Timely article, ed ed. Thanks for sharing.

Currently, I do not make scheduled withdrawals from our funds, but I do make 'occasional' withdrawals that won't add up to more than 3% annual, usually for specific purchases. We're in our early 60's, and this is a tough one to call. Good time to be conservative in budgeting.

Hey, fun to see you following along here! Wish you could join us in Quartzsite next month and meet more of these good folks, but welcoming that new granddaughter trumps the Classless Class Look forward to catching up with each other once you are out on the road again. Hugs and best wishes to you both, D & T

Yep, We both wish we could be out there too... Be sure and have some good 'stories' that can be shared when we get together again. Grandchild is due in early January, and then when we can pull ourselves away (February?)... we'll be heading for Arizona for sure. I've already told Alice the tears have to 'stop' by the time we get thru Chicago.

I just bought another large block of Tesla at 121.00 earlier this week I timed that right.

Don't forget yer friends when you become rich.

Good folks, you guys be, Tom & Dianne. Give our best to Southern California... Salton Sea... and hopefully Sunshine & warm.

Vanguards version of asking "Are You Still In?"

 

It is pretty telling when Vanguard starts sending out emails to its customers about re-balancing (certainly not called market timing! - or is it?) with comments like:

 

"Buying stocks now may actually run counter to what many prudent investors should be doing,"

 

Cheers John

Yep. According to my Financial Advosor... we should be out of stocks. And with his half of the family treasury, we are. On my half, I am still sitting in MM funds... Watching & Waiting for 'something'.

Interesting times we live in!

Jim

Hmmm... at those numbers, I would say you are doing pretty well.

Congrats!

Jim
