Any indication when this info will be released?
Free beer tomorrow. I'm tired of being protected from truth.

I expect our coaches to make him understand that if he wants to play in the NBA that he has to do both. I'm assuming this guy wants to go to the NBA. If not, then maybe we'll just get what we get. I expect Wade to find his pressure points and push them.

Of course he could. This is so telling and continues to explain some significant differences between generations.

It looks like the market hasn't decided how to feel about the latest happenings. Is there more information to share regarding the revival of this thread?
No, but only because the vast majority of my money is in an IRA so it’s not subject to capital gains. I know people who do, yes, and if you do it long enough you eventually have longer-held shares to avoid short term gains. You may even choose to forgo following the exact plan for a year to avoid short term gains. Totally up to you.

TLDR: I use a system that's just based on math, so there's no emotional decision-making. The math says to buy more or sell and take profits from quarter-to-quarter. The TACO and NACHO trades have been amazing.

The system I use is designed to improve on simple dollar-cost averaging by using value-cost averaging: adding more after underperformance, adding less or selling after outperformance, and maintaining a disciplined stock/bond rebalancing framework. In many historical periods, especially volatile ones, that kind of system can outperform simple DCA or passive buy-and-hold with the same contributions. But the advantage is not guaranteed in every period, and the comparison depends heavily on the benchmark, time horizon, leverage level, and whether you measure absolute or risk-adjusted returns. I have been fortunate in that it's worked exceedingly well for me, especially over the past 10 years. I retired when I turned 53 with more than I ever thought I'd have. I do use leveraged funds, though, which is something that a lot of people are scared to do.
If they're going to the New Orleans Schwab building, please let me know how the experience was. I haven't had to go there yet but might have to eventually.
Nice. I just ordered one of these for my Australian Shepherds.
If she likes chasing balls, maybe an automatic ball thrower? She'd have to be smart enough to learn how to put them back in the bucket or you'd have to facilitate.

My experience has always been that it's not difficult to do it, but I've only ever transferred qualified money (401Ks, IRAs) or mutual funds. Usually they'll ask if you want to transfer the mutual fund shares or liquidate (but this was a long time ago, so YMMV).

I don't know how transferring annuities would work.

I would start at Fidelity and they will walk you through it. Granted, I have never worked with Fidelity, but it's always been super easy with Schwab.

what are you talking about? Blue Bayou is located in a good part of town.
At $80, it is a vacation destination for North Baton Rouge. That's fine, but they can have it. Make it $1000 and I'll consider it.

WSJ: "Michael Jackson's Biopic Blinds Us From the Truth"

Here is an article from Maureen Orth from the documentary.

quote:

I found credible evidence that he committed crimes against children—crimes I believe he got away with. He was never criminally convicted, he and his estate have paid $43.5 million in settlements to the families of children who accused him of abuse. And now, in a movie that is supposedly an examination of his life, it isn’t even a footnote.

But this is what I know: His tactics to silence were violent and cruel; his ego and sense of entitlement so inflated that he demanded humanitarian awards be presented to him before personal appearances, frequently invoking his devotion to emulating Christ-like purity.
quote:

Who wants to know his evil while dancing at a wedding to “Billie Jean?” Personally, I hate it when people come up to me and say, “Did Michael Jackson really do all those things?”

I spent a long time investigating and wrote 50,000 words to be able to say the answer is yes—but even in death, Michael can still control the narrative.
If I were the fiduciary, I would make my decision to work with them based on how much their assets are worth that I would be managing. I'm not going to spend a lot of time managing small assets. It's (probably) not worth it.
According to ChatGPT, fiduciaries are not legally required to say you're better off self-managing.

My parents are not comfortable managing their money, but I do it for them. Would they let you do it (assuming you are financially literate and complexity is low)?
