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.
looking at AOK and AOM again, just for ease; match or surpass VWINX for the last year (only)
wondering what I will do though if the market never drops :)

Yeah, there is no proper false equivalence between the parties, even rightwingnuts secretly know this. The GOP has gone to extremism, gladly, for some time now. The Democratic Party not even remotely. As @Ben and others say.

@sma3 ... Skill at money management doesn't mean logic in politics. There is a significant population of libertarian money managers who are so deluded they believe that without any government we'd have some sort of free market utopia. They credit no…
stop watching carlson, I suggest
you need to get a sense of proportion and proportions
not fantasizing about looter apocalypse
do you stay up nights worrying about the reality of white terrorism ? you should.
sure hope people watched rms tonight w strzok
sobering stuff, guest so good, smart and knowledgeable and measured

you have not studied the policy sentiment polls, the party sentiment polls, the position sentiment polls

You have black friends who support and are going to vote for Trump? and think he is doing a 'good job overall'?
A major pity you say you could vote for a solid Dem but are not going to do so ... because ... policies?
Having Jewish relations / relationships / relatives / friends has about zilch to do w being antisemitic, or not. Trump is a known and acknowledged bigot on any number of fronts.
acetaminophen + any nsaid do make a fine analgesic combo, but nothing like an opiate for most people postop or otherwise; and no one can easily off themselves with either alone or in combo, although if you take a ton of the former and drink a lot of…

>> do not think that you can really change anyone's mind nowadays.
Mine still gets changed pretty often by things I read. Policy perhaps especially. I guess that might sound pious, but I bet I'm not alone.
