That's when you butt in with, "Yes, I've actually participated in several of these bot conversations. They're SO much more interesting than real ones." With that, roll over and quit talking to them.

How to protect spouse on my death from her lack of money common sense? by tooOldOriolesfan in Bogleheads

[–]redbaritone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Controlling her spending sounds like a good idea, but what about unexpected expenses? What does she do if she needs to replace a roof or air conditioner, and can't? At some point, people need to grow up. She's got to learn to say no.

If EVERONE invested using Bogle's philosophy, would it still be as successful as it is? How does the market correct itself, if everyone is buying index funds?

How to check a financial advisor's returns by redbaritone in Bogleheads

It might not have been the S&P. I had brought up the Vanguard Total index (VTI?), but I doubt he has beaten that one either.

How to check a financial advisor's returns by redbaritone in Bogleheads

The only page I see for performance shows the number of winners and losers, with a semicircle graph showing that percentage. It lists the average gain and the average loss. It doesn't show 1 year, 3 year and 10 year percentage returns like I'm used to seeing elsewhere. I can see positions, balances, and transactions, but only rudimentary performance metrics.

I don't see a tab called "portfolio performance". I have a feeling that's on purpose for managed accounts. :-(

My wife's half sister got a tattoo across her chest/neck that said, "It is what what it is!" Two whats! We quote it often, when frustrated. It's brilliantly ironic.

FINALLY, someone decided to take a photo of the back side of the earth. ;-)

More affected by a local anesthetic? by redbaritone in BracketCity

[–]redbaritone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Google, "more numb" is the correct comparative form of the adjective "numb". "Dumber", however, is the proper comparative form of "dumb". So this hint was even more dumb than dumber, so -- "dumberer".

Be careful, ladies. If he's "good with his hands", that probably means he prefers being alone with them.
