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.
@VF, jeez, such a testy night. All I meant was you could do the Parnassus of your choice and add a third of whatever your favored bond fund was, Fidelity or Pimco or D&C etc.
In other words I would not necessarily trust Parnassus to come up wi…
@JC
>> start these threads just to get responses from the conservatives.
Interesting that we non-conservatives typically include data and citations or analysis for substantiation while the conservatives, or whatever they claim to be, just a…
@OJ, sorry, I understood you to mean either side as in left/right - liberal/'conservative' (shd be 'destructive'). I inferred totally false equivalence, not know what you meant 'on either side.'
@JC, CNN a hate party? omg, bwahahaha. And then you …
pretty funny:
'Just to be clear, Republicans are asking the court to delay their own lawsuit pretty much indefinitely, because they’ve become terrified of what would happen if they succeed.'

@Maurice,
Cambridge is so expensive now, generally, and Harvard Square so changed, that Red Liners listen to their worker periodicals over their iPhones on their way through.
@rono,
You better do an ipo for that extinguisher product; it is gonna be yuge.
Yeah, '68-'74 was worse than this, with the assassinations and authority murders of protesters.
And what do we, and are we to, conclude from anticipating change? That it's going to be different? (Everything to bonds!) That it's going to continue the same? (US LC for all.) That it's going to be something different or in between? (50-50 SC and R…
Right. Now that the new prez has made me so much money in the market, I am going to do the same, and start paying for what I mostly hitherto mooched.
OT, I bet a nickel that DT is going eventually to really regret being so kneejerk / rabble-rousin…
We are in a golden age of longform investigative journalism, so much of it free or close. I read, not all every day but much too much, WSJ, Marketwatch, NYT, WaPo, HuffPo, politico, vox, some aggregators like aol just for kicks, thehill, talkingpoin…
@OJ, and everyone else,
Please just open Chrome or Firefox or Edge in incognito or private or inprivate mode, and paste the link in there.
You can read a few like that.
After that, considering sending them some money.
I can send or post PK's …
nah, not fantasy like this, really
I posted this in another discussion but can't recall

@MK,
>> His thinking has been so muddled recently because of his political positions I'm surprised he can do anything remotely related to economics.
You're going to have to do a lot better than just your sayso.
Now with data! Latest state of deceitful and dishonest play, from the great Hiltzik:

yeah, applies and oranges for sure --- PONDX std dev is 2.6 or so and FRIFX is twice that. One site says PDI's is 0.5, which can't be right. Ah, M* says 4.3.
I believe in the Big Short (IIRC) it is mentioned as a derivatives-origin haven. Some such recall. I could look it up.
I just thought it beyond droll that Fido using presumably M* data feed would pie-chart it like that. So nuts. This is a prime op…
omg, is that a serious question? ACA is a huge success for insuring many millions who were not insured before. Actual people, and their kids. Dex, you really have to read outside your bubble.
Serious request: Explain why you root so hard for thing…
Oh, Dex, as of tonight there is no more tax penalty enforcement, so now the downward spiral you so devoutly wish for can happen more freely.
Go hang out at an ER, meet some truly straitened people, and have yourself a good time.
See this first; …
@VF
>> merely making the point M* lists it as 40% bonds,
Sorry, did not address that specifically. That is complete crap. M* has many weaknesses, increasing, it seems, but its inability to parse this fund is remarkable, and unfixed over >3…
