The more things change... once we're done rebalancing I'm looking forward to some hands-off time.
I have to admit, though, that this is a challenging month to liquidate a college-fund equity portfolio for a CD ladder. Not that I'm complaining; our Berkshire overweighting made Cardude's portfolio look like UncleMick's Norwegian widow.

I can hear my father-in-law right now (from five time zones away) muttering about that "predictable income" when the Fed gets involved with him rolling over his short-term Treasuries.
I think a lot of the bond knowledge of today's average investor is based on the experiences of their Depression-era ancestors, who got
their bond knowledge from Jane Austen's "four-percenters" in an era of unprecedented British non-inflation economics. And with modern financial engineering, to me they seem even more complicated than stocks.
