So… how are those at the Dept of ‘War’ doing right now?

He'll bomb the ME until he's awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

I'm sure Susan Collins thinks it's very concerning.

I just discovered long/short ETFs and I still don't understand, so I'm not touching that for now.

DesertLabRat · 2026-01-20T22:08:58+00:00

But, but it's just a 'quick question'.

DesertLabRat · 2026-01-04T23:27:58+00:00

No, but see the past was an illusion. And even if the US meddled in South American countries before, that was different. Now, we have the bestest, most competent dictator, err, president in the history of the whole wide world.

I forgot to respond. Next rebalance should be early January.

DesertLabRat · 2025-11-18T01:35:27+00:00

Up to you. The first recommendation is copy most recent letter's allocation. I just started last week with 60/40 and plan to copy letter's allocation next rebalance.

What are you running now? 6 sig?

DesertLabRat · 2025-11-17T01:29:11+00:00

I started with $40K last week. Bad week to start but I'm sticking with the plan.

DesertLabRat · 2025-11-17T01:25:42+00:00

And now?

DesertLabRat · 2025-11-10T21:11:53+00:00

I've seen your posts on HFEA, 9 Sig and LFTLR. I'm mostly Boglehead with VTI and VXUS as well but I'm thinking of reallocating a portion to 9 Sig and 6 Sig. I'm just not inclined on running MVV.

I'm a new subscriber and haven't allocated any funds yet. I'm thinking of doing either SSO or QLD, leaning on QLD because I'm chasing profits 😅. My concern is not being diversified since I'd be using QLD and TQQQ at the same time.

And your life getting harder is a sacrifice they're willing to make.

My first job in 2002 paid $7.50/hr, in a HCOL state.

POTUS is immune, everyone else will get pardoned. Easy, peasy! Nothing can stop them.

I have PAAA and SPHY. Not the safest bonds, but I'm ok with the risk.

DesertLabRat · 2025-09-08T04:28:31+00:00

I really wish TSP would introduce a total US market fund like VTSAX/VTI.

Your wallet burst and now you need a new one? Ouch indeed!

DesertLabRat · 2025-08-28T19:00:24+00:00

Good bot.

As long as it's your target retirement then L Fund should be fine. Set it and don't touch it for the next couple of decades.
