The 3 1/3% yield that BigCharts lists for DVY is curiously close to the yield that Vanguard lists for annuities with simulated inflation adjustment. There doesn't seem to be any way to get around today's low yields affecting pay out ratios. Comparing inflation adjusted annuity yield with non inflati...

It makes sense to select high-dividend stocks for stock allocations considering today's prices. Is there any way to estimate how high dividend strategies have performed on a total return basis compared to TSM? Dogs of the Dow research would tend to indicate a favorable comparison. I have seen resea...

...social security payouts for everyone will fall further and further behind the consumer price index. The United States has a long history of debasing the currency in times of stress. Way back in the beginning Congress paid the revolutionary war debt with a currency called Continentals, which soon...

The Next Great Bubble Boom
I perused Harry S Dent's new book. He still thinks demographics will keep the bull going through 2009, but now he thinks the decennial cycle is more powerful than the demographic cycle (stocks perform better in the 2nd half of the decade due to corporate managers using 10 year plans that come to fru...

I heard in the 60's... The 60s were a good time to be accumulating stocks at the beginning of a person's career, but a bad time to retire. Youngters just starting out might be in good shape accumulating now, but a someone retiring could be in a bit of trouble becuase of today's low dividend yield. ...

The stock market is significantly smaller than the bond market and niches such as gold are much, much smaller. The destruction of bonds as an asset class has prevented many savers from keeping up with inflation. A large number seem to have found refuge in real estate, since they can keep the price ...

I would think many ER's don't match Vanguard's assumptions. I would guess they base their calculations upon the standard retirement age, with its related life expectency. ERs would have to figure out how to adjust their own allocations based upon their extended life expectency. Recent research on t...

I think this means that with 50% initial equity, and 5% of current balance withdrawn, not rebalancing produces more return . This makes sense. Starting with low initial equity exposure protects against downdrafts in the first years of retirement, and gradually increasing equity as time goes on incre...
