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.
Ever the fake innocent, jeez, ever turning it away from oneself. Oh, did I piss on your leg? Well, why was your leg there? 'My forecast of your reaction was spot on target.' Chicken is not ex-mil behavior.
Gently speaking LB,
Evidence? 'Front line'?? Bush totally ducked to flee to AN Guard and then got booted out of it for noncompliance, while Cheney was yellow by any standard of the time:

>> sure this disclosure will solicit some angry outbursts, likely one from davidrmoran.
Huh?
MJG, you have been told this before by others, about your great presumptions lasting even into your nominally seasoned dotage, but you do not know …
Was anyone talking about you? Oh, oh, wait, are you and MJG the same person ??
(I read that Jeb! thinks BO uses too big words too.)
Now I gotta go back and see where I ever linked to a voluminous pdf. Maybe it was some pertinent economics paper? …

What does that even mean? You are concluding that the closing clause concerning audience and service delivery goal…
I was getting psyched about her poise and smarts until her grotesque, grisly lying and pandering about abortion and her misrepresentation of biz record and career. Phooey! I thought she might offer something real.
I would never pay fund purchase charges at Fido; if I feel really strongly, I will go directly to the parent company (Vanguard e.g.). JABAX used to be NTF at Fido.
Since the Fido guys started, fall 08, it very slightly outdoes VWENX. As does JABAX…
This actually has more detail. MJG can inform us whether it is reportage.

>> title of the work, “Crazy Talk at the Republican Debate”, hints at bias in the piece.
Huh? Hints? You are probably not unaware of what circular reasoning is.
It was an editorial and so identified; nothing dishonest about it. I guess I c…
Part of the reason I am fascinated by MJG's post is that this (NYT) was my takeaway in toto:
They were there freely, armed with the best arguments they and their policy advisers had come up with, to make their cases as seasoned politicians, busines…

It still would be smart at some point to prudently…
LB, I do not how that ratio came to be a standard, perhaps something to do with stability and consistency? Maybe Dex will know the background. I am poking around and learning from these:

Roger, and apologies again. My bad.
It's funny, whether you like the guy or not (personal style etc., although he doesn't rub me the wrong way), all you have to do is read a lot of Krug and you can find out data and examples for all questions.
Meh.
I shoulda begged Dex not to respond, sorry. Lots of examples where it's worked, but one would have to read to keep up, and want to keep up.
Apologies, and yeah, an old and tiresome, oh so tiresome, response. No more PSAs.

That core fund LCORX has sure done well recently, since the new kids took over. And that with lots of cash/bonds. I am not seeing the appeal so much compared with GLRBX and all the others, nor with my goal of 40-40 DSENX and PONDX, b…
If you think you might ever want to trade or time even a little bit (interest rates and reactions thereto), you can get a fine ETF mix going 50-50 AOR and AOM.
Krantz is pretty solid, and I am glad he remains there now that Waggoner is gone.
Yes, SPY is well-superseded for anyone who does reinvestment. SCHD is one favorite, but if I were not retired I would put a ton into RPG and RPV 50-50, which oddly ou…

I just thought it was an interesting column about productivity and monetary base policies, that's all.

Investment costs have nothing to do with this other than their normal role, meaning all calcs are after ERs, at least in my calcs. That was not my question and was not something I missed. I was only making a dig at how once you go down to very very …
Because way sharper and more widely informed than you in this area, that's how. Plus I know what false premises are. But you can have the last word yet again.
