Hmmmm
Today - er sort of sold off by snail mail. My last trade was 1998. I try not get over active and incurr too many expenses due to overtrading.
In tax deferred: sold Lifestrategy moderate, Vanguard REIT Index, Vanguard REIT Index, Vanguard Small Cap Value, Fidelity US Bond Index.
Used the above to purchase Vanguard Target Retirement 2015. Almost gave into emotional yearnings(Psst! - Wellesley) but I rocked up and bought 2015.
No big slice and dice(as to their mix of asset classes) - at 12 years into ER at age 62 - looked at my track record overall since 1966, the grey hair, etc. - ok dokie - I'll conceed.
BUT - NOT TOTALLY!!! In my kayak, travel, entertainment, misc budget (up from 15%) - I have a VG Brokerage account.
Canceled four more DRIP Plans today - only 36 or so more to go. Took since 1989 to get two file cabinets worth(peaked at 48) - so no great rush to get certificates and drive VG crazy. A few even allow direct transfer - depending on the plan.
The slices will be only if I group individual stocks into classes - instead of the Norwegian widow utes, tel., oils, REITs, drugs etc. My Glaxo is international, Alcan is
natural resource/international, UBS is Swiss or financial.
Like skins and shirts - 25% kayak/Norwegian widow vs 75% 2015 or something like that.
Of course the Nords, Brewer and all the other cats on this forum who post individual picks from time to time will get extra attention - so's I can 'kayak' past 2015 so to speak.
May be old - still have a few hormones left. I did get Seattle right - hope springs eternal.
Heh heh heh heh
