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.
what happens is that, with good luck, we grow our way out of it
this has been rehashed again and again recently, but the guy has not kept up, clearly
it is nothing like a household, involving moneys we owe ourselves chiefly, my spending is your i…
Obama was the worse president of my lifetime

I follow an average of the many articles talking about 2-4y in cash or close (have erred here by being too aggressive), the rest in whatever proportion of stock and bond funds I think is wisest

To quote Wall Street, it's a dog with fleas. For 3 years, I only seen it lose money. Time to lick the wounds on PIMIX.

@davidmoran / @sven -- shouldn't that be priced in and hedged already?
yeah, if you believe the old adage that the market never reacts to known news, or whatever the quip is
we will see

@FD1k
wait, you did the OP and now want someone else to do the work for you?
(you do not know where the burden falls here, do you?)
as for your general question, "why he was so right and everything Trump does is wrong", there is not enough space…
You did look at what this list comprises, right? Of course you did.
Because it seemed wack to post something like this in a sensible forum like this. What is the point? JN does this kind of thing automatically, like a headline-based bot.

Cannot recall how I heard about RoyW and FAalarm, but was an avid reader by the mid-1990s, which must be about when it started. So almost from the getgo.
duh
why are you posting this, ffs ?

who did that? who does that? what is your point in post…

I guess because of its recent rise, the last few months, though, VFISX outperforms VSBSX nontrivially when looked at over 1-2-3-4-5-6mos and ytd.
(My trivial question would be why VGSH trivially outperforms VSBSX most of the time too.)
This is the smartest thing I have read, esp the proper polling, and I hope the Dems do not fall into it:

yeah, it sure sometimes seems a close call about tech abetting of helpful information and insight and news / policy discussion vs abetting of destructive stupidity and lies and such

@msf,
That is a typical NYT piece of racial analysis, probing, broad-brush, perhaps excessively conclusive, and 98% true, and therefore it is hardly worth qualifying with the observation that for some few families it actually was chiefly about t…
