For those more open to the tactic, the article is interesting if you enjoy people's accounts of how we got from where we were to where we are through the eyes of people who were in the thick of it. I love confirmation bias (when I find out people much smarter than me parallel my own conclusions). Ellis expresses things better than I do, but my main focus as an investor is not investment tactics, but figuring out my temperament, goals, and how to make the stash serve me rather than the converse.
Investors now can — and we all certainly should — use the time liberated by that switch to focus on important long-term investment questions that center on knowing who we really are as individual or institutional investors. We should start by defining our true and realistic long-term investment goals, recognizing that each of us has a unique combination of income, assets, time, responsibilities, experiences, expertise, interest in investing, et cetera, et cetera. Then, with a realistic understanding of the long-term and short-term nature of the capital markets, we can each design realistic investment policies that will enable us to enjoy long-term investment success. This is important work and should be Priority One for every investor.
