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.
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The trouble with articles like that is that they are so out of date and inapplicable for the current situation at the local Costco.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.
Right; this is one of many sites that dismiss the notion:

They still have a faint lingering of that ag tradition, like the big Midwestern publics; I had a cousin-in-law who was a farming prof there, dept head or something, I think.
Younger than you, U of R '65-'66.
k, thanks, but I would not do it even then, and did not.
If after 5 summers he or she has grown a large mowing service, has bought several machines, includes pals, and advertises, then maybe.
No one is ever going to check, and no one cares. Fideli…

Did not say it was news.
But typically it is not like using oak barrels in France, where they were never bourbon barrels. Bourbon barrels are charred inside, and that adds color and sweetness and complexity to scotch. Every scotch I know of has …
? Boilerplate meant also such as from the great Fairmark.
I know something (a little anyway) about compliance, doing this sort of copy / paste editing and original writing / rewriting of prospectus text for freelance work, irregularly. It is not ea…
Carrying now means ball coming to *rest* with the palm on the underside (below the equator), I believe. It did modulate, yes. It was probably overcalled prior. It is perhaps undercalled now.
The steps thing is not only clarified but much stricter …
Oh, sorry, nothing all that esoteric. I have always bought blends and tweaked them. At least for the 50y I have been drinking whiskies seriously. I am not a finicky single-m type. I love Macallans, most; Balvenies, all; Highland Parks, all; and Glen…
Scotches are very commonly colored, even the famous. Not permitted w/ bourbon. The very pale scotches not so much.
I add things to them. Water, and sometimes drops of other whiskies.
'Burned wood' is a handy referent, but not (or not always) 'pl…
'Lafroig' or 'Lafroe-aig' is a little closer
JW Red is their peatiest blend except for Double Black, which is really strong. Most blends that have black in the name are like that (the 'new' Famous Grouse Black, e.g.). JW Green and Gold are wonderfu…
Yeah, Zags will give UNC a game and may well prevail. UConn women's inexperience showed under immense pressure. Nice and rare today to hear an adult, Auriemma, sound truly mature and with perspective.
Coal extraction was automated long ago and moved west of the Mississippi --- no more human mines, just machines cutting the tops off mountains.

So far as I can see and have tested, none of the bankrate ones does what I wish for.
The Fido site, which I had used before and revisited thanks to msf suggestion, comes closest to being useful, with some manual labor.
I just thought in this day a…
