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.
But with massive skills and resources for massive, massive grifting:

yeah, confusion over MC Supp vs Advantage.
My wife has had the $0-premium Tufts MC Advantage plan for a few years, since she's a low-utilization customer. But this year she had a knee replacement and some other things, lots of PT, specialist OVs, …
goes to grad school, or to others
the thing to keep in mind is to invest the money as aggressively as the plan will allow, since we are talking about well over a decade hence for need
Bear Martin Feldstein has another recession is a-comin' in the WSJ yesterday, I think, this time, or again, based on rising interest rates, I believe.

Most everyone who takes stats for dummies at some point hears the phrase 'discard the highest and the lowest data and then take the average'; there should be a glib version of that for discarding only the highest tail. I guess it would just be calle…
yes, always and only look for the delta b/w initial client invested amount and client current total value
some brokerages really have this confusingly, I think
Gold writes that the 'tables below tell the story'. but in fact it is ONLY for the 10y period where RSP outperforms. That first year appears to have counted for a whole lot, in other words.
If you compare RSP with SP500 for 9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1y, it …
Yeah; I was (am always) looking for alternatives to CAPE, which outdoes them all but is unavailable at one of my brokerages. All similar more or less but real (non-huge) differences in performance.
Wait, when I have mused recently on XRLV, and MMTM and QUAL (I think, having found them better performers than NOBL and SCHD), did you, Ted, not vehemently say to just stick w SP500?
If you like black versions (= peatier) you will not like Ballantine. Cutty and JB similarly have no peat, though.
I was speaking of Dewar White.
Famous Grouse is wonderful. You might like FG Black and should consider.
But these are not the pri…
Other than that, Mrs Lincoln.

Sure, I use it all the time. It helps me think about RMD overage wrt taxes and how much to consider augmenting from Roth.
Yes, it will return somewhat different results for the same inputs.

@hank, yeah, I do not buy anything in that price range, or even close. I was thinking of those who compare Smuggler w/ Duggan (both somewhat complex) w/ lighter (Cutty, Ballantine on sale), etc. Don't know any of those consumer types other than myse…
What Ben says.
I find many of the links highly valuable, and also read that some of what I post is similarly useful to others.
dunghill, huh.
We would all wish for better judgment in others.
see if this helps anyone

>> I'm still curious though, what your objective was in searching for an intra-day trading fund in the first place. Now that your target is in sight (you know where to look), you appear to have given up the quest, i.e. you haven't posted…
