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.
that charge goes back 60y if not more

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.

And show how its nonfinancial importance has grown! DS, CB et alia, take it public!
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…

Comments too, some of them.
No matter how you feel about Trump, he's getting things done. I believe part of how he's being treated is a message to other outsiders who may be thinking of following his footsteps. Is he perfect, of course not, but his motives are understandable, …
so maybe next time don't post automatically cynical crap ???

@bartab, you make >$175k and "have a tough time," and do you tell your two kids

Stay on substance, stay on substance. WSJ to boot. And Max Boot to boot.
Some people change their minds in the face of evidence, I know from experience.
@MJG,
A false counter.
And as for overglorification and valorization, you have not been to a sporting event recently, sounds like.
No one is arguing about relatives who showed courage and dutifulness during wartime.
Today Trump praised the world's worst dictator and promised to stop military exercises with South Korea, in exchange for nothing. Reports indicate that both the South Koreans and Dept of Defense were caught completely offguard by this. Who told him …
What do the 'angry arguments' have to do with taking MFO seriously? You ever used MFO Premium? Just stick to the financial discussions if you don't want to read about policy that is related, but not directly, to personal finance.
