  1. I like the idea of 60/20/20... Any arguments against this and more towards 100 large cap (or other) given the Chinese market or likely Greece exit in the future (IMO)...
  2. Thanks for the input... You don't allocate some to bonds? I thought the stock market is not anticipated to have much return for the next decade?
  3. Does anyone have a recommendation for a relative inexperienced investor such as myself as to where to allocate money in a government defined contribution plan - is the Thrift Savings Plan? I have the option of choosing large cap, small cap, bonds, treasuries, international stocks, a mix of my own design, or a mix that is determined by how long until I retire. I have no ability to choose any particular stock. I am currently in treasuries and missed some of the last run-up in the stock market. I have read some articles about the unlikelihood of the overall stock market to have further growth, so I am at a loss what is the most prudent distribution is at this point. Anyone have a TSP retirement here? thanks! HW
  4. I live in Los Angeles with my wife and we have been wanting to move , but despite making a sizable income between the two of us I feel we are priced out of a better neighborhood/larger house... I am hearing many realtors say housing here is looking like a bubble - also noted by Bob Shiller - and my wife is pressing to leave and rent, which would be a huge headache, but many blogs I read suggest otherwise and given several recent positive economic forecasts of low inflation/improving economy I have my doubts, at least for the immediate future... Just curious how the board is weighing on housing, at least in Southern California...?
  5. Does anyone have experience with this site as a means to emulate some of the more lauded investors in a relatively tight time window....?
  6. Parsad - thanks for weighing in. How do you take Hugh Hendry's assertion about China derailling...?
  7. Hopefully Parsad weighs in as well - I am curious as to his thoughts given the variety of rumblings...
  8. ...picking up the BAC common at this price?
  9. Thanks for everyone's input. Believe me - I have been waiting for a pullback since BAC had been sitting at $8 - although perhaps its not as safe as AIG given the latter's close scrutiny and that it is nearly out of the woods... I am curious though - where does the ECRI or Hussman go wrong and why does broad insider selling not concern people here? The spectre of a China hard landing, a widely recessionary Europe, and Japan falling into a chasm seem to have largely evaporated, yet I dont see any substantial change other than that governments can sometimes make a decision together... Note that I do recognize the folly of making investment decisions about individual companies from macroeconomic predictions, which prove to be largely unpredictable...
  10. Much appreciated. I still do my own due dilligence, but am suffering a bit of the sense of 'missing the boat'... I am currently trying to do some work on AIG... I do find it odd that I keep reading that there is a high trend currently of insider selling...
  11. I am relatively new to investing and despite nearly getting in to BAC at $5, sadly, I ended up reading too much of the Hussman and ECRI gloom, plus I got quite singed last year on one decision and overall I have been feeling a bit gunshy... So I consequently I havent committed much cash this point... It didn't help that zerohedge called one of the issues I was burned on, so I ended up paying it a bit too much credence... Do anyone know who these writers are BTW and what their agenda is? Anyway... Ideas... Are people still feeling good about AIG?
  12. Also - i would anything like prolotherapy (re other post)... its possible Platlet Rich Plasma would be beneficial, but i would hazard its more likely to be harmful
  13. Try high(er) dose vitamin C, transdermal magnesium, and a skilled practitioner of Frequency Specific Microcurrent.
