That financial philosophy does describe me. But I also like very low fees because why let a fee be a drag on performance over a multi-decade time horizon? An unnecessary 1% fee compounded is quite expensive. The only time I deviated from a so-called DCA philosophy was during March 2020 when everyone was panicking. Studies have shown that men lag women who in turn lag monkeys when it comes to stocks. I figure an index fund is a good proxy for a monkey so that’s what I go with. ---

> [@octopus](#): > > Studies have shown that men lag women who in turn lag monkeys when it comes to stocks. I figure an index fund is a good proxy for a monkey so that’s what I go with. So you look for minimal fees, pick stocks like a monkey, and blame Biden when you lose your shirt. How many hive or snark points does that get me? ---

So, since we already knew that Octo wasn’t here to contribute anything to the thread other than serving as an example, I direct your attention to new poster (and almost certain to be soon departed poster at this rate) **Bixnood**. They reactivated a 19 year old zombie as their first post - [https://boards.straightdope.com](https://boards.straightdope.com) /t/rich-liberals-oppose-cape-cod-windmills-why/187215/94 (which had a pretty trollish OP from back in the day for that matter) To shriek about NIMBY and fake green energy. A few posters had a moment or two to snark before **Aspenglow** shut it down, but the poster in question must have stumbled in from somewhere, with their 8 minutes of read time to address a near-two decade old rant. The question is, do they blow on by, or stay and ink up the place (briefly) like others? ---

And a poster frequently mentioned in this thread, **agzem** , who we’ve noted makes frequent inappropriate hijacks and low quality arguments based on… suspect information (and misrepresents even that) has pulled a warning, a 3 day suspension, and a modloop consideration in the Child Labor in Alabama thread. Part of that is due to their posting history, but they went whole hog in their usual ‘PC/Woke culture’ hijacks into the thread. ---

Haven’t lost anything. Nor have I gained anything other than more shares of stock. It’s just the so-called dollar value is down. Anyways, how about 3 points? Ah, we’ll make it 10 due to inflation. ---

One of my least favorite posters, **agzem** has been banned! One of only two to ever end up on my ignore list. I’m not sure how much we’re supposed to speak of the banned here, but I am not sorry to see that COVID-denying, anti-vax, purveyor of lies and damned lies hit the road. ---
