongs to you! i understand that, according to "the rules," this is true, still tmf won't interpret/enforce ...

andrew -

has your query been answered to your satisfaction in a demonstrably open-minded manner?

we're very fortunate to be here, es. for that i thank you. as you can tell, although i am mostly just posting links and brief observations, there was a lot of "communing" and pent up posting. not a slight on anyone since i already knew of their level of insight, i must admit, jwr, has been...
