Everything encourages you to be a buyer!

Isn't that the truth...

Being in the market, from the time you invest until you die you will never lose.

Also buy and hold will alway beat the timers over a lifetime.

Just saying! Ha

Sorry to fill up your account talk, Frixxxx, but were all friends here right?

JTH- Oh, the great debate! Buy and Hold vs. Trading.

Proving my first comment is easy, a 30 yr investment of buy and hold dollar cost averaging ends in the green. So really you can't lose in TSP, especially if you adjust yearly.

My second comment can be debated and debated. For me I know buy and hold dollar cost averaging will outperform my trading efforts given any year and definitely over a lifetime. This simplifies it for me and increases my returns avoiding my screw ups of being out of the market. I'm not as worried about the loses, I will use bear markets to increase my contributions if I am not already maxed out, and if it so happens to drop 40% the year I planned to retire I will ride it out as it will return within a few years. There are many here much smarter than me and I believe the buy and hold will outperform the majority. You being one of the smarter, I thank you for you posts as many here help me to adjust my TSP account as needed. I hope some of the traders here are rewarded (because of your efforts and helping others) but it’s not a risk I am willing to take.

Buy and hold is not my way...It is a style that never suited me. I can show case after case where it can be beat. I love this site for it....

That being said...

I like the post Pill.... Thanks for a very great discussion!

Crashed my motorcycle today...25 brand new stitches in my leg cause the foot peg poked through it!:blink: Will see what the insurance company says now...I'm fine...AND NO...NO April fools! Will post pics as soon as I can get them off my phone!

Have a great weekend all!

Been there before. Take the 25 stitches and call it a day, it could have been worse. Glad to hear you are alright.

Glad you're ok, the whole "death" thing sucks! I needed to give up my bike a few years back, I already crashed it 2 times too many

I quit riding Murdercycles years ago, it seems folks just don't see you sometimes and pull out right in front of you. Happened to me twice, I quit! Hope your leg and the road rash heal quickly consider yourself lucky!

 

[RealMoneyIssues]

Wishing and Praying for your quick recovery !!

 

[Lostdawg]

Dang, hope it's just the flesh wound as you said, with no nerve or other damage. Also hope the ride is OK. Otherwise, you'll have to go shopping for another one and we all know that's no fun . Ride year round down here on the Gulf Coast only pausing for the nastiest weather. Hope you don't have the same issues I do. Wife says I get cranky when I haven't ridden for a few days. Stay safe and wish you a speedy recovery.

Really glad you're mostly ok.

I have a good friend who lived through two motorcycle accidents. One very serious. Glad to hear you were one of the lucky ones.
