And unlike gardens, they need far less management (tinkering) than people think.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us
Descaling the coffeemaker and trying not to inhale those nasty chemicals. It’s the most excitement I’m going to have all morning. You gotta do instant coffee! :D I like the name change! I do enjoy instant coffee when not at home and I’m not a total coffee snob but.. freshly ground beans, Smithers. ...

Re: Occupied Land acknowledgements
When did acknowledging that your institution is on “Located on Occupied and Unceeded XYZ Ancestral Homelands” become a thing? Is it anything other than empty virtue signaling? I’m reading ‘The Identity Trap’ book which details how various concepts made their way from fringe to academia to instituti...

Re: Why Value?
… I did hire an FA (Jon Luskin, who these days hosts the Bogleheads podcasts) for a one-time review. The value of it, for me, was pretty much entirely for non-portfolio stuff: things like making better use of HSA's for health insurance savings, re-thinking our Social Security claiming strategy, etc...

Re: Why Value?
Wouldn't just a small cap (without any value tilt) allocation accomplish the same thing? I share the sentiment of wanting to tilt away from megacap growth stocks, but not the belief in value premium. Well, some see small cap growth as something to avoid, as it has the greatest share of companies mo...

I understand. Thank you! If I recall, you had a portfolio checkup with Allan Roth or a similar professional which I’m sure helps one stick to the plan.

ADDING to the above so that I don’t keep editing: What I mean is, if you individually bought and held the Magnificent 7, you would of course get dinged when one of them invariably slides. If you buy the total market, some unknown that you never would have thought to buy is going to grow to become p...

Re: Why Value?
Do you tilt to value, Kevin? I guess you adopted the Golden Butterfly. Did you tilt to small cap value or just value before Tyler invented that portfolio? TSM or Total Stock Market is just a mirror of the market, is it not? If Apple is a large part of VTSAX it’s because it’s a large part of the mark...

… From what I could remember, all of the historical out performance is based on indexes that were not actual funds during the out performance times. … Hah!

At some point, the number of surly bogleheads grew too great in number for me to bear. And, if you respond to them the moderators treat you like you’re part of the problem.
Just ignore them, Smithers. Surf for info and never post there.

Why Value?
Harry Browne eventually moved from a collection of Growth stock funds to the S&P 500. A lot of pp’ers seem to like value stocks. I am still partial to value stocks. ^-^ Every once in a while, I look at the performance of growth stock funds and value stock funds versus VTSAX, Vanguard’s total domesti...

Re: What's the actual rationale for investing in long term bonds?
Good Morning ArthurPooh, Maybe look at the issue from a different perspective. This is how I explained the PP to my late mother. 1. We put your money into 1/2 savings and 1/2 investments. 2. The savings are in 50% Gold, 50% Cash, just in case the AUD loses value 3. The investments are in 50% Shares...

That is definitely Vinny’s house. What were you using Python for? Tinkering with AI? :) Just playing with programming for the sake of programming.
