Still trying to figure out the correlation between the deadness on SI and the markets(g)
It's not just SI being near dead, the whole investing sector seems be bored to death - low volatility keeps the swingtraders out, lack of value and cheap money driven markets keep the value investors out. Lot's of bloggers that I have been following didn't have a post for month. Even Dale Baker, who left SI for Investorsvillage and has been actively investing for more than a decade has basically closed shop.

The issue seems to be that passive investing ( in index funds or other vehicles ) has worked so well that many of us can't beat it and if you can't beat it you might as well join the flock. This will work until it doesn't but even if there is a dislocation, there is no guarantee that active investors will outperform, just based on what I saw in 2008/2009. Welcome to the age of investing boredom, wake me up if something interesting happens....
