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.

Some misunderstanding here of democracy vs representative gov, odd. We do not want the former almost ever.
Noted. I have recently switched my own personal preference from SCHD to NOBL.
Keeping an eye on the new OUSA, courtesy Snowball.
You might like looking into CAPE.
(I also track RSV, RPG, and RPV, though they're not div-oriented.)
>> A low cost S&P 500 Index fund is highly likely to have a better 10 and 20 year return than any other fund you choose....
I cannot find a period where PRBLX has not surpassed SPY. Can you? Not saying that it's highly unlikely, but.

No, no; dude, you're thinking of:
Some songs are just tattoos for your brain; you hear them and they're affixed to you.
lolz! This made my day.
Thanks much!
- Was avoiding Fido commissions else I woulda listed my faves OUSA, NOBL, CAPE, and SPHD. (How come you did not mention them yourself?)
- Was thinking DVY would provide the breadth, and the proportion to HDV would be modest. May scrap …
Man, what a dumb-dumb article, even (or perhaps especially) by Fool standards.
If I take it early and I invest it luckily (really luckily) and leave it alone and do not need it (wait, why then did I take it early??) and my spouse is going to die ea…
Way too coarse, though there are other, finer filters, as someone pointed out.
Born and reared in southern Ohio and long transplanted to Boston, I was pleased when Larry Bird arrived with the Celtics and spoke without an accent :) .
@msf, thanks yet again for thoroughness. Not wealthy enough to decline or give away (want to do more charity than we do anyway). Itemize deductions (mortgage interest among other things). 70.5 is next year also.
Thanks; been looking at HSA since posting and it is a nonstarter, yes.
There are no other accounts for funding.
There would be no circumstance where a 20% withholding would apply. Had not thought about the 10% penalty, which settles it.
Thanks v mu…
Thanks. HSA had not occurred. Not worried about Roth continuation. Vehicle choices will be good and similar regardless. I was going to consult Kitces, and this spurs me -- thanks for that the most! Was mostly hoping someone here would point me towar…
What others say. Even at high amounts (for me), the few hundred dollars is hardly worth it. I hate holding cash for months and months, and look longingly at PONDX and PDI (which I can trade in a commissionfree account at ML), but usually decide to l…
PT, very very good points. Diplomats are so wise sometimes. My Japan-born father and his parents (missionaries) would certainly have concurred in your takes even before they joined the Navy and Marines to defeat their former countrymen.
Don't star…
An interesting guy in many respects, but wrong about federal debt, and a chaired economist no less:

Just google and you instantly see that they never make calls like that, or any.
Your calling them via a number received on what is clearly an IRS letter, that's different.

What are the specific arguments for farmland? Not just more mouths to feed. I have Kansan friends who have talked for years about farm abandonment and the like.
>> As the old adage goes: Your tax dollars at work!
Well, read the NYT piece
I would not worry about having info w the credit agencies. You want that, believe me, so you can check and review it.
