if true, the premise that they are immune to the stock market swings still stands...

Actually, most boomers don’t have enough in investment accounts to care

Dear Boomers


They can't stand that our generation might reshore the industrial base so GenX and Millenials might enjoy some economic success for once.

Right now is a good time to buy. Remember, the rich ones arent the first to sell, they’re the first to buy.

Sure, but other generations aren’t at or past retirement age

That's great, sport.

Before you bring the 7 Series around, use the microfiber on the rims.

People need to take advantage of buying low.

And if you have money in your HSA that can be invested, now would be a good time to do so. I just shoveled investable cash from the "spend" side to the "invest" side to buy index funds.

PE ratios are still a little too high for me, and div yields are still a little too low.

Thanks for the advice..
I invested in stocks and bonds instead of green toast so my income is the same ( no reason to sell income producers.. stocks go down.. yields go up).. except I am letting a few bonds go at positive values and buying some discounted income producing stocks at greater yield..

I did have to wake up early to set some buys ..darn 10:00 morning .. enjoying some coffee in the back yard by the pool as my automated buys kick in when appropriate..

Thanks for your concern.. gotta go trying to decide where to go eat tonight.

Now Boomers

I’m actually curious to see what’s next.

I am down some on stocks. I am way up on metals. The stock market dip is not permanent.
