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.
ha, thanks; just try to plan ahead. Want finances to go easily. Have been to a lot of funerals recently, good friends for whom the end came rather suddenly. I imagine this is not news to you. Paying a pro to sort through boxes of files in the baseme…

It's a single retirement account (with two funds in it) and I did not want to break it up. I don't know what I …
Where is the blatant racism? Lots of competing interests, social, educational, and other. Whose interest is served by filling an open school 100% with 'worthy' Jewish kids? Or Asian kids? Or indeed Catholic kids?
@Sven, ML likewise pays for asset moves, although the bonus entails many months; payments may be slightly higher than Fido iirc (I just did it, while leaving enough to be Fido Priv Client except that means using an adviser, so far as I can tell, wtf…
What's jarring? Assuming this is what you meant:

@Maurice,
Do see if you can find subtler coverage than some NYPost brief rehash.

I don't believe, I know. Follow the data, read the (huge, venerable) studies, talk to your cardio.
Or not.

You're right it is pointless. As pointless as you guys ever admitting to any fatal flaw for any Government run program.
Good grief, what is wrong with you and your brain, to swing the broad brush? 'You guys'? Who here (or anywhere) ever said anyt…

that too is very good --- in many ways much more important too!
your writing and thinking are a prime example of how to hone the brain without formal higher ed, I must say, not news to you, I'm sure.
Politifact fake news? omg, try harder.

Oh, they listen and hear you, regardless; you're smart enough to get that, I bet, irrespective of SATs.

Not sure what my thinking was, always such a hazard here, just speculating idly; should have said further underperformance will be clearer, shouldn't I have?
Fascinating.
Danoff is around 58 and Tillinghast just turned 60. I wonder if 10-15y from now underperformance of their funds will have obtained and be clear. The article possibly nods toward the well-known Yacktman / Heebner path, like having your …
Graph all of their $10k growth ytd to get a vivid sense of performance vs duration. Also how active management proves useful (I compared w/ PONAX, DODIX, FSICX, also TIP). We should all be in HYG since New Year's, or, better, FAGIX.
Trades can be a great choice, but "They’d rather be doing something else, like making money or painting murals" is completely idealistic in its own way; the data show that again and again. Voke and community college education is key, but for every H…
