<<All the comments regarding how to get disability were very disheartening. Always people looking for the easy way out.>> People who engage in fraud to get SS Disability should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. My wife is legally blind and has resisted SS disability as long as she has been able to work, but that day is rapidly coming to an end.

"Investors", eh? Ah. To me, a reminder of the old White Horse Dialogue of my student days, i.e. a white horse is not a horse, dontchaknow -g-. That is, the problem for me regarding the Dalbar article is that I don't see them define "investor". And to me that is the crux. So many people use "investor" to mean "market participant" or "market player" -- a commingling of investor and/or short-term trader and/or swing trader and/or ltb&h person. I don't though: I view "investors" as people who participate in "investment operations" -- not trading ones. And so I view the Dalbar article as incorrect as to what the performance of what I call "investors" is vs. what Dalbar says they find from the totality of whoever they characterize as "investors" (apparently any retail customer of a brokerage firm). Just my view of course.
