Thank you Letj Interesting take.

Gotcha. Thanks.

what does SIRE mean?

Yeah, that jumped out at me as well. Seems to be much more accurate for latter stage cancers. Also, certain cancers are much more detectable than others.

Anyone have any experience with Galleri ? Looks like a pre screening test for dozens of cancers in a single blood test. https://www.galleri.com/

Congrats on the monster return with LLY. Whats more impressive is that you held it all this time. I just do ETFs because I'm sure i would sell winners too early and the anguish of deciding what to do would really mess with my serenity which is what I cherish these days.

Exit 2024 To me a HUGE advantage of Schwab over Vanguard is the ability of my beneficiaries to walk into an office and sit face to face with someone who can hold their hand through the process.

Similar to you, I retired almost 7 1/2 years ago. I'm almost all stock and NW is up now almost 70% so I'm starting to spend more ---dental stuff, helping family, charity, etc and I'm feeling pretty good about it. I'm sure a nasty bear market will give me pause, but yeah I get the mental struggle...

Up 3.72% YTD

I don't know if I can handle this:2funny:

on radio I'll listen to 1010 WINS to get overview TV I like PBS on Friday nights they do a ten minute recap of the news of the week with David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart. I like them both. Like others have said I find the news/social media very toxic I do watch CNBC while I eat lunch...

I have a bridge on the upper left and I've been pleased with it. The reality is I don't really have a choice as it turns out, which frankly is a bit of relief. I don't have to agonize over what the "right thing to do" is.

Update: I talked to my dentist this morning as I had a few questions He said due to my sinuses being “ very low” he is not suggesting implants and would opt for a bridge Not sure I’m relaying this information correctly but that was gist of his assessment.

It's such a preposterous comment it doesn't even dignify a response. Walking is fantastic on many levels. 11 miles? well done!

I did not. Yeah, will check back in with this thread after I see him. Again, thank you everyone for the insight.

Thank you for this and all the other comments. I see my dentist in 10 days for a follow up on the extraction to make sure healing is going as expected. Will decide next step from there. The teeth behind and in front are virgin teeth so no issue there. I'm a non smoker and my gums are good. no...

Interesting...thank you

Hi there.....anyone have any direct experience with implants or bridges? I have a bridge on my upper left and have been pretty satisfied with cleaning process, overall feel etc Now I had a crown on tooth on upper right and tooth underneath totally cracked so crown wont work so I'm faced...

This conversation probably deserves it's own thread, but as of now I'm only withdrawing from my taxable account so right off the bat putting a tax inefficient asset ( bonds) into that account isnt wise IMO. Secondly , in my studying all this bonds are good for mitigating volatility, but I'm fine...

I don't think I've ever had less interest in a recommendation :laugh:

Ummm....In my view I've done quite well with my approach. I retired at 50 over 7 years ago. The average withdraw rate has been 3.3% and including withdrawals my portfolio is up over 70%. I've paid zero in commissions and fees over that time frame. If that constitutes "over saving " or...

Posting from my iphone is a disaster for some reason... here is the article I mentioned: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/lost-decade-forecasts-bunk-cheer-fear-ken-fisher/

It was a very rough patch.....and a very rare one. and even if we go through that exact same one, I'm fine.

Stocks have never gone down 50% and stayed down for a decade. Could that happen? Sure , but it never has. I believe the future will mirror the past and even if stocks do half of their historical average going forward I’m fine. But I actually think we are in for a better future than we’ve...
