Does anybody have an quick answer to the question of why the Garrett and  
Rhine study and the Shiller paper reach such different results?  
Presumably, if Garrett and Rhine were my financial advisors, they would  
tell me to participate in the personal accounts, while Shiller would tell  
me to stay away from them. Or am I misinterpreting one or another of these  
two papers?
