agree it may not need any new board , but it needs SOMETHING
I do think that a new separate board would help with this, to provide a clear and distinct area where people can ask for advice regarding Total-Return Strategies, or perhaps even provide information on their own individual 'total return strategies', if they feel that they could help others who might be interested?
I for one would support a separate 'Total Return - Strategies' board if this was to be one of it's objectives - similar to how the High Yield Strategies board allows those who follow a wider (non-HYP..) spectrum of 'Income-Investment Strategies' to discuss how they do that, what benefits their approach might bring, what down-sides to be aware of etc...
Put it this way - we keep hearing how many people are quite happily 'carrying out' these 'Total Return' approaches, to help provide their ongoing income, but we only ever seem to
regularly hear about this on
other, non-'Total-Return'-related threads, and quite often whilst interrupting discussions that are quite happily going on with regards to a completely different approach, so if part of the issue with that is that Total-Return-proponents simply want a place to air their views, then why not provide a specific board to help with that, and to both encourage that to happen, and to also perhaps help to avoid the need to interrupt other people's 'ongoing conversations' on often un-related subjects...?
The above might sound slightly negative, but it's not really meant to be, as I do acknowledge that where a distinct 'Total Return - Strategies' board
doesn't currently exist to help corral those types of supportive and collective TR-related discussions, then such behaviours might actually be expected to happen, and the absence of a distinct '
Total-Return Strategies' board might actively be
encouraging it to happen, so if all of the above 'birds' can be killed with the one stone of simply
providing a '
Total Return - Strategies' board, then I'd fully support that idea, and would look forward to reading the collective threads that such a dedicated board might encourage...
