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.
Thank you, all, for the kindness and warmth.
Yes, the last year and two the DL bond sauce has not helped, has done the opposite, slightly. (It was DavidS who brought it to our attention, as so often!) But it is the severity of this recent bond plun…
Thank you; most kind.

Complete coincidence that we both trained to be academics and teachers, argued about history of ideas (and politics) 50+ years ago, and were teach…
The old $10k-growth quote graphing from M*, which is not up to date tonight yet for many of these, shows that since 2/21 CAPE is right in the middle of, well, not its peers, but other ones I follow and think 'I should have done instead' ... NOBL, OU…

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,
unlike those down a half-mil in retirement
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…
