Aloha RMI !

How's life treating you at the Bahrain Four Seasons?

Anything nefarious going on in that part of the world you'd like to share? :blink:

Take care...it's just not the same around here without that angst. :D

Getting a little warm here... and its not all because its summer near the equator...
 
I have officially dropped off the 90 day poster list, but feel a need to jump back up to the top 10. No guarantees it won't just be ranting and I will try to keep the politics in the political thread... although I can only handle some of the idiocy over there in small chunks...

I will also try to re-invigorate the OCD... again, no promises... publicly available system/tracking data is falling off, so if you have any ideas of info out there to include, let me know.

I have some (not a ton) of free time, so I can slowly get back into this. These last 2 years have not been great to my investment accounts, yet TSP chugs along to some extent. Don't let this months PIP fool you, last year was horrible in the middle of the year, so my PIP should drop off back to around 12% here over the next couple months.

The economy still sucks (FWM/James, leave any expected replies in the political forum because there is NOTHING you can tell me here that convinces me otherwise) because I see the increased costs of all basic goods and have had to adjust my budget several times over the last couple years to compensate for those extra costs (food especially, but add energy(heat, cooling, gas) to the list too). If everything is so grand, why is actual inflation going up (you know the stuff they don't count), wages stay stagnant, job participation going down, and hope for a better future (that doesn't involve government hand outs - personal OR corporate) dwindling???

Any way, I look forward to meeting the new people that have some around since I dropped off and renewing friendships with those that have been here awhile... Burro, be nice

Have a great week-end!!!
 
Aloha and welcome back to your cyber home (didn't I just say that?)

Are you back on the mainland, or still deployed?

Glad to hear you'll be posting again. Are you telling us that you are a kinder, gentler RMI and that your rants, I mean posts, are going to be toned down? C'mon, man ... We're all good here. :laugh:

Anyone else feel like it's August 2011?

Yes, but was 2011 really that bad. I lost two and a half points. Just a beer or two soothed my pride. Now, 2008 was a very different story. Really did not like that one.

My plan - already implemented - is to add a little more risk for a little more return now. Then have a moderate to speedy bailout plan if the losses exceed 12%. You have to give the market 5% to move around. I actually expect a Santa Claus Rally!!!

True, but it would be nice to not have to ride a loss before regaining it back... glad you are in a safe spot...

Well, Aug 2011 was about 20%

We just hit 10% and unless this intraday bounce has any legs, we may be in for some more pain... well, for those of us crazy enough to be in C, S, or I...

What the heck is going on with bonds, I mean, really??? If this has any truth in reality then we should be concerned, seriously concerned, about bond yields...
 
You are watching fear moving into bonds. This tends to happen when QE is ending - so maybe we get another QE.
