sdy··on Three Delusions: Paper Wealth, a Booming Economy, and Bitcoin
I believe the man is essentially saying that past performance does not indicate future performance. Ironically, most of the comments here are saying he is wrong, because of his past performance.

Can we instead talk about his specific points and why they are wrong instead of just focusing on his past performance?

Also, it looks to me that his performance was good during the great recession. So if another recession is coming, shouldn't the critics here be flocking to him? Or is everyone stuck in the current bull market feedback loop?

sdy··on Impact of breast milk on IQ, brain size and white matter development (2010)
May I ask, where do you live? Where I am at, people push breastfeeding. I find your situation odd. Like if people were pushing soda over water. That does not make sense in this day and age.
sdy··on Race to discover Planet Nine using astronomy and new computational techniques
Maybe I missed it in the article, but why would P9 be at a 30 degree angle from all the other planets. Are they saying that what we know of how solar systems collapses to the nearly the same plane is wrong?
sdy··on Priceline now worth $100B
I have no experience in the travel industry, but I see the value in priceline (name your price). They provide hotels a way to keep the rooms filled without disclosing to the public the low rates. It also provides a way to reach a different market. Source: I use priceline (name your price) at least once a year. Pretty happy with them.
sdy··on Priceline now worth $100B
Is this a joke? I searched roomkey on a couple of marriott hotels and they offered $5 off (about 2% off). I got much better price on priceline.
