This is my biggest fear. I'm drawing a military pension and contributing 15% to TSP. Stashing away the max to a Roth IRA for my wife and I. I realize there's no guarantee the pension, FERS, SS and TSP will be there for our golden years.

Ill be in your same boat in the not too distant future...Military pension, etc, etc...


I think if politicians try to mess with either the pension or folks' TSP accounts then their would be riots and full scale civil war...


However, the writing is on the wall...


Call me a conspiracy theorist if you want but I think coastalite is right...confiscating IRA's is already being looked at as a possiblity.


Right now, there are a lot of "random" shootings going on...creating catalyst to ban firearms or make it really hard to get them...
are they really random?

Once that happens...the politicians can have their way and confiscate away...


I'm just saying...everything is planned in my opinion...its all a matter of timing!

It takes many, many years to invoke and create change in a society...especially when a given freedom is considered an inherent freedom all men are allowed to enjoy...Democrats know this to be an inherent flaw to the American way of life and a major obstacle they have to over come to induce their socialist agenda...so they have to play their cards right, play them purposefully, and play them at the right time.


These are just my thoughts and opinions....I'm just saying!


Only time will tell if I'm right...

Cheers!
 
Since the current round of QE once again appears open ended, that raises the probability that a QE fueled rally may surpass in length the previous rallies. It should be noted that in 2014 we may be approaching the hard down phases of the 40 and 60 year Kress cycle - that may be extended with the great rotation out of bonds but one must remain cognizant of the potential pain especially if you are 100% long small caps. Just so you know.
 
Hmmmm....I'm going to have to do some more reading and research on this Kress cycle you speak of...a quick google search gave an interesting read on the subject...it basically said that the whole ball of wax would come crashing down in 2014 sometime and then start the turn back up from there, (if I understood that correctly)...I'll google it again when I get home and try and learn more...

Thanks, BT.

The riots will start by the free-loaders when the government runs out of funds to pay for EBT, disability and unemployment.
 
My oceanic account managed to squeak by for another week: +$35K, +$34K, +$80K, -$5K, -$44K for a nice gain of +$100K. This is the third week of +$100K gains. Now if only next week gives me another +$100K gain September will be my best month in 2013 so far anyway. I remember in May 2012 the market took -$427K out of my pocket and now it returns in the worst month of the year - that's karma.

I hope you get another $100K this month. I might pick up a few $100 gains also.
 
Nobody seems too happy with this bull market, because they don't trust it or are no longer in it. My belief is that the longer the bull market runs, the bigger you should go. When the dollar moves down into an intermediate cycle trough it generates strong gains in asset prices. Mindylou reminds me often that slow, dull, and boring gets the prize everytime, not some of the time. This could be approaching a nervous week but for the contrarian investor able to brave the pessimisim it's a buying opportunity. If my oceanic account can get a positive gain in the next six trading days of +$56K I'll have made +1M in nine months and I'll have done it by sitting still.
 
Vanguard MSCI Europe ETF (VGK) owns the biggest 350 companies by market value. Seems like now would be an excellent purchase to set and forget.
 
Now that brother RFW is apparently on banishment vacation for probably a few days - this makes him eligible for conjugal visitation.
