I'm sorry if my belief that we should all do our part to make the world a better place offends you. It is a crazy, Trumpian kind of thing, I know. I feel so bad for you, having such an awful code of morals pushed on you. Some day you'll realize that there's more to life than whatever rat race you're caught up in. Or not, and you'll die a bitter old man. Hopefully not the latter. Good luck regardless.
That advice comes from someone with plenty bank and hedge fund trading experience. But that aside. It's sad you resort to personal attacks rather than stick to the topic at hand. Fact remains someone close to retirement should only have a small fraction of his savings invested in stocks. Simple as that. That is the most sound advise you will get in regards to this specific topic. PS a small tip, a little bond math refresher may work wonders.
you have used that phrase before. do what you have to do to avoid that fate, if that is your desire. is dying a bitter old man an obsession of yours?
The real conversation here should be about what Tim Kaine will do, because I think she is going to get much worse health-wise. Watch her motions when she exits the podium and shakes hands with the moderator. She walks very slow and deliberate, like someone who is drunk would walk in church, or in front of a cop at a DUI checkpoint. She has something going on in her head. Inner ear. Vertigo. Something. And afterwords, at the interview back in her airplane, she had the bobble-head thing going on and the goofy eyes. I'm no doctor, but something is not right. This is not conspiracy banter, I just call em like I see em and there's something wrong. At a minimum, she is not strong enough physically to handle the rigors of this job. _____________And ZZZzz1... dude you don't even live in this country, or so you said, but now you write like you are a citizen. Make up your mind. And nobody "stalks" you, I just was reading this thread and saw that you posted that you were "holier than thou" and I had to throw up the bullsh*t flag. And you did call me all those names. I don't have to post a link. Grow up, and get a life. Get laid or something dude, because you write and opine like you think you are so intelligent, but in reality, your words show that you are not. You are one-sided and blind to other opinions, yet quick to judge and criticize. That my friend, is the sign of a lower IQ. Just keepin' it real my friend. And do not reply. If you feel you must, start a new thread in Chit-Chat and title it "The Kindergarten". You can rule the playground.
1.i did not attack you personally. 2. now you again show that you are clueless. no financial planner would give your advice which is prima facie ridiculous without knowing age expectancy and the financial situation of the person in question. would you give this advice to a 60 year old man with a pension and life expectancy of 20years? no one worth his salt would give out advice to go 90 percent in bonds. again you showed your lack of understanding by saying that a person should go into 2 year duration bonds. 3. it is doubtful that hedge fund experience has much to do with retirement advice. it if does show me.
Oh my god, leave it to the Italian to disregard corruption! The people considering voting for Trump are basing it on Hillary's PROVEN track record of selling to the highest bidder time and time again. Trump's intention is clear as day, big ego yes, but break up our Government & media propaganda cartel that been growing exponentially since Obama took office. When the vote is split roughly 50/50 but 99% of the voices being heard are in support of the ruling party, you might as well call the U.S. North Korea with a few more internet sites. EDIT: Fact check 90% of Clinton Foundation's $2 billion funds go towards humanitarian efforts. That means a whopping $200 million goes towards operations? Charity rating agencies won't even rate the foundation because of it's 'atypical' business model. Source: New York Times (pre election year) P.S. Clintons have amassed $200 million plus over the past two decades. Not bad for a couple people that have never worked a day in their life.
This is the entire point, genius. Trump wants to lower the corporate tax rate to bring corporation back to the U.S. Hillary wants to open the borders so she can tax more immigrants to keep her fat bloated gov't ponzi scheme going.
i wouldn't say that. it takes plenty of planning, kicking ass and occasional ass licking to accumulate the $200M that they have.
Fine, then let's call them entrepreneurs because they are working for themselves. Intent in the business world is quite obvious. The competitive spirit is taught in the U.S, come as close as you can to breaking the rules to gain an edge without breaking them - much like Mr. Trump has done. When you are in public office, intent is a much much more complex issue. These Clinton bums have proven time and time again their intent is much different than their public persona. That is much more dangerous than any of the feces being slung at Trump. Personally, I truly cannot believe so many people equally weigh Trump's character to proven corruption against Hillary. That is just being another 5 cent hooker for the DNC.
