Thanks for the update at TMF. Obviously, I no longer visit. It's quite amazing to me the direction that board has taken since I added it to my favorite boards back in late '97. Unfortunately, it's transformation into something else prompted me to remove it from my fav's 3-4 years or so later. One pa...

Greetings all. Look at this quote: As of October 7, 2003 , the index contained 74 funds in 11 investment processes So, as of this coming Tuesday, right? They're talking about the future, while using past tense. :?::?::? Hedge funds bizarre? Apparently my pension plan doesn't believe so. We received ...

Greetings Chips: As of yesterday, I changed my assumption on real annual return to 2.5%. So, here is my new plan, subject of course to revision as market action unfolds: Age Range and Average Annual Withdrawal Rate: 63 to 69 1.94% 70 to 79 2.04% 80 to 89 2.27% 90 to 94 2.43% Chips, that's a plan any...

Despite his alleged shortcomings, I'm still a huge fan of WB. He can be humerous and to the point, as these quotes illustrate: 1. What's the biggest misperception people have about retirement investing? I'd point out three. First, people think they're going to get a 7% real stock return over time. T...

Greetings raddr: What kills retirements is big losses early on. It almost doesn't matter what your withdrawal rate is. For example, if you loaded up on TSM stocks in 1999 you took nearly a 50% hit whether you were withdrawing 3%, 4%, 6% or whatever. You would've been screwed. The key is to avoid the...

Should I stay or should I go. As most here know, I will not pay a fee to remain a poster at TMF. Maybe it's because there was no fee involved for the first 4 years there, it was a slap in the face to be asked to pay to stay. Last year I got comped, and remained there as most who received the same of...

Greetings ES. I've thought of breaking my word and posting there one more time just to let some of the old indexers I haven't heard from for a year know where we all are. No need, if you're really trying to stay true to your convictions. Several here have already mentioned NFB on our old board. And ...

Greetings all. It's been interesting reading this thread. I got stuck on something hocus wrote. You said that there are just as many buyers as there are sellers, and just as many sales of stocks as there were purchases in the 1990's. But this made me wonder what happens to all the shares of a compan...

I would like to thank ataloss for thanking the people at REHP who alienated some of the best posters there and drove them here! Wait. ES have you been watching Monty Python lately?
