Watching the Fox biz hour via YouTube.com, and they have shown some graphics on the Dow losers of the day.

Looks like the biggest loser of the Dow 30 so far is the America hating NIKE. Down more than 6%.

I agree 100% tax cuts are beneficial to economy. But I am not liking the Trillion dollar+ annual budget deficits. The cost of servicing the national debt is accelerating as well and is nearing $400 Billion/year, which is a burden borne by tax payers. The national debt issue must be addressed, sooner the better.

You mean in terms of being invested in stocks? We’ve discussed that. You still want to bring in “some” growth. So we’ve been thinking up to 20/80 sticks/bonds.

I’m thinking that with the Fed driving rates up, bonds are not so good.

Maybe a ladder of individual bonds, but the rest of the ways to be invested in Bonds have serious drawbacks.

China markets down 4 to 5.5 %, it’s on!
No investments seem to be going up so I wonder: where does all this money go? Just to cash?

Fed doing its part to put a damper on - right before the election instead of right after....

It depends really on two things, well three really.

1) Your overall health. How long are you expected to live?
2) How much you spend? Do you have broader goals - for example, do you want to travel a lot or just live quietly.
3) What sort of fixed income do you have, if any? i.e. pension, Social Security, etc.

If 2 isn’t a major issue, then you may be ok living off your investments and just negating what you spend a little by the income the bonds/investments throw off. If you want to have a larger amount of income coming in, then you need to up the stock percentage slightly.

With 10 years to go, as I say, I’m pretty close to 80/20 in favor of stocks. That includes the assets under private management as well as the assets in my 401K. Social Security will be gravy for me. Whatever I get, I get. I’m hoping that’s going to dinner money. All my life I’ve never counted on it.

And your tolerance level for risk impacts things too naturally. Do what feels right. Do what allows you to sleep well at night.

Just brought this thread back to see how the Nike-Crappydick spokes-thing fiasco is working.

Can't say that I have heard of or seen any further ads featuring Crappydick.

Anybody else seen or heard anything?

Eh, that’s the special sauce Shiller P/E — which looks to the last 10 years. That means with all the earnings suppressed by the crash of 2008 and eight years of Obama.

Disgustingly, their big concern is “wage inflation”.

I would not jump into Bonds with 2 feet right now. However bond yields are looking better now than previous 10 years. I am retired for almost 20 years (was early retirement), and counting on living 20 more years haha. Just started averaging into Bonds. Will take me 2 years at the rate I am buying them to get in with all my Bonds allocation money.
