Re: Why Value?
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.

Re: Why Value?
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...

Re: Why Value?
… 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! That’s a very very interesting find, if true, whatcha. I think I remember an article saying something along the same lines about funds in gener...

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...

Thanks for this! I love the gibberish he throws in there. Perfect. I have got through listening to the first two hours of Robert Hur testifying at the House. All of a sudden it hit me that the Biden defenders / supporters main message is: "Your honor! Yes, my client is a murderer. But he's NOT a Se...

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

Re: What am I missing here?
I agree to a great extent. However, it’s not about just wealth, but value, Barrett. New treatments for ailments, the democratization of the cellphone, etc. Granted there are all kinds of problems — surprise medical costs & out-of-pocket health insurance rates; unaffordable housing, and so forth. But...

Re: What am I missing here?
• 50K to 350K over 15 years is 13.85% annualized, right? Is that so dramatic? This is why I’ve always been stock heavy. • As we know, the market moves in fits and starts, thus “time in the market, not timing the market.” What was that ten-year period where the S&P returned nothing? Maybe 2000 to 201...

Everyone knows about haggis, Mountaineer. It’s too extreme to not hear about it.
Smithers, you must be relieved, pun intended, to be back in your home bathroom.
