So you’re basically losing money in all your shit attempting to time it, and missing the gains and compound growth of 10% per year.

That’s not how you build wealth. That’s how you lose money.  Talk about emotional investing and ignoring history.  You’re losing money every single day, guaranteed.

So…at what price will you “get back in”?  How long will you wait to “get back in”  how much money are you willing to lose before you “get back in”

You’re emotionally scared of loss, choosing guaranteed loss…just not as much. That means you’re scared of gains.

The last 30 years you enjoyed the fruits of the Fed pushing your stocks and home value up and attribute that success to your own investing acumen. Now you're fighting them. Good luck

Fired my advisor, two months ago. 65 retired I put 60% in Fidelity  s&p 500 index fund .
Other 40% in cds paying 5.65 for one year and money market paying 4.9%

? Maybe I should find a new guy or use fidelity’s robot advisor.

But today this is what I’m doing . Don’t plan on cashing in my IRA until the wife is gone . And she has all hers in a money market.
Only taking interest at this time .

At what price will you “get back in”. Or are you sitting on cash waiting for the crash you are so sure will happen?

After we just crashed into bear, following history bear market length and entered bull.

This time is not different. I don’t have any special acumen. I have long term history and this brand new thing called “buy low” and outpace inflation.

The one trick the Wall Street fat cats don’t want you to know.

So we met with our CFP today. Going to do a little tax loss harvesting again. The cap gains gains have been so good this year it’s best if I take a loss on losers. Even though I have carry over losses from last year to offset gains.

Meh. I called 4600.  Just like I nailed it two years ago.

History is a thing. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Equity products are not FDIC insured an have risk of loss. yada yada.

Just checked my 401k, barely 3 years since starting. 150k. Not bad for 3 years.

“But spidey that’s not so great!  Your 3 year return is barely keeping up with inflation!  Haha”

I won’t touch that money for 10 years. The money I WILL touch has been compounding for 30 years.

So diversify your investments. Taxable, various tax deferred, etc. tax diversification is as important as asset allocation.

If your concerned about tax law changes then tax diversification is the best thing you can do.  My biggest expense by far is taxes. Today, and tomorrow.

I get that. But where is your income going and building wealth?  40% bonds in a bull market?

You predicted crash. But no crash. So you went to safe money (losing money). What did you sell and when to flee to bonds?

Are you happy with your prediction?

Keep plowing the 401k.  If you need short term cash then MM is fine.

Short term liquidity is under 3 year IMHO.  Stonks are 5-10y

i've said before -- when Obama was elected and after the GFC -- i thought it was TEOTW as far as capitalism was concerned.   switched way too much out of equities.  missed several nice UP years waiting for the socialists to destroy everything.

turns out -- the socialists (Dems) love $$$ just as much as we do.
