I have a 16, 14, and 11 year old to get through college. Hence my 10 year more until retirement.
That is what I get for marrying a 2nd time to a women 14 years younger than me....LMAO

Tuition maybe, but doubtful overall once he needs his own, separate food and lodgings as well...
Of course, he could go close to home, so you may be right.
I just know we started a fund when my kid was born, and the way tuition keeps climbing it's not going to come close to covering by the time he's 18...

If you're in the buy and hold camp this is just a bump in the road. I am seriously thinking about putting some more money in even though my days of contributing are pretty much over.
1. The Fed raised interest rates.
2. It's a normal sell off. A bit earlier this year but that trend has been moving to mid-October. Fairly normal.
3. It's much higher this year due to the amount of money made in the previous months. A LOT of money. Lots of selling of losing stocks to equalize their earnings for tax purposes.
4. There's a lot of buying opportunities now but not for long because...
5. It appears we've hit bottom and many are taking advantage of the "sale". Most stocks are rebounding as we speak. Sit tight and buy NOW if you can.

Typical leftist humility calling yourself “truth”. Is that your truth, A truth, or The truth? The king or tropes complains about tropes? It would be ironic if it had a hint of humor. It doesn’t. Turns out “truth” is nothing but a radical, partisan opinion masquerading as fact.
We spend more than we have. That has been a longer term trend. Growth will help restrain that. Unless they just spend it too.
It’s going to be your lot in life that your genius is only appreciated by yourself. Don’t confuse that with pity though. I’m pitiless when it comes to arrogant imbeciles like you. Figure the odds you’re a twenty something millennial trying to profess and impress us with your knowledge. It’s a tough lot in life to try and educate and proselytize to the stupid gun guys. You’re a shining light of wisdom in a sea of darkness...truth.
Truth seems to live up to the Dem philosophy. Accuse others of that which you actually are. It (not sure of sex don't want to trigger) likely proof reads Porn scripts to make the whores look intellectual.
Trump is a Businessman not a Politician. Politicians spend money expecting no return (other than favors). Trump is spending money too but he wants a return. To him it's an investment. An investment in America. He expects to get results from his investments. So far he is. BTW he is cutting cost's they say can't be cut. He knows how to get results.

Awe man! You were breaking through! You were TEACHING us about politix, and economixs, and social consciousness! You were right there man! You just about had everyone on The Hide ready to vote for Hillary, and to accept you as our socialist master to guide and correct us so we understood...troof!
Then you went and had to derp! Roont!

You used "dollop" and "trope" and "myopic" in the same sentence.
Are we supposed to think you are smart .....or just really good at the LGBTQ edition of Scrabble?
Man, I second that. Thinking of making my own at this point. They sell a machine that swages copper jacketed lead up to .50, but I don't know how well they work. Thinking of asking for samples to inspect and fire. Could also just get the best lathe of it's type I can get and make solid copper and brass bullets, maybe with tungsten inserts for better penetration and BC. This would take advantage of all the math and analysis I studied at university and I could get my license and make a domestic Raufoss, I'm sure that'd sell gangbusters. Hell, I could get a govt. contract one day if it worked out! Everyone says "don't load/sell ammo, too risky" but this is different. Maybe I found my new business and one I can work up to... May look into this.
Exactly. Well said.
The sequence doesn’t matter during accumulation in the manner it does in distribution. Although it can really piss you off during a correction.
A couple good reads on sequencing in distribution. (Not click bait just reports, too long to copy/paste)

Milvesky's paper is quite excellent. I read it for the first time a long while ago. Above the canopy is an excellent site for material as well.
Thanks.
I agree. He brings in a concept unfamiliar to many although it becomes a huge influence during distribution.
Seems that accumulation is the fixation not how to make it last. Done correctly, you can utilize concepts that allow greater cash flow in retirement while lowering or eliminating some of the risk.

The gem of that paper is looking at your investment return history and computing both the arithmetic and geometric mean. The geometric mean is an incredibly accurate long term barometer for basing projections that are more realistic. It also does provide you a risk weighting factor.
People do fixate on accumulation versus longevity. I have no issue with taking my profits whenever I see troubling times. Stops need regular adjustment as profits increase so you can always be sure to walk away with profit. Most people seriously fail here. People quote the adage what goes down will come back up. Historically that is true but how long it takes varies. Losing a significant % of your portfolio in your later years is foolish. Anyone would agree but most people's behavior does not track that belief.
The composition of your portfolio changes as your goals change. By composition I don't mean which equities to hold. The portfolio asset classes change and have to if you're going to stay ahead of the curve regardless of the economic environment.
If you do it right, you will always make money. How much will, of course, vary with the times. And if you take profits regularly, you will always grow.
Yessir.
The stops can be as simple as below the x number of days low or even a moving average but I agree, they need changed periodically.
Portfolio standard deviation can be used to warn of extremes or even help with money management.

Your portfolio's SDEV should always be compared to the SDEV of the S&P 500 under identical conditions. It is an excellent indicator of the attributes (good or bad) of your portfolio. It can guide your decisions in an extremely positive way
Smartest post here. Up or down the market always trends up over time. Let that soak in.
