We rely on Rich and Piggington as a reporter, analyzer of facts, and stimulator of independent thinking.
I also value contributions from other folks (including PS) when they provide useful information that we can analyze and come to our own conclusions.
Whether someone made a correct call (e.g. shorting the stock market in the latter half of 2006) or publishes their victories and losses should not be relevant.
So, I made 10x my money in real estate. So what ?
What if I actually made more and didn’t disclose it for personal reasons ? Does that make my call that SD SFRs will drop a nominal 19.3675% to 26.4285% in the current cycle any more valid than the next guy ? I think not.
When one reveals too much information about their personal exploits or failures it invites others to shoot the messenger rather than focus on the message. I applaud Rich for resisting.
Keep giving us the plain old boring facts Professor Piggington … And thanks for not trying to create a cult of personality about yourself.
