@vanzandt If in doubt, just give your likes to me ! :D
What rubbish ! The "larger players" are, as you put it, "excessively risk averse" because they know the market a lot better than you do (they've...
Is it ? I'm a serious investor, but I couldn't give a toss about Buffett's (or anyone else's for that matter) newsletter.
What a stupid post. Everybody (except you, obviously) knows that risk increases exponentially with returns once you go above 5% .... i.e. the...
The above comment also applies to backtesting. Which many portray as a panacea, but many end up over-relying on it, and most do backtesting...
You sir, need to find yourself a suitable professional advisor. Tax, pensions and all that jazz is quite complicated, and I'm not sure you'll be...
The only thing "straight forward" in finance is a bank account, everything else gets progressively more complicated ! The theory of bonds is...
