When is the last time you read a serious financial analysis that divided up 150 years of world history in such a way? Or tried to relate it to investment?

Does that mean you're correct?

I read through her website, and it's pretty much the same thing you'll get on other pitch sites ultimately selling a newsletter. It's not bad advice in general, but wealth managers and other investors don't post example portfolios. They post their track record with real money.

Ray Dalio, the founder of the world's biggest hedge fund does primarily this in his public communication.
Anyway suit yourself, the whole point of it not being team politics is that it really doesn't matter at all if people disagree. I factor her advice heavily in my own portfolio and it has benefitted me. If you think she's wrong ignore her. And I guess complain loudly that other people find it useful.
Yes it does. Because I'm not playing team politics, it is not competitive, in the sense that there are two sides where one wins.
I'm stating that people find this take useful. The fact that it is getting updated indicates that people indeed do find it useful. In that case it is tautologically correct.
As mentioned before, the awesome thing about playing my game instead of your game is that the fact that you disagree is totally meaningless to me, as I mentioned I'm not on a team, I have no opponent. Unless you have a way to stop me from using Lyn Alden's advice, I simply place zero value on your opinion and move on. (except in the sense that it is fun to point out the fallacies for sport in the context of a message board).
