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.
Except for the last few days, VOOG has outperformed MOAT, going way back, so why not VOOG instead? (>5x as many holdings, fwiw.) That's what I'm replacing DSEEX with, along w CAPE.
If you are comfortable w the possibility of a smidgen of loss you can buy SHY and SHV and ML (or elsewhere w free trading), and do better than MINT and GSY depending on time period.
Well, most points taken, though they are not remotely an aggregator of news sources, just a beauty contest in other guise.
And still lazy and dangerously simpleminded --- 'think of our bias ratings as points of view' is not only useless but pernici…

Vintage,
Although certainly not in all cases, I find davidmoran's attitude rather typical of liberals - they simply cannot understand the fact that not everyone thinks the same as they do! Why is it so hard for them? They are the self proclaimed "…
Believe me, offending you is not the point, never has been,
nor is showing superiority, nor intimidation, nor winning.
Indeed I say these charges of yours are as unfair, wrong, and wack as your media takes.

@VF,
How you see it is crap and I bet you secretly know it in your heart. You are way too smart and considered to believe this. Not one word you say is accurate except for the shaming part, so maybe that's it.

no precisely sure what you mean, but AOR (and its ilk in different proportions) is over a third foreign:

Oliver has always seemed sketchy, sure, at least to some, but your good research and description have nothing to do with this kind of destructive assertion:

@VF

Yeah, it's a tough time, and I think going to get tougher, more than is being priced in now.
Since Feb 23, AOK and VWINX are about even, with the former showing bigger dip / recovery. Down over 5%, but only that. Praise the Lord.

Harvard said a day ago it would not do this, and returned the $8.6M then.
Devos's language about 'primarily serving low-income students' would apply to an awful lot of other schools, although most of them, including Harvard, go to great lengths to…
@davidmoran OMG. Then surely, you understand. OMG.

I try and learn with every step. It is utterly fascinating (Tuck, LEK, now McKinsey), but as a tech writer I am fascinated by any number of arcane wack things.
@FD1000

So wack. When you write bunk like this which is instantly disprovable, I get nervous reading all of your other seemingly experien…
In big markets the networks do own their own stations, fwiw.
And Hannity is on Fox News.

Yes, I should have responded to your OP.
I was skeptical, and not only because Fox was touting it. There is smelly history:

@davfor,
Do you think now that HRC overstated things, in hindsight, 4y on? She said 'half'. Do you find it condescending and disconnected now? Do you know anyone like what she was describing? I did not really think, given her qualifiers, that she …
@sma3,
Do you think / know whether ongoing studies will be affected by mid-treatment changes in clinical practice of ventilation and treatment indications (changed oxygen threshold, length of time, levels of pressure, etc.)?
