"We usually stay fully invested, except for those Black Swan periods, where we may go totally to cash and wait for good re-entry opportunities."
Serious question - Do you anticipate these Black Swan periods in advance or do you sell after the initi…
It is getting a little nuts out there. Yesterday I was at the lumber yard and saw a 2x4x8' wall stud for roughly $9. A preservative treated piece of the same dimensions was $12 and change. Good thing I have a good supply of both in my garage.
Don't make it harder than it has to be. We all have different needs, goals and objectives. Do what makes you feel comfortable and able to SWAN. Even stating a certain percentage is wonky depending on the level of available assets to liabilities one …
I have to do the winning part first in order to do the losing big thing. Anyway my losses will be measured in the $100's and most certainly not in the billions. If I had a million I'd just quit the game.
I don't believe that we will be seeing herd immunity anytime soon if at all. The linked article from the NY Times illustrates many of the issues/problems. I fail to understand.

Quoting Lewis: "But for practical purposes I have rarely heard funds state they are returning capital to save the end investor on their taxes because the fund is just doing so well."
Me either, and no one said they did. I did say that it's a tacti…
"Mostly, I think return of capital is a means to deceive investors, although purchased at a discount it has a value."
Talk about unrealistic and a stretch, it's quite common especially for CEF's with a managed distribution policy. It certainly isn'…
The lack of interest here has me wondering. See, banks allow hedge funds to spend billions of dollars they don't have (margin) leading to extraordinary market volatility when the fund fails to make up it's losses. Meanwhile they all bunch up their p…
NAV does not always decline from ROC payments And not all ROC payments are bad depending on the source of that capital.

I think it's riskier to continue polluting our planet the way we do. I also find it abhorrent and riskier that this country does not do more to provide healthcare to those who can't afford it. I'll gladly pay more for both rather than see us continu…
@Andy - Although those two issues, foreign investments & currencies, are always and issue I believe most of the volatility is a matter of energy source i.e. alternative v. fossil fuels (notice the spike after the presidential election).

You could try entering the ticker symbol for the ETF but my guess is that you won't find it (fwiw Fidelity doesn't offer it).
GREAT!!! Watch as Faux pulls the Sydney Powell defense out of their collective asses. Money and viewership losses are the only thing those idiots understand.

You wouldn't know it by the deluge of furniture ads Costco puts out BUT that doesn't mean the items are readily available. I'm not in the market for furniture so I guess that I'm not much help.
POAGX fell 35.34% and currently is up 26.13% over it's March 2020 high.

Not sure if they qualify as steady eddys but it works for me.
I’m of the opinion that these ‘private’ investments have been going on for a longer time than we think. If anyone really scrounges through their funds holdings there’s often many questionable listings, ‘others’ if you will, that take a lot of effort…
@Sven - I hope that you forgive me for taking your thread topic slightly off course but I thought that the French version of the Fauci ouchie might lighten things up a bit. These are friends of mine RV'ing in Europe. Enjoy.

@Mav123 - adding to @catch22's response I do invest in my own collection of a dividend 'growth' portfolio. It's composed primarily of dividend champions and aristocrats. I built it primarily for the income AND of stocks that I felt I would be comfor…
