BMO spokesman Brian Belski (president/chief?) says S&P 500 to go to 2800 by years end. Now I have no personal connection to this guy. Im convinced he read my post yesterday about the 67 % crash thats coming, and wanted to calm me down. I can not find his predicting accuracy but I like what he...

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman-sachs-warns-p-500-131110712.html Dont these people know that this kind of headline makes me uncomfortable? I know all the stuff about "well if you cant handle a crash you have the wrong Asset Allocation." I think I can handle it, but it doesn't make me...

So a few weeks ago I post about a DR making house calls for my elderly mother. I was absolutely shocked, in this day and age such a service exists except for the super rich. He takes insurance , and I use moms money for the remainder of the bill, no big deal. Well God has been kind to my...

The short story is he can get $223 a month for life starting immediately, he is 50 year old. He can get $519 a month for life at 65, or he can get $38,800 now. They had other options starting at 55 (this is an early buy out offer). But I already discarded them. Its from a company he hasn't...

http://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/mbti-basics/the-16-mbti-types.htm?bhcp=1 So I want to thank Midpack for posting this link for me. I had never heard of such a thing, and after I googled it , I only found 1 definition, and I couldn't even understand that. This link cleared...

OK, In layman's terms what will this do to stocks and bonds????

About 2 weeks ago before Harvey and Irma hit, I got a few online quotes about the value of my car that I was sure I was going to be gifting to someone in the near future. I was just curious about its value. Well I just got an email from webuyanycar, and it said the value of my used car went...

So my wife's dear niece and her husband, young couple, 2 small boys. Getting some kind of deal that they wont have to pay PMI, with a 3% down loan. Now they call and say they arent required to buy title insurance. I only own this house, I have no clue about these things. I told them I was...

If anyone remember an old post of mine I had told my wife's dead broke uncle when the sp500 reaches 2500 Ill give him my car. Well I made the call Saturday evening. Around Christmas 2014 the SP500 was at about 2000, I asked whoever was in charge of the tv remote at my mother in laws house can...

So, I know the situation for tax deferred holdings might be different, but for my regular investments. If I die and I leave it all to my wife, will she get the date of death base value? Im positive Im going first. If we put all the assets into my name and she is the beneficiary, when...

This is why Im bitter, Im always getting ripped off, robbed, rooked, scammed, lied to, and gypped. I decided to have a lawn service do my 857 sq feet of green. I pay almost 500 bucks. They are going to come I believe 8 times, mind you they dont mow it ,they just put down the feedings, weed...

Just saw a chart on TV, EM vs SP 500 they are in a dead heat since 1990(when the EM started). They are only outperforming in the last year. Interesting. Maybe this is what John Bogle means with just buy the US,

For the last few days from my deck & balcony, and front stoop I can see the Blue search lights that occupy and mimic the Old World Trade towers. An awesome sight, and very sobering:(. Called my old partner who has since retired to Florida. He has no power due to the storm , but he has cell...

Does anyone know where I can get a NEW, classic type personalized shaving mug. Like the ones I see on the web from the 1920's? Hand lettered in real gold. With a nice picture of maybe my old occupation, and my name or initials. I found even a collectors website, but nothing on anyone that makes...

For the forum members that were investing in mutual funds since 1980, I read the market averaged 16% plus for 18 years. Thats a long run. Did you stay the course? Did you re-balance? Did you cash out? Change your AA? If you remember, did you find the yearly returns unbelievable...

Im flipping channels, I see a folically-challenged suit saying "The Correction Has Already Begun". I cant even enjoy the rest of my 4th mug of coffee. He is non stop telling us why the sky is about to fall, algorithms, China, European banks,T-bill auctions, printing money, debt, oil crash. I...

I was boo-hooing about how its almost impossible to get my mother out of the house to go to a doctor. I really cant get her into the car without man handling her. I found a Doctor that comes to the house, I cant believe it, in 2017 Doctors still do home visits. They came 2 days after i called...

So, of course I tried to fix my old energy gobbling dehumidifier. After an hour of "fixing" it , I had to order a new one.:facepalm:. I get the same brand as before, as it gave me 4 .5 years of service. I dont buy it because of the energy star label, I buy it because the white one was $229 and...

I just got an email from a high ranking official at the FBI . For the mere sum of $180 USD I can receive 16.5 Million USD from...... you ready for this? The Minister of Cambodia Excellency Hun Sen. I wonder if they would...

With a little google work I just discovered that the money we pay into social security is invested 100 % in treasuries. I remember in the early 80's when "they" redid the formula for full retirement age as i was affected. So this running out of money/ shortfall is not a new phenomena. So why...

I dont want my post to be the kiss of death to this late day rally. But Ill take a chance. If in the next 25 minutes the rally collapses Ill take the blame. If on the other hand if it continues to end at a record, I would like some of the credit. I was cheering aloud when i was flipping the...

My take away is. "you aint getting what you thought you were". They offer a few suggestions, those who have children and grandchildren will love it. It goes something like this "raise their taxes"...
