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.
MJG Coppock comments are interesting. I also went and reread Stack MW articles from earlier this year: no panning-out yet. The '07 Stack paper is prescient and insightful about housing, but the fall '13 article turns out to have been unwarranted in …
I hate reading articles that say to wait patiently with cash for better ops. Sure, sure. when might that be? Or maybe when you finally decide to dive in again, it will all be more expensive.
Go know that the gratefulness goes the other way too, more intensely perhaps, toward your and your colleagues' labors; some of the rest of us grateful recipients of your generosity just loll about and occasionally say 'You missed a spot.'
heezsafe's truly inspired recommendation makes me start thinking explicitly against your focused criteria and recommend in addition some Hayden White (et alia) history of ideas texts that are wonderful but hard to find (maybe try libraries first): T…
@Mark,
I was responding to a post about 'being allowed to know the truth' or some such guff. I myself did not disrespect the OP and did not take anything off-topic, so you may direct your mil and VP-pal cred more appropriately. I was surprised some…
@Mark, where do you get off telling us how everyone thinks? Let me be the second to speak sense to you.

Hiltzik is a very smart reporter.

the modern world, comedy needing to balanced (which that funny table actually was --- odd you would miss that while making some point about it)
Don't think you know what railing means; it is all that MJG does.
Whatever. This just gets more comical.
>> Forcing savings is a statist/socialist "solution" --- to problems created by the state.
Oh, here we go. And more, the problems were created by the state! Good grief and lolz. I bet obesity is in the same category.
>> the Onion economic systems comparison table. It’s too bad that the chart was not accompanied by some text. Context matters.
I am so going to post more Onion stuff, just to get such sober and clueless response. This has been a major hoot …
I am gonna see if the Onion wants to run as humor such wannabe-serious discussion about their sophisticated wit. We need to post this to the great site literallyunbelievable.org.

This is wonderful. You are Onion-level funny.
>> “One lesson of recent events is that sometimes doing everything legally permissible to maximize earnings does not create shareholder value.”
Good Lord, what a thing not to know, and then to say.
Not good:

"How’s this? Growth was artificially fast due to leveraging of econ. Trying to return to that rate thru def spend is futile."

Maybe move some of the two Yackts to PRBLX and DSENX. Also to PONDX and GLRBX, since another year is past and I should be shifting more away from equities.
So he advises 30% equities, maybe a little more, in retirement, and the rest earning 2% except for that 15% in a deferred annuity. So half earning 2%. All righty, then: AOM here we come. Not the strongest article I have read in this area.
