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.

The OP spoke of an 18yo and "ways to mitigate that [7y hole based on GMO predictions] risk."

@LLJB, many would point out that there is no such thing --- simply put the teen broadly and cheaply into equities and leave it alone for decades
but are you implying the child will be needing it soon, like within a decade?

So what? Is that really a good argument against emergency disaster relief?
And please do not bothsides this. McConnell and his party are the only ones causing suffering and death here.
"Clean" WHERE? This usually means solar power, and while a laudable idea, you have to have large tracts of surface available, good weather most of the time, and you need to manufacture the stuff (polluting THERE) in order to build the panels. This…
