Two days ago Wells Fargo was fined $3B for the fraudulent account setups dating back to 2017."The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984
"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

Maybe Trump shouldn't have fired the US pandemic response team and then put Pence, an anti-science ideologue, in charge of the response? https://t.co/ILJ3kubglc

Over/under on number of days before Trump tweets out, “YOUR WELCUM, ENJOY!!!” about the stupid stock market, again? I’m sure by this point it’s been someone else’s responsibility all along. Probably the Fed, which needs to be “audited” or something.Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

Two- and three-year bonds are down 18% each today. They've bled off almost 40% this week.
THIRTY-year bonds are also off 15% this week.
That's insane.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

People are dumping money out of stocks and into safe havens. The fact that two- and three-years are down so much means there's a ton of demand there thinking the next two to three years those bonds will pay out more than the stock market, or at least hold value.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1

So people are basically saying the market is f-cked and running to bonds.
Which I did a year ago and now feel much smarter. (Narrator: he was not much smarter; just neurotic and cautious.)
I wonder how somebody does if they just throw everything into bonds the day a Republican takes office and then everything back into stocks the day a Democrat takes office? Over the last century that's probably a pretty good track record.Last edited by Kepler; 02-28-2020, 02:17 PM.Cornell University

I see the finance updates and just kissed my 401K goodbye.

But if you're diversified you will not get creamed. I am now 60 bonds 40 equity which TBH is more aggressive than recommended for my age, because I also have other sources for retirement. But if I were 70/30 as is recommended for my age I'd be fine.
Also, if you're under 50 don't worry about this at all. Keep your contributions steady, don't thrash, and even if there's free fall dollar cost averaging will pick you up on the back end.

You ride this sucker out, especially since I know you're nowhere near retirement age.
Thank you. This makes me feel okay about not fully being on top this sort of thing. I do get stocks should be treated as "set it and forget it," but I sometimes take that too far.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”
