I myself see a big pullback coming in the next six months but I don’t know that I have ever been correct over 45 years. I will put a lot of money in if a 10% pullback comes. I expect you r being prudent depending on how old you are. The thing is, if you’re young, you might as well stick it out and not try to time. He said.
One of my kids is househunting (or condo) and going to tap into her Roth and possibly her rollover for downpayment, so I am carefully reading all of these regs for 'first-time' homebuyers.
It's 55% of my entire investment net.
To some degree I understand on paper what it does. What I am still trying to get my mind around are worst-case scenarios and how it would compare with some combo of conventional LV and broad bonds. The leverag…
>> in each case in an amount potentially up to the value of the Fund’s assets.
>> ... You have to state ... that you can afford losing 100% of your investment, etc.
Can you describe a scenario where this would happen but TWEIX plus DOD…
I am honored to be slurred by Ted yet again, for like the third or fourth time.
But hey, study these data:

>> getting $10K of securities for $10K.
Roger all, again, ... but why do you keep putting it like this?
Only in a world of no trading costs, and no other costs either. Not only does it never happen, it ought never to happen. (And it never d…
Roger all. Also, I was misdirecting your point, about fees for the exact same thing.
Still, what did this mean?
>> prefer not to pay more than $10K for $10K worth of securities.
Does it intend to say that paying the least amount above $10…
Yeah, thanks much, I just today happened to recheck at Fido and ML, and one is avail for a fee and the other not. It trails FOSFX (e.g.) but may outpace soon enough. May.
I am going to stop waiting w/ the spare cash I have and stick it in DSENX ins…
>> I'd prefer not to pay more than $10K for $10K worth of securities.
haha, there goes the system. I'd prefer not to pay any markup ever for anything, cars, groceries, furniture. Actually no, I don't mind; I know that's how the service gets …
@msf
>> bid/ask spread. With an ETF you're almost guaranteed to lose.
>> tracking error.
What do these mean in consequence? That is, even if true, so what ?
>> give it to those who don't work or won't work.
like the very wealthy, for example.
>> I put money at risk, that's how I worked for it !
Now that's funny.
@Ted, did you not just receive some health care, I believe you posted?
Wait, aren't we talking about a company, and a stock? Besides, Citizens United shows that companies are people too. Also, it was policy. A 'few', haha. Do you think the fines and penalties are for a few? Perhaps that big explosion has you confused.
Lolz. Being called a moral chest-beater for finding fault with a dirtbag cheat shop like WF is beyond droll, triply so from someone who posts tough-guy video clips and such. Made my evening, humorwise.
As you know, it all depends on your post-tax rate and the likelihood of your matching or beating it by deploying the money elsewhere, and more important by the comfort level. (There have been past discussions here advocating either path, of course l…
It might also be the case that $500 spent on a couple hours w some savvy trust / family $ attorney would get you all the info you need and all the path decision points.
Dig, but all the Edelman (and similar) people are not on commission (heavy on etfs and the like, or so they say). I imagine anyone such would want ongoing relationship and management, not just a consult, although they do say they offer a free consul…
I am trying to think what it might benefit you if you went with an Edelman financial planner to coordinate or indeed run the whole show. They work in concert w local attorneys. Maybe you are well past that stage, and maybe it would provide another l…
The trouble with articles like that is that they are so out of date and inapplicable for the current situation at the local Costco.
Interesting about TJ port and s-m.
BB at Total in Mass. is down to $14.79 / 3L, so I shall have to revisit. But I …
Which house brand is that? They have good Kirkland chianti and okay rioja and malbec, and probably some others. An okay strong sauv blanc. No case discount at my Costco.
Yes, just came back from Total this minute, and $3.75 / btl is at the right point, and where the Frontera blend sits. (Prefer it to the BB, very slightly.)
I have been in the middle of these calcs for some time and have even posted here about them, and was kindly referred to a handy but complex calculator that I could not get to work and should retry.
I did speak with both my son's fil (who does taxes…
The new (so to speak) V69 gold, as opposed to the excellent old V69 black, is okay, though not much more than that --- like Scoresby it's on the rung below Smugg and Dugg. (The latter is sweet and almost chocolaty.) Imo. Regardless, Smugg is well ab…
Anyone who thinks guys is not neutral, and has not been generic for decades, needs to listen to women (sports, business, social) talk to one another. What are you guys doing tonight? You guys need to play better D. Listen up, you guys. etc. etc.
Oops, oops, and d'oh, sorry, I agree and when I wrote about it, both plus and minus, I was thinking of Bowmore, another very good but altogether acquired taste (peaty).
Oban is just fine in most ways.
