Bought 80 shares of VTU. throwing money to the wind.
Which reminds me that I miss Lou Rukeyser.
I've been buying in sizable chunks all the way down since July 08.Bought 80 shares of VTU. throwing money to the wind.
I'm buying about $2000 worth of S&P500 index funds every two weeks. I'm sure fearful and I feel like a dumbsh*t so it must be the right thing to do.PS. Repeat after me- buy when everyone is fearful (say it over and over and please make it my/our reality)
I bought today. Moved 5% from fixed income to equities. I'm still low on equities, but feeling more optimistic every dayOh, man. The Dow is down to 7366 at market close today. Oof. Ouch. That is so low. A person would have to be a real optimist to be bullish today.

Hey, if you've run the numbers and determined you don't need to take market risk, more power to you. The more I watch what's going on now, the more I think I'll postpone retirement until I can safely assume an asset allocation that doesn't have to take a lot of risk. That probably means a 2.5-3% withdrawal rate, but better than assuming 4% and retiring in late 2007 (or early 2000).Fourteen years later, look where it is. Don't have the time left anymore to take chances.
