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.
@Sven,
Where do you get ~2% for mm? not disputing, just curious.
Yes, DLEUX has been most disappointing. I will bail at first breakeven, I think.
I am reconsidering PRBLX.

I am adding to DSEEX (small amounts) every chance I get, dip or no dip, as I compared newish etfs like VALQ, QARP, QLC, QDEF, others, with CAPE, which I do with every new LCV (or even tangentially related) idea, saw no advantage, and figured why not…
Come on, political discussion w/ citations here often has financial ramifications. I would suggest closing discussions only when emptied or unduly (solely) rude and personal.
rasmussen is crap

Even for a basic human right I guess I have no problem with age basically, crudely, taken into account, with broad groupings, caps, and so on. Something like how it is now, very roughly.
Not exactly sure why I think this, but I'm hardly alone. I al…
@larryB, your son's response is the right one, and one that many people share tonight, I sense. I hope he is not literally on fire. How does feel about the bogus Bush runups to Mideast invasions? (not trolling, would like to know his thinking.) But …

>> Shouldn't the rates be age- (health-) independent?
I took the first part of this to be rhetorical, not serious; apologies if you are truly making some quasi-libertarian (?) free-market (or whatever it is) argument here.
No, my answ…

Age-variant health insurance pricing seems fairer to people than health-variant insurance pricing, since aging happens to all. But you know that, I bet, so not sure why your rhetorical question.
Of course there is so much squawk about taking care o…
I usually am one who nags others to pony up and subscribe, so am not sympathetic as a rule to my own plight, even as I just let me print $ sub lapse a month ago.

Emphasis on not.
I think VF meant what he wrote (rereading what he posted I am positive), and you're off-base, badly reaching without any cause to find it a slur other than the usual derogatory meaning. And bringing up money-lending, wow.

The NYTimes of 1874 had a writeup of a suit based on a courthouse lawyer's being called one, nothing mentioned other than derogatory meaning, a la ambulance-chaser. The Times today permits its regular use and not even law-related --- simply unscrupu…
You who have been in health crises probably unlike any of us seem prone to have been a fan of ACA. So what is going on?

Well, the very worst frat boys on the very meanest panty raid never wind up harming and endangering (and in Putin's case approving the murders of) millions of others.
Ha, true; this wannabe slacker (not really, but aspiring) had his UAW (AFL-CIO) card and everything. Truck factory. I am impressed my father did what he did, including filling out the forms (usually typewriter), not just investing in the first place…
