Looking for advise on what to do with 250K? Won't need to touch it for 15 to 20 years. TIA

Casino. Black. If you lose, you have 15-20 years to make it back up.

First, check to see if your credit score is over 900. (In case you don't know what credit scores are.)

No its not. I wasn't meaning the entire thing if that's how you took it.

Being that FICO only goes to 850, I doubt it's over 900. It's actually 804.

Come on Russian, been reading your posts for a couple of years. You seem either really smart or FOS one. I'm betting on the former. What ya got for me?

If you are talking about the current corporate bond market, yes it is.

doing bad so over a 20 year period, not a good time to buy in? As well as, i've always heard you don't try to "time in" your buys when it in for long runs.

I'm saying bond prices are going to go down in the near future. Buying into the bond market now is buying at the peak of the prices, IMO.

Buy some nice clothes and ask Tiger Wood's ex-wife for a date. She's got lots of money and is lonely.

But why make a dumb play when you know it's a dumb play? Riddle me that Batman?

Whatever the OP does, I would suggest that he put his money in over the course of at least a year. That's a large sum to drop in all at once.

PMPT presents the solution to that conundrum. I wish I could find a retail product that utilized it, because I would tell everyone I know to go with that.

so what does this mean? Is diversifying the portfolio with bonds (even though maybe not ideal to do so) still a bad idea?
