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.

Oh, another one (@bee): SPY/TLT 50/50 and forget about it.
Why does anyone ever choose SPY over VOO?
For me TLT would be too jumpy for what I want a bond ETF for, but it sure does majorly outperform VGIT, and even BND.
I'm slowly deciding on 55-…
@bee, I was taking his 'other' to mean 'higher', perhaps wrongly, and have been trying to reconcile it with this 3yo interview's other section,
the 4.5% rule is not a law of nature, like Newton’s laws of motion, which will probably never change. …
All,
Please note, and please keep in mind, that FD1k is experiencing serious gloating at all of this destruction in the present, and anticipates even more and more personal joy in the future, at destruction to come.
I see a lot of loathsome, rep…

right, all good advice, except when things have changed for keeps
there are too many controls now (thank goodness), not like back when people thought inflation was an unpredictable natural outcome of something or other, and should be let t…

- most do not want unconventional success
- we will never see 8% inflation again
- why mention bogle's bogus rule when he himself eventually saw its bogosity?
- the whole point of guidelines is to help as things around the corner become clear,…
In my opinion, all businesses should be allowed to OPEN. If people are not comfortable, they will not go. That's end of the story.
ha, if only it worked like that
@Press, totally concur in this view
Less than 100 Thousand people dead out of 340 MILLION. I don't how DT got sucked into it. Now we are rescuing the economy spending TRILLIONS of BORROWED money.
You do know we are mostly borrowing it from ourselves? Huge debt is problematic chiefly w…
man, fwiw, I think this probably is backward --- add to retirement, add to equities, forget yield, do it, as bigtime as you can. How much time lies ahead before retirement?
phyzx 9.4% when the article was written 7.02% yield as of close fri.
That one outperforms FAGIX for all time periods I could see (back to 10y). Is the yield history pretty steady?
Since Feb 23, the start, CAPE has tracked VOO w only slight lag and at close today appears likely to match it, so by my read it is the bond sauce chiefly which has detracted. I too am holding though may go in part directly to CAPE.
>> correlation isn't what you think it is.
for sure that
Yeah, I was comparing $10k growth of SPAXX w those three ETFs for various timespans, and they in combo seemed like a prudent ballast improvement. But maybe not.

Yeah, it is eye-opening indeed to compare SP500 since NY2k with BND and FAGIX. Criminy.
But evidently it's a brutal test and a brutal span, although few thought so holding on through it.
Compare SP500 also with DODBX, OAKBX, and FPACX wow.
Yet …
@Bitzer, it ain't been a plus, obvs, but as someone who also holds PONAX and PDVAX (and MINT and GSY, fer krissake, also VCSH, and PCI and PDI in the recent past), I am not seeing that Gundlach's recent work and decisions are any worse. This even th…
Roger all points; you just seemed focused on moderate and incremental outperformance and added value, and it is impossible to find any period in which VOOG has not outperformed since its inception. I understand about passivity vs various degrees of …
