1) yes if I were using my failsafe method a drawdown of 60% is possible. 2) I said a conservative estimate of avg annual return, so 15-18% is not unlikely. 3) Your advice to get a financial advisor is just plain stupid because : A) this is exactly what happened in some asset classes in...

News stories backing this up are readily available if you bother to google it. AFAIK : Looks like it's a result of cosmic radiation or the sun's cycle.

I didn't say I relished the fact of NK or Iran getting nuclear capability only that it IS an inevitability. Having the silly notion of prevention as our only card is stupid. Btw:I feel sorry for you. I see when your assumptions are the least little stressed (by observations of reality)...

So let me get this straight, it's so hot on venus because of all the cars and smog in it's past or is that a result of our burning fossil fuels here on earth?

Well that rules you out.

Obama voters in general would give you a blank stare if you asked who the vice president was much less what the unemployment rate is. Probably less than 1% have even heard of the labor participation rate. They don't know and they don't care but they sure can vote for someone who's promised...

Sorry to hear that but focusing on only 1 years returns really isn't all that relevant unless the losses were attributable to your system. Maybe last year was a fluke, it happens. btw: A 60% drawdown is not outside my expected potential loses on my fail safe method if that makes you...

Really ? The nuclear genie won't stay in the bottle and pretending that you can is the most painfully obvious thing to me.

Soros is in Israel?

Fine we'll implode it for them, gratis.

He will claim lowering the unemployment rate and radical changes are required for further progress. IOW: He will claim to rid the patient of a fever but omit the result is the patient assuming room temp.

Too many people believing that was precisely what allowed bernie madoff to get away with his scam for so long that and an appeal to authority (non-executive chairman of the NASDAQ stock market,).

I'll restate it for you. I expect I can achieve average annualized returns of 10-12% /yr fairly easily with little effort.(this is my fail-safe method not my current one) That does not mean it won't be volatile in the short run. I really don't care if my system or method is good, all I care...

FYI: Your reading comprehension is below that of 5th grade. I never stated nor implied such nonsense , but there you are creating your own ridiculous straw-man argument. Funny thing I bet you're completely oblivious of your complete and utter dependence upon creating straw-men arguments or...

stu does all the time, just mention god in a thread ( like 3 times) and see what happens.

I think he was thanking the flying spaghetti monster for creating the universe.

Those are 2 separate things annual returns and smoothness of equity curve. Also if you will note I said avg annual returns of 12% are quite easy.

I just gave an explanation of why billionaires would look to embrace market interventionist democrats. If you fail to understand, that's your problem not mine.

I'll be the first to admit I cannot accurately predict the future of the market. Apparently the really sweet trades are over for awhile with my approach. It doesn't mean profits are not possible but they come at increased probability of negative manifestations of risk. I don't think I would...

Actually he has a very good point otherwise billionaires would need a standing army to protect them. They instead choose standing armies of lawyers and lobbyists to peddle influence on the gubbermint to hinder their competition and access free gubbermint loans etc etc. democrat politicians...
