Nonsense, I delete like half my posts. There's a little 'x' in the top right corner of the post, beside the edit pencil.

I consider the PP a "better" version of bonds. So when budd says "yea, but you need a lot of stocks in the VP" I am down with that. 60/40 stocks/PP, go for it. 50/50 like Markowitz? How about half stocks, half PP (or... 62.5% stocks, 12.5% LTTs, STTs, gold).

You LOL now, but when the idiot leftist protesters here start destroying our cities, it won't be nearly as amusing.

I takes my lulz where I can.

France has been adopting some of the things I said I liked. Lowering speed limits, installing labor-saving radar ticketing robots, etc. On July 1, Prime Minister Édouard Philippe... [lowered] the speed limit... on secondary (country) roads by 10 km/h, decreasing the limit from 90 km/h (56 mph) to 8...

Shadows and dust.

Vanguard lowered the minimum amounts needed for Admiral expense ratios for VTI/VTSAX, VGLT/VLGSX and for VGSH/VSBSX. $3,000 gets you the lower expense ratio now.

Ignore the noise.

The only asset class that matters is dinosaurs.

Typo error on website. Stay away. "While you support American small businss owners"

They can recover from that. I'm thinking a new ad with raucous "USA! USA!" chants looped over the fluttering Stars and Stripes. Say, 7-9 minutes long.

For any future bathroom remodels, I'm going to look for as simple of a shower shell as I can find. My current one has ledges, overhangs, a handrail... all stuff that makes it hard to scrub and wipe down. Simpler is cheaper too. Something that looks like this is what I'm thinking: https://images.home...

I didn't even know what the stock market was in 2009. In 2010 my buddy got me started investing and I got Greenblatt's book from the library.

At that point, VTI could pass the Magic Formula valuation screen Too bad I didn't know wtf I was doing.
