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.
oi!
Yeah, I see I spoke too soon, since it is not avail at ML and is TF @ Fido, so there. Sorry.
Now have to research volatility of PFF and FPE and AOK and others and see if I could live with them. Also MUB, MUNI, then BND and BOND.
With the bull ongoing, am thinking of selling a little even in roth accounts and letting it sit as cash, or in, like, GABCX. Have gone above yet another 'total investments' line, feel I should conserve. Hmm, what to do.
Nah. The data show that the benefits to all American workers are overwhelmingly high (much of it low prices). But it also is clearer than ever that the harms are quite a bit above zero. This was known and acknowledged, but not widely enough, and the…
also tnx
"Many investors cannot stomach the volatility. If that is the case, they shouldn't be invested in closed-end funds in the first place. However, this low-yield environment and equity market valuations have forced investors out on the risk s…
Clearly an impostor, since not one lesson conveyed through any of his prophets, not a single one, and not one image of his children, only of his natural glory. Wow.

The past-facing nostalgic Sasse feels and thinks and espouses all the right decent values, without question, but he's a weakling and wimp thus far politically, master of false equivalence re the candidates, factually wrong praising us supposedly mor…

Can't find the post where someone interestingly pointed out what happens w/ DSEEX / DSENX when US LCV persistently lags (a bit), but graphs are here (I added div etfs for the heck of it):

@msf,
An opinionated 'analysis' that probably does not pass your deep-dive criteria, but Krugman today tweeted (following Johnston's approach) 'An estimated 30 trucking businesses paid *any* estate tax last year. Using same method, I get 10 (ten) f…

You're so welcome.
Yeah, Leonhardt is sometimes really good at synthesis.

Yeah, I subsequently found some of that info, tnx, pretty much identical to the other way, into ML. I shoulda done more but wanted to keep a big slug in Fido. Maybe in 10 months I will do the reverse and see if I can hit $2500, depending on how the …
@msf,

have not seen such; they have had?
All the $50 xfer fees were reimbursed by ML. Our 'benefit' total will be $1150 all told, plus the zero commissions thing for all ML trading, although…
Uh, it's an analysis (not really an editorial) of how completely fraudulent his grifter outreach to miners and truckers is. With data!
I figure most here know by now how to launch a private / incognito browser session to get around many paywalls.
I just earned a thou from ML for transferring three retirement accounts from Fido, leaving one. The downside is unavailability of some funds, of course, but they did transfer ones they do not 'carry'.
I asked Fido beforehand about retention / stay …
