A new year, and new data- so it’s time to reassess where I am. I liked what I read about the “new” I fund being very different from the old I fund- enough that I decided I’m going to park more over in the new I.

Moving to:

C= 30%
S= 40%
I = 30%

Effective close of business tomorrow. I’m thinking , after reading more about the real reason we just took Venezuela out- I’m thinking that the world is where I am going to want to be. Hedge my bets against a U.S. crash by boosting the growing economies. Good luck.

(Seeing some wild stories about the dollar, and Muduro’s deal to sell to the Chinese in Yuan instead of dollars makes me think the dollar has much, much further to fall).

Update- with that tariff ruling, the pressure of “how will markets react?” Seems relieved.

So I’m going to venture more towards the I fund, while still keeping fully invested across all three stock funds. Moving to 25% C, 25% S, and a hefty 50% in the I fund, effective on Monday. That’s an increase from 32% currently to 50%. I’m following the trend. Good luck.

(Note- I look on the auto tracker for the last two weeks- the majority of people who have earned over 9% so far this year are almost all moving to “G” rather than to I, which is where the majority of folks seem to be adding. Maybe I’m too early. Oh well, here we go!)

There is some potential unpleasantness in the cards, which may be driving the G migration.

The only thing I seen was "Hydrate. Pace yourself. It's a long speech".
Me and George Stagg are prepared.
What is the over/under on "Greatest Ever"?

I'm planning on playing trivia with my younger daughter and her family. Going out to grab a bite, have a drink and a good time. I'll catch the highlights or lowlights later.

I'll have to catch the cliff notes, I hope the Dems don't wear some stupid button or pink hats, the best thing they can do for their dignity is to not attend.

Like tearing up the speech on National TV like a 3rd grader.

Like tearing up the speech on National TV like a 3rd grader.

Or screaming nonsense like Lauren Boebert and MTG

What are the odds on "bigly?"

• incredible (once, "incredible and exceptional nation")
• america first (once, "I put America first")
• beautiful (twice, like "beautiful but very, very dangerous wild West")
• worst (once, "worst inflation")

Minor observation: He did not use the word Constitution once....
