Re: ift
As if this week was not confirmation enough.
Stocks are more overvalued now than at 2000 and 2007 peaks - MarketWatch
Argh. I guess this means being 50% C and 50% S is not a recommended allocation at this time. rutro.

Re: ift
Read some Hussman, FE, may add some helpful perspective that complements Marketwatch for you. He's been talking the overvaluation for years now, along the way he's worked out nuances that improve the investment timing perspective, took him awhile but I think he's got it figured out finally. We'll see.

Re: ift
Well these big down days sure are depressing. When the smoke clears where will we be, dunno.
My hunch is we have a bit more pain coming, 400-500 more points on the DOW but that's really just a guestimate.
Could we be starting a protracted painful Bear Market? Some think we are already there. Or are we just shaking the trees to make room for some new fruit?
2016 is going to be a wild ride.

Re: ift
Yes...it's been tough for sure but I'm right there with ya brother! I've been very close to running back to the "G" fund with my tail squarely tucked between my legs but turned off the 'puter and went outside to the shop and got busy. I am also trying to ride this thing out so hopefully today will give us a little relief and hope.
Good luck to ya....LS

Re: ift
Obviously I would have preferred to have a different TSP allocation when the market turned south but I will not fear the down turn or a bear market.
There is risk in everything we do. Drive to work, eat at Chipolte, mow your lawn etc.
Reminds me of a story back in 2009, coworker friend of mine complaining about the melt down, 1 year away from retirement. I ask what their allocation was, 100% across the board C, S and I. You enjoy the reward, you accept the pain.
Hedge your bets folks and make sure Time is a factor when making decisions.

Re: ift
Lucky for some that the G Fund returns are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
Bernanke says Fed likely to add negative interest rates to recession-fighting tool kit - MarketWatch
Of course negative rates have never tested that guarantee.

Re: ift
Well I stayed away for a while. I'm still in the whole YTD but having a good March is making the digging much easier. Today looks to give a bit back though.
I've been busy locking up a land deal on Lake Livingston in Texas for my Honeys retirement home.
Hope everyone is doing well.Similar threads
