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.
Right, but why when it widens, which to me meant (maybe I am misunderstanding) premium getting higher and higher, does that make it more attractive to buy?
Oi, I see I should have written not only BO's vision, thought that was clear.
You are writing about crow and foot and mouth, so I guess you did not read that Snopes link. So extremely droll. Nationalism and nativism often are.
Oh, no! You too?

@Maurice, it's not "Obama's vision", for heaven's sake. Are you really someone who must just trace it all to that guy? You sound smart sometimes, like someone who realizes trends about the way the world has developed and is developing. But not here.…
Jeez, you have to keep rereading the conversation if you really think DT understands the issues "very well". Even a DT fan can see that.
Not sure why you think I advocate open borders, but slinging charges seems about right as an automatic style. …
haha, so grandiose.
Which link of mine? You are seriously defending the Trump "conversation" with Turnbull? Where DT simply cannot grasp it? I cannot tell if you actually understand what Australia has done, and why, but then you do cite the eccentr…
Not at all --- sorry, yes, 70, ~25% of total retirement (if you leave out SS as bond equivalent). Actually some of that is cash, so a little less than a quarter.
@bartab the dry:
So weak. I was afraid you would have nothing substantial. And even if you get it all from Fox and Kellyanne, you know who else "believes" (what a fine verb that will turnout to be) the "Russian story."
See, that's the real problem, this fake false-equivalency thing. But her emails. Please. There's no chatting with people running up their bar tab. So secede already, please.
To an extent, but I actually do not see that as the chief problem, given what passes for "conservative" policy thinking today. Elected reps and appointed heads who do not understand what insurance is and how it works, who do not understand diplomacy…
@BobC, as a born buckeye I am disparaging neither Midwesterners nor all Midwestern guvs. But you knew that. I feel saved by the investigative media (print); where would we be the last 20 years without them? Pence is as benighted as a guv can be thes…
Not quite following your point but sense your defensiveness. Not luck and not lucky.
Just go exploring at Total and/or Costco and you'll see. TJ is fine and d'Alba etc and others from Sicily and southern Italy can be similarly fine, sure. Have not …
@OJ,
Costco, Total, and the occasional lucky twofer bin in the front of your local packy have good reds, sometimes, Costco often, for well under $15 and often under $10.
Hard to find, takes some taste-testing, suffering duds.
But for everyday we …
In trench politics, some people, maybe more than some, really do have towering intellects, and of the genuinely usable sort.

There again seems some sense in what you write, here on middle paths, and I am curious that no one else analyzes the situation as you do (that I know of).
I wonder why. I hope you can collect and cook your last half-dozen HC posts and submit them s…
