Hi Petey, nice post. Just as an aside, TIPS over 30 years using 10-year TIPS and reinvesting get an estimated 4% real with little taxes and cuts out volatility due to holding to redemption. This line puzzles me though. 10 year TIPS don't offer any where near 4% real return. I guess you are talking a...

Also; leaving at my peak earnings time means that 1 year working NOW could be MANY years later if need to catch up after a horrible stock market having devastated my portfolio. ...

My preference is that discussions of the SWR matter be held at the board that was created for the purpose of facilitating such discussions. But ... ... if people won't particpate there, then I'm happy to bring it into their threads on other boards. This stuff is too important to not be discussed wh...

POST OF THE YEAR!!!!!
I have an intense desire to advance the world's knowledge of the realities of SRSs. That desire doesn't do anyone any good unless I have tools available to me to put it to practical, constructive purposes. You have provided me such a tool, and I am grateful. OMG! :lol::lol::lol: That was the single...

Hola, again, Jonny. Great post. :great: I made some comments and asked some questions in another thread, so I won't repeat those here. One thing though: you are using a 457 plan as your supplemental savings. The one I have available has some pretty harsh expenses tacked onto already expensive funds,...

Re: I can't take this anymore
Frankly, this board has become a mess since then and is only getting worse. As much as it pains me I am going to greatly limit my participation here in the future. I sincerely hope for ES that things work themselves out and that the NFB flourishes. You'll be missed, raddr. I've actually found sever...

That debate was started by you (at least in my experience): there's your credit. Sorry, bensolar, but if you'll recall, after hocus linked to the standalone post 8 of a thread, yours truly went to the whole thread where I noted that the top post contained a reference from Bill Bernstein on the impo...

It is an established fact that you have taken advantage of the insight that I put forward in my post of May 13, 2002. I am of course going to make note of that fact in making the case to the community of the value of the insight. You are free to deny having said what you said in earlier posts. I am...

I missed version two of tzero first time around. The only problem now is the light weight of the vehicle(1970 lbs). I would hate to be in one when hit by full sized pick up. <g>I personally would be more interested in the plug-in hybrid pickup talked about in the forbes article. However, I doubt th...

Re: SCV Switching
SCV seems to respond well to switching based upon S&P P/E 10. Setting the P/E parameters at 0% equity for less than P/E 14, 40% up to P/E 22, and 0% thereafter yields large gains in terminal values plus improved portfolio survival at a 4.1% withdrawal rate. The resultant gains in terminal portf...

Do you think you will make it as far as Cincy? 8) Hi ES, I was up in your neck of the woods last weekend for a wedding in Canton, OH. First time I did more than drive through the state. We also ran up to Cleveland for some lunch and sightseeing. Fun trip. Ohio has some very pretty parts. I loved so...

What's a little bit interesting is that the plan allows for a 0% withdrawl rate from the stock/bond portfolio for as long as the queue is fed. Yes, indeed. My amorphous plans for semi-FIRE will not include drawing down my stock or bond portfolio at all for decades to come. I will likely avoid touch...

I am toying with an alternative retirement scheme involving “fix n’ flip” real estate. I would appreciate any comment/criticism from the board. I like it! I'm hoping to do a bit of the same. At some point in the not-to-distant future, I would like to quit my square job and live a semi-FIRE lifestyl...
