A bond person would write an article like that :-) More seriously, given the creative destruction inherent in capitalism, one should generally try to think like others ahead of others. That doesn't mean setting the impossible goal of being ahead of everyone, all you have to do to beat the indexes is be ahead of the majority most of the time. That article effectively takes the buffet-ish "hold forever" to the limit to make a philosophical point.

Lovett tracked the 20 most active stocks of 1901 and the 20 most active bonds and followed them through their ups and downs over the next 35 years...and found things changed. Rick, just read two Popular Mechanics of that time for better insight. And if you believe as I do... that if a company never pays a dividend, or at least not much of one, that its stock price should approach zero... a “smiling phantom” in my poem, but it just as easily could go by the name of Blanche Dubois in another figurative setting with the allusion ... Tough to keep reading that article. If you ever get to know anyone who insists on lousy writing to make a living or a showing, you'll find that they'll write anything at all.
