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.
Captain Crozier failed the test and responsibility to complete his mission. If he cant do it in peacetime what would he do in war. Better to get him out now!!!
How so? Is it possible that you too do not know the story details?

Details of transmission not fully clear; heard some variance from above on MSNBC, I think it was, two ex-Navy analysts.
Fyi, a certain type or types of CV tests have a significant false-neg rate, up to 30%. If you are symptomatic you should presume positive even with such a result. The other types of CV tests are said to be much better, though as with all tests none …
He deserved to be relieved of his duty. Remember, military life is not civilian life, there is a chain of command and it must be adhered to PERIOD. Also, he likely set off undue panic among sailor families. And most importantly, he revealed to the w…
yeah, by definition

like many I have been appalled at the behavior of PONAX and PDVAX, but figured, yeah, well, Pimco, RE and all that
I see that both have lately outperformed FADMX (formerly FSICX), whi…
Fido FullView remains quite sketchy and laggy. Perhaps this has been noted already; I certainly have posted such for many years now. It seemed the last few months to have finally settled down and gotten quicker and actually accurate, but tonight is …

It's more than that, to an extent; if you graph AGG since the first week of March against DODIX, FTBFX, also BOND and BND, you see that only the last comes close to matching it (and for longer periods also, and forget anything Pimco now except maybe…

@DS,
Hmm ... how are they tracking Div Aristocrats back 20y, do they say? Or the others?
VOO (best SP500 I know of) outperforms NOBL (Div Aristocrat) since NOBL inception, ~6.5y ago, and CAPE trounces both (also trouncing DVY and SDY), so it wou…

I (like everyone else on Earth) never know how much the market overdiscounts in advance. Meaning the news today is bad, bad, bad, really bad, virus and economy alike ... meaning the wave has not reached the shore and indeed many other worse waves at…
As I have said before, trading CAPE is an adventure as there is often a lag between what the market is doing and a big gap between the bid and the ask prices. Trading volumes are usually low. With no commissions, it's now possible to buy small posit…
Depends on how you feel about Gundlach, who is a serious putz in many many ways, and his bond-saucing skills, which are ... sketchy? solid? real over the haul?
(I realize this simply reposes your already posed question.)
Also depends whether you…
I just looked at CAPE since its inception, 7.5y ago, 10/12, and noted its >10% superiority to SPY. (Even moreso compared w/ the div and low-vol etfs listed above.)
So if you are a long-termer (at 73- I have only so many terms left) I believe yo…
Thank you, all, for the kindness and warmth.
Yes, the last year and two the DL bond sauce has not helped, has done the opposite, slightly. (It was DavidS who brought it to our attention, as so often!) But it is the severity of this recent bond plun…
Thank you; most kind.

The old $10k-growth quote graphing from M*, which is not up to date tonight yet for many of these, shows that since 2/21 CAPE is right in the middle of, well, not its peers, but other ones I follow and think 'I should have done instead' ... NOBL, OU…
