Yawn - you're still posting here? Do you understand why this board has such a loyal following that shuns M* and those other boards of tripe? Everybody is asking you tough questions, and you just ignore the ones you can't answer. Since you lied about your alum, everything you say is suspect. If you are really invested in the funds you say you are in, 10 years from now you will underperform the market. But the thing is, guys like you convince yourself you didn't. You fudge the numbers and selectively include data. You compare funds to the wrong benchmarks. What I feel bad about is you probably won't suffer from your delusion, since you are (allegedly) putting away enough per year that you will have a comfortable retirement. I feel bad for those who earn less (allegedly) per year who need to be more prudent with their investements who might get tempted with your BS.
Motley Fool has come out with all sorts of "rules" for beating the market - what, market makers and market "breakers" and the like. All of their little games busted in the long run, and I got tired of reading their excuses. If you are so much smarter than the multitude of early retired people on this board, what do you need this board for? All of your "you guys are hopeless" comments make it very clear you are here to troll. You are on a short leash. Contribute something and regain some credibility, or you'll find yourself bounced from the site.
