Prudent behavior, seeking long term investment returns instead of short term.

I have read a number of articles which claim the first several years after retirement one is the most vulnerable since wages are no longer coming in and one is dependent upon an income stream from your savings/investments.  There are a number of actions you can take to prepare for the worst during this time while retaining significant investments for the long term return.

Hopefully what we've done will prove wise over the long term. We have assets set aside; some invested.  We have no debt.  We sold our home and downsized into something affordable.  We have a stockpile of food and paper goods if needed.  We can go without new clothes, eating out, vacations, etc. etc.  Never ever expected to retire rich, our only hope is to be comfortable and if we are lucky; age in place.

You made my point.  Both of them are equally stupid and nauseating.

Every word you said makes you seemingly well-planned, unlike many of the snowflakes who spend it all and will have their hands out waiting for the government to give them something.

In my own case, I have some land that I can grow potatoes on if need be.

So your personal TDS requires that you connect the market, to him?

Funny thing I learned decades ago: markets go up and down. Expansions do end.



THANK YOU!  When the market is good..IT IS NEVER TO PRESIDENT TRUMPS CREDIT.  Funny how that works.

  When market goes down....'his fault"... 

Kids in kindergarten should know by now.  MARKET GOES UP & DOWN.....DAILY.

Market is up today, presumably because of "hopes for a cut in interest rates and for a resolution in the U.S.-Mexico trade dispute..."  according to the Associated Press. 

Tomorrow Trump will heat up his trade war and the markets will plunge again.

He hardly screws things up. We are having a period of prosperity and relative peace.

I hope we heat up the trade war with China, who have been taking advantage of us for years as we contemplate the Tiananmen Square massacre on this day, huge human rights abusers. I hope we withdraw trade from Cuba, a deal that never should have gone through either.

Hardly, you are just libeling others. In this manner, that's pretty bad.

So are you going to encourage your hero to take me to court?  Good luck with that.   :silly:

You are just out there drumming up BS.

Trump has been talking about improving our trade imbalance by tariffs since he got elected.  And he has acted on it.

And what has the stock market done?

The DOW was 17,888 on November 4, 2016 and today stands at 25,332.

A little reminder:  It reacts to expectations of what will happen in the future for the most part, so any of these potential actions by Trump are likely already factored in.

Nah.  What we say and do there doesn't damage any reputations beyond damaging each other's.  that's why we (and most other fora) don't like personal attacks on Members.

Well, he did heat it up and guess what?  Dow is up over 900 pts so far this week.

How long do you keep posting prognostications decidedly wrong?

Not quite.  The market jumps were due in part, to some optimism that the Mexico tarriffs might not happen because of some possible progress in negotiations between the US and Mexico.  Another factor had to do with a possible rollback of interest rates by the feds. 

But when the negotiations fall apart and this supposed interest rate rollback doesn't happen, the markets will be down again.
