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.
yes, you can always graph it against CAPE and what the bond sauce has provided --- nothing for some time, to the contrary
brutal, brutal time, even if, as everyone points out now, you went heavily into bond funds of all types for safety and near-fu…
@Crash,
Ray Gun's damage, which was hardly new, was ginormous and has been sooo longlasting
@parsig9,
Thoughtful reflective response seriously appreciated
State license does not make the business better or guarantee competence. It's just a way to misuse capital. There are plenty of terrible professionals and firms that are licensed.
I really do not understand such resentment of ability and its natu…
One of the bigger orchestras in the country is having a small internal 'discussion' b/w their financial people and their counsel over whether to have the default for canceled tickets be donation or refund; the former favors the former, the latter in…
In the end, I'm an equal opportunity cynic when it comes to politicians. I really don't think DEMs in their own way are much more pure than REPs; or vice versa.
oh, they are, they are, by a country mile
best of all, you could post about it here, like those who got out end Feb (or whatever) and went to cash etc etc etc,

I agree with @Old_Joe. @JohnN I have asked you this before. Will you please read the articles and really consider how valuable they are before you post them. You are cluterring up the board with some really bad articles. Some are.also good but…
I've been working on tracking down funds in the SEC pipeline (the Hypergrowth or Falling Knives ETFs, anybody?) and came across Terra Firma US Concentrated Realty Equity. Apparently it used to be some other fund, or funds, or portfolios. Despite nam…
LB, in all of your wise words of perspective and context and historical awareness, I do feel that you have insulted Bart
this dude is rather more like Dolph or Jimbo
@msf April 15, May 15, June 15, July 15. Wonder why you think this is not delayed by 90 days given each month in the middle has 30-31 days
Regardless my confusion is whether I can wait till July 15 to send check or I can wait till July 15 to FILE …
yes, exactly, this wanting to buy more QQQ on cheap margin to get rich later is quite like swigging on a pint of something or other
pacing myself, ayup
Yep, I'll give you that one. Which now leaves us with a ratio of a bit more than 16,000 to 1, according to the last count.
Not only that, but '52man pretends not to know the difference b/w making a mistake during evolving policy (and moreover acknow…
last 11 days down ~12%, SP500 down ~10%, bond sauce aggravating things rather than the opposite
But oh, those monthly dividends just keep adding more shares.
All my figs are from M* graph of $10k growth, so includes divs, not that it is computed d…
Note, though, that in this crisis, fwiw, since say 11 days ago, all are down, nontrivially, BSV least of all.
FDRXX / SPRXX up a hair.
So you pays your moneys etc.
davidrmoran You're right. ICSH JPST also lost money. TRBUX was up slightly and BSV was up 1.41% ytd.
Yeah. As of tonight, BSV is up $173 ytd on $10k, AGG $233, BND $217, BOND only $79, with GSY, MINT, TIP all down b/w $10 and $73.
(Forget PONAX an…
