  • I Want To Be Your Board General March 26, 2005
  • M* Vanguard Diehards conversation 55037 - This link starts at reply # 30. hocus takes on Larry Swedroe (a real published author). Starting at reply 34 hocus and Swedroe have a lot of back-and-forth posting through post #89. hocus is condescending to Swedroe while Swedroe is alternately patient and sharp. Dec 4 and 5, 2006. Paragraph from #49, hocus to Swedroe:
    Quote:
    My sense is that you feel wedded to some sort of understanding of how stocks work that you read about in a book, Larry. It is not at all unusual to find things written in books that do not corrrespond to what happens in the real world. I'll say for a third time that I mean no disrespect, but I very much believe that you need to run a common-sense filter on what you believe about how stocks work in the long run.
  • hocus and JWR comments on Rob Bennett's blog - They appear to assume that a vast silent majority agree with their views and ponder about why the silent majority hasn't taken action against their detractors Dec 9 2006
    Quote:
    Our Goonishness is not sitting in the toilet bowl, Our Goonishness is sitting in our gut. We are a constipated community that has lost the knack of keeping the goonishness moving through our system on a regular basis.

    The problem is not just Greaney. Greaney is someone who took note of our problem and elected to exploit it for his own purposes.

    Our real problem is that we don't know what to do about our own [****].


  • Slamming WSJ's Jonathan Clements, Jan 19, 2007. hocus reacts to a Clements article mentioning a 4% SWR. hocus purports to know that Clements is moving towards seeing hocus' vision of truth and tries to explain that Clements must be too scared to report the truth. He compares the situation to the Watergate scandal but refers to the movie version for some reason.

  • azanon, June 23, 2007. hocus attacks azanon after asking him his opinion and getting it. And it goes on for one, two more posts after azanon replies to the first attack.
