Total capitulation in the Commodity arena today....the selloff is massive and panic is in the air. Stop being hit, margin calls, all out panic. My call is that Equities and Bonds will be soon to follow. When the HFT algorithms get a sniff of a downtrend, all hell will break loose, and we...

Piezone, I don't agree with you on how you think it will turn out, but I must say, I hope you ARE right. I have much worse feelings on this subject, as I think the bubble has been re-inflated to new levels, and we are setting ourselves up for catastrophe, as we continue to pass the baton (or...

I'll certainly agree with you on the inheritance factor, but his inability to recognize what he inherited when he assumed his position is a BIG minus against him. I believe that his initial purchasing actions were justified, but I truly believe that he reached diminishing returns with this...

You know that the HFT's and Institutional money is going to push the DOW into all-time record territory today or tomorrow. And every day, this rubber band stretches more and more. Heck, we may see DOW 15,000 before the Equity Implosion begins (that is, the Rubber Band snaps). And when it...

I hated that new version - hard to read, and a real turnoff. Thanks for rolling back to the original. Some good things are just better left alone.

So, how so we claim our refunds???

The calm before the long-awaited storm.

Ah, now I understand where your posts are originating from...

Yeah, agreed. Come on guys, are we really playing a semantics game here - you know exactly what I'm talking about. When I go to the doctor and treat my "cold" and the insurance company codes it "medical illness", aren't we talking the same thing here? Some of you must be working for the...

I am so sick and tired of the government quoting Core CPI rates being so low, and excluding anything and everything that is contributing to this rise. I live in NY, USA, and estimate that I've seen inflation increase overall by 7-8 %, year-over-year. Here are some examples of what I've...

I do think there are 2 exceptions to what I stated: 1) Going to a Top Tier 1 Private College (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, etc.) can pay for itself in increased earnings (with the right major, of course) and 2) Going to a School because it's the only school offering a specialty...

I don't see anyone addressing the real problem here - the College Scam. I just read that this past year's High School graduating class will have 70% of its members attend a 4-year college, with over 50% of these High School grads obtaining 4-year college degrees. With these kind of #'s, a...

The higher this thing goes, and the more this rubberband is stretched, the harder it's gonna fall, when it does. The big question is when, not if.

Hence, the reason I started this thread.

Thanks for the info. I did a lot of research on this, this week. I am rolling an old Putnam-based Employer sponsored 401K account to my TD Ameritrade Solo 401K, which I established for my business about 10 years ago. Not all Solo 401K plans "accept" rollovers such as these, but TD Ameritrade...

Agreed, and already giving preference to Vanguard.

Funny that you should mention this website. I discovered it this week, since I was looking into tax implications of rolling one of my 401K accounts over to another one of my 401K accounts. It is a great site, and lots for me to sink my teeth into. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks again, Cutten. I appreciate the advice. I'll look into this further, and I do agree with you, diversification is very important. I still have an eye out, however, for the fact that most Asset Classes are at Bubble levels. I may increase diversification, yet ratchet down on allocation...

Thanks!

Yeah, I know we differ on that, but I just updated my post from 1/2 an hour ago to include a piece I left out......the closer we move towards Lows, the more aggressive the allocation to non-cash assets becomes. To avoid churn and high commissions, re-balance is done twice per year. Again, my...
