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.

Actually, it's a very good idea, growth-promoting bigtime.
It would:

Gah, poor and idealistic advice most of this. Divide evenly among Invesco, Davis, Calvert, Oppen, Pioneer, Dreyfus, and that internatl thing. No more, no less. Put in as much as you feasibly can, get the max match, call it a day, do not check other …
Wow, how awful and frustrating. It is exactly this, down to the details including printout and mail-in, that I remember vividly from when I switched from TC (HRB) to TT maybe six years ago. Congrats on your persistence.
His head is frozen, yes. TW could hit, obvs, but his stats have been properly and sophisticatedly analyzed to death, by SJ Gould before Maubossin. He would be a great hitter now but could not hit .400.
OJ et alia, Krugman has a few interesting posts on this recently, some counterintuitive, some not, all fascinating if you're in a wonkish mood; just google krugman blog and you probably can get to them unpaywalled.

I do.

Actually, the forecast was reasonably accurate for outside Boston, not quite the wind levels widely, and no, most of us, in Mass. anyway, do not think of mandated and enforced prudence as gov overreach. Partly this is because there are just as many …

Hennessy Focus = same tenure issue as Great Owls: show 15y performance but management changed 6y ago. V good performance since, with new guys, better than FLPSX because so few foreign holdings. Still, most of the 15y performance was under famous Cha…
Not clear to me what you mean by 'not download'; there is online version and there is CD/download, or so I believe, as in the past.

A nice contrast between the Huang analysis/quote and the Ellis quote, as the latter does not appear to understand the proposal. It effectively applies to high earners chiefly; existing moneys are unaffected; it will be a beneficiary tax only, not on…

My experience is this is another area for active management, not indexing. Fido has some excellent sc funds. Discovery and one or two others. I myself favor, in addition, GABSX and WEMMX. Gabelli would probably be the chief person to call himself br…
