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.
krugman, smartly argued piece, is not much in alignment w my fussy thinking:

Surprised at the simpleness of so many responses.
What do most midsized businesses do? Spread their money around in quarter-mil chunks and still meet operating expenses and payroll? Honest question --- maybe someone here who has had to business-b…

@LewisBraham
Why did you jump subjects? Local news never did longform journalism of the sort we're discussing, at least not small papers, even in their postwar heyday (to the 1990s or a bit before). Newsday maybe, if we call that 'local'.

I would say you are right, David, if you insert the word “online” between “long form” and “journalism.” The opposite is the case in print journalism.
Hmm. I dunno. I read the New Yorker and NYRBooks in paper form, and I expect that if I took the Atl…

@sma - this is supposedly a free link
So far as I can tell it, it in fact is.
One thing to know is that when you get instant ‘Subscribe here / subscribe now’ popups or similar , just click x and close them; I had more than one, but when I got rid …
yeah, the FHA thing is really something to contemplate now

Yeah.
I grew up in a Leave It to Beaver family (not really) and city in SW Ohio starting 76y ago, middle-class if not upper-middle-class, but thank goodness had liberally educated, progressive, allocentric parents who knew what freedom is for and…
Oh, in a profit world, all powers-that-be are okay with almost all bad behaviors.
Over time and in the larger picture, shiny cancerous buckeye creeks and farmland will recede, same as images of the torn-apart bodies of bloodsoaked second-graders …
I meant not next step but more generally, what is to be concluded and actionable, now that we know, from your labors.

@MikeM, I don't know and can't easily uncover what the heck happened w CAPE as of 4/22, but I am sure someone here knows. DSEEX has still outperformed FXAIX for 9.5y and also ytd :) --- but not, as others would, or will, instantly point out, for va…

Over the long term they do slightly better than FXAIX
Do they do any better, or are you just looking relative to a particular moment in time (i.e. now)? Comparing their three year rolling cumulative returns by calendar years (e.g. Jan 2019-Dec 2…
What do the smart kids here, if at Fido, do with their MM holding? I am in FDRXX, which is just under 4% (hope I am reading this right), and see options of SPAXX and some bank sweep. Thoughts?

I won't speculate what he knows or reads, but economic data at the macro level are at about the same difficulty as baseball, imo, which he is a fan of. I am utterly charmed at the fancy that this 'board' soaks up progtard or similar stuff.
