  • Market down a good 4% at noon on Wednesday on news of more outbreaks. Extraordinary Popular Delusion #2,368: just because I wish it to be so doesn't make it necessarily so.
  • "But, but, but, the Fed and a "V" shaped recovery could make the bad things turn invisible, just like magic."

    "Investor enthusiasm is pinned to two ideas. First, are hopes for a "V" shaped recovery in the economy as championed by Morgan Stanley (MS). Second, is a belief that the Federal Reserve has as much magic monetary potion as needed to pump up stocks despite all-time over-valuations.

    .... investors must be very wary of high unemployment. As the unemployed begin to fall behind on bills, they are apt to turn to cashing in their retirement plans, which in turn leads to forced selling of stocks. Economic indicators are flashing red alert danger signals. Investor Will Robinson does not seem to care."

    Choose your poison thoughtfully.

  • Define several. It's gotten upstaged lately.

    Heavy commissions fees definitely drives the brokerage firms
  • Talked with Fidelity and Schwab awhile back and we decided they are not appropriate for our family on many fronts. Have anyone experience with Schwab's robo advisory?
