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.
It would be amazing if someone so successful and so sharing of that success triggered the first censorship of known lies on MFO, as policies were enforced a la Twitter and Facebook, both of which have blocked the NYPost charge
Retirement pleasures put to the side, I would love now to be working, remotely, at any of the editing / writing jobs of my last decades, but would hate to be suddenly downsized and looking; been that and done there, for long anxious years, and now w…
@FD1k,
Apologies; I thought it was you who said long ago you did all your rapid trading of mfunds without penalty via special treatment.
Not seeing that anything I said is trash. Good for being multimillionaire; me too.
Disgusting swamp goo.
I agree. I wasn't in that meeting but I sold most of my portfolio(all bond funds) at the end of 02/2020 documented (here).
But, the following (link) is also a disgusting swamp goo and we can call it Joe Quid pro quo.
You o…
well, plus all the philanthropy and cause support
plus a byline somewhere advising others about bonds and his rapid fund trading without penalty
like the poster (sorry to draw a blank) who is now making a living selling puts, or whatever it is
For some reason I take most here at face value and assume good faith, but it is true that FD1k should be a multimillionaire, philanthropist, and posting regularly for seekingalpha or similar.
it is never 'paid off', just grown out of, with luck and such
this has been covered
what chiefly matters, though surely there is a bad tipping point possible, everyone agrees, is what the debt is invested in: infrastructure, disaster relief, HC…

My key point: Trump is the first president since 1998 to increase the median income significantly but I can't find it in the Lib media.

Let's say you have a $100,000 portfolio. On a given trading day, the numbers show an increase in value of $500. Within that portfolio is a small position in a stock that blew up and shows a 20% ($1,000) decline for the day.
Are you generally satisfi…
My point is to show that a typical investor doesn't need to worry about yield and just invest longer term mostly in indexes such as SPY/VTI and if you want more tech you can use QQQ.
I don't see any advantage looking for higher yield stocks as it …
This partly speaks to that and would seem to entail EM effects:

Yes, I believe you should. Not everyone else.
You could safely assume no one seriously proposes HR should track employees in that regard.

Nothing was stipulated about how long they turned it down. As a retired parent w adult children (who are savers) I just have a thing about passing up free money when young.
