Larry: Many of the viewpoints that he presents from various other people are ones I don't completely agree with. (For example, my understanding is that an efficient market would be volatile in times of genuine economic uncertainty.) However, I'm completely on board with the 3 suggestions the article actually makes:

"Stay diversified in cash, bonds, and overseas stocks. And above all, save enough so that you don't have to depend on high returns for equities."
"Rebalance your portfolio once a year."
"If you time, keep it limited, rare, and cheap."
