Re: Superb new post on Portfolio Charts

Thanks, Kevin. I'm glad you found it informative! The investor personality types was fun to write about.

And special thanks to blue_ruin17 for introducing me to the word "equanimity". :)

Re: portfoliocharts asset specifics

How about for the long-term investor, with mostly all the investment in retirement accounts? Less potential tax advantages? The tax advantage with ETFs is all about how they are structured to avoid capital gains distributions. So I would imagine that retirement accounts negate that advantage becaus...

Re: portfoliocharts asset specifics

Does VNQ parallel Vanguard's REIT index mutual fund? Substantially identical? Or, somewhat different? As Dualstow points out, they're two versions of the same fund. So the performance should be the same. But between the two, I'd personally go with the ETF version for the potential tax advantages th...

The REIT data on the site should most closely resemble the returns you'll see in funds like VNQ, SCHH, and IYR.

Yet another example of how the Value Stock Geek consistently sends an email with an email date about 2 weeks prior to it actually being sent. I was in the email box yesterday and it had nothing left in it about 24 hours ago. The email was not there. Today it is with a 2/21/24 date. My educated gues...

Re: Tyler interviewed!

Well, in a lot of ways speaking is easier than writing. I’ll sometimes spend hours thinking about how to reply to a post to communicate the right tone, while when talking it’s easier to just be yourself and clear up any disconnect on the spot. Maybe that just means I should try speaking more. I do e...

I just finished giving it a listen. Over a decade ago, Tex said he nominated Craig as “the most level-headed person on the Internet”. I think we now need to pass that torch onto Tyler. Ha! That would make for a nice title on a business card. I'm glad it comes across that way, even if I'm occasional...

I kept racking my mind to try to remember if I'd prior heard a tiny clip of Tyler somewhere. I've done a handful of speaking things in the past. Early on in Portfolio Charts I spoke with Jake on The Voluntary Life (Ep. 223). I read my own article about bond convexity for the Meb Faber show . And I'...

I took a peek through the report you linked to, and it still cites figures by account balance, not total of all accounts per person. For example see this sentence: "The average account balance of those families owning IA plans increased from $79,262 in 1992 to $258,453 in 2019." I found s...

Re: How much to save for retirement

The bad news is that I think you're overestimating the amount of savings the median person has. I think I found the WSJ article you're referencing, and the $266k figure is the median family net worth for the age range of 65-74. That includes not only all accounts but also home equity.
