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.
Correct, why I specified Park Slope, and not Cincinnati but more my hometown of Springfield's 45506, which ain't at all like 45226.
That visual dataset is fascinating, and the promo prose makes US life look not so bad almost anywhere.
I could be wrong about this, must run it down when child returns from travel on Sunday, but it appears that the first-time-homebuyer taxfree IRA withdrawal (contribs of course, plus gain up to $10k) is NOT carried forward from fed to Mass. state cor…
@Maurice, at the risk of its being so boring you would never look at the investment again, check out the holding breadth and proportions of the AO_ family --- AOA, AOR, AOM, AOK.
Deeper contexts for comparative advantage ramifications and negations, in the context of the present state of play, from Larry Summers in FT. Also how the dopiness and ignorance by current admin make it all muddier.

Right; this text of yours could be lifted from (or used for) a promo for the somewhat unloved TWEIX, which did not observe the 'oppositeness' of the conditions either time (unlike, say, VIVAX). Davidson has been nominated for lots of awards, I see. …
Thanks. I guess some might argue that auto-churn to lower valuation holdings is the specific defensive design, kind of by definition. Point taken about value premium. And right, it is not risk-averse as commonly understood. (Are the many long-lived-…
So you are thinking CAPE's very low UI, same as SPLV, is misleading ?
I remember this Britt article well, written one year in. Hard for me to tell, then or now, whether it is really saying anything substantial. (I am very surprised you cite it as …

Can't find readily appealing reasons for me to own ... except to note that from 1/28 to 2/8 VT had this whopping drop but IQDAX had a big and so-far lasting jump. Wonder what accounts for that.

Cool summary, tnx; am using Fido, Amex Blue, and Costco Visa, depending on what's being bought, but am now gonna dive into studying details above. We don't travel much (old dog) but will eventually, and sure do spend a lot at Costco.
in case this was not obvious enough, some nice quantification

Never used my BoA credit cards, not good enough. Is one not then dealing with a cc company, no longer BoA, really?

There are some things you can do better in person and some not, since the personnel have no power and no greater access or make-it-happen than someone on the phone.
Fidelity is pretty clear about this both on the phone and in person.

@Hank,
Such defensiveness about timing, and trying to make it personal. Not my 'problem', just curious about any good reasons why smart people here do it.
I mean, own it, and you do. 'Because I say so' can be a good reason, for some.
