I'm thinking that somewhere in the 10-20% range will have them heading for the hills VOWING never to come back. And that's as good a guess as you'll get from folks who supposedly know what they are talking about. You should already know that I sure …
2 days ago the market soared on strong earnings. Today it fell on weak earnings. I wish the market would make up it's mind. Or maybe it's just the financial reporters who haven't a clue.
In a way it's kind of sad. I remember as a kid that Sear's & Montgomery Wards pretty much ruled the world. Things change and stuff happens. Mostly I feel sorry for the rank and file who will lose their jobs and who knows what else.
Hi John. To be honest, my favorite fund(s) could turn out to be a disaster for you and vice versa. We could be on very different investing paths and each of us could have missed or made the turns toward opportune rewards or usefulness of these inves…
I'm considering giving out those small packets of condiments you get from fast food restaurants and the like. I have a collection. I rarely go there but the millenials that have tromped through here have left plenty.
"The ultimate goal, in other words, is to reset the economic relationship between China and the rest of the world. It may take time and cause pain in the interim."
The pain referenced here will mostly be felt by the vast majority of Americans who a…

@hank - your post is a bit confusing. It seems like you are suggesting that some RMD funds be withdrawn from a Roth account to minimize the tax consequences of other funds withdrawn from traditional IRA's. Is that correct? If so, why would one do th…
And that's precisely the predicament we find ourselves in Ben. What we have is an angry guy with very little to absolutely no sense or intelligence who just wants things his way. Privileged and all like that.
Correct AndyJ.
Subtract out the top 1-2%ers and get back to me. To be clear, SO much wealth is held in that top bracket that any reasonable data crunching will be skewed far out of true reality.
I think my IQ drops 50 points every time I hear/see this dolt. How do people support this guy? He doesn’t talk in complete sentences and what he says is incomprehensible. My eight year old grandson can form complete sentences and make sense.
I believe that both risk tolerance and eventual purpose of the windfall were addressed in the article but only ever so lightly. I'm also unsure of what a MIC is but I'm not going there.
Near as I can tell the three featured funds seem to have the same top-10 holdings only in different order. Easy to see why they might lead the sorted pack when ranked as described above. Sometimes all your cylinders fire together.

Doesn't appear to be your average, everyday investor except by extension (i.e. pension funds, unions).
I agree with all that you said catch. Australia is pretty much a no go as well visa wise. Believe me when I say that I've searched all manner of possibilities to move either there or NZ.
By 'social media' they referenced sites like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter et.al. as I expected. I noted 'no surprise' because even at 'social' gatherings such as dining, concerts, entertainment events etc., etc., peoples faces are usually glued to the…
