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.

Wow.
Well, yeah, in 10y, after prez Pence has been shot and his libtard shooter publicly flayed, Roe v Wade overturned, the seas up 2', mass inequality protests suppressed, ' it's ' accepted as a variant along w/ her's and your's and our's, right,…

@Ted,
Wait, what ? Who is promoting what, and to what end? Did you read the article? Maybe I need to read it again and see what corrupt aspect I missed. Pls help out and explain your comment.
@Sven ---

Are there not always penalties for trading a fund so frequently? I thought I had never seen that not be the case.
And of course you can get automatic sector churning, of a sort and so to speak, in the DSE_X funds.
Haha, there is no need to, they are already well on their way, and, regardless, are savvier than you based on your contentless generalizations thus far, without any question.
I do recognize the snot you have attempted; it suits all the unfair negat…
Weak and disappointing. Step it up. You're babbling, millennial; please don't give your cohort any worse a name by not engaging substantively in this forum. Take your attempted gibes and personal issues elsewhere, okay? Some of us have smart(er) and…
@JoJo26,
Who's making up numbers? Make your substantive detailed logical argument.
Or not. It is always fun to simply cry debt, debt, or unsustainable this or that. Of course now no one in the GOP is listening to any of that. Defense budgets bigg…
@msf, I don't like opinion pieces without data, any of them, and try not to post such. I will dig around to see if Delong or PK or others have dived into re >2030 discrepancies, since your CBO graph is from >10mo ago. Seems likely things have …
@Derf
You need to study up, too. It all depends, man. It all depends on what we add. And whether we pay. No one with the power wants to do it right.
Debt is not bad till high as a percentage of GDP, but yeah, it is getting there, and this latest c…
haha, just data and analysis here. Somehow I sense you did not study them.
Is automatically charging confirmation bias the new counter?
My God, we can afford all sorts of things, easily. But sure, the new proposals are wack.
You need to read up, I'd suggest. Except for the third, these are somewhat changed in the context of newly irresponsible budget proposals, but the analyses and thinking behind them might be helpful:

Haha, roll back the New Deal. I imagine you have no memory of what elderly life was like before SS (I don't), but I wonder if you have memories of what healthcare life was like before Medicare and Medicaid (that I do).

For sure civil forfeiture is incredible, an unbelievably bad thing, though does not seem to me to quite fit what you are or were talking about. But I shoulda thought of it, thanks.

MFO is getting way too political. smh
Tax cuts and 401k cap discussion (and all else, from warming to healthcare) are invariably political and sure have personal-finance consequences. You can always skip.
