    Seeking to set-up long-term portfolio: 50% VOO, 20% VXUS, 20% VB, and 10% BND?

    You are right if investor is not getting any advice. I'm coming at it from a different (and somewhat biased) angle, I'm with a BD. If I'm doing what I get paid to do, I think I can create a better solution. Even after my 1% vig.

    Serious question: Do you know what blockchain is and how it works?..... I do but only to a certain level. That is why I'm invested in companies (MGTI) specific to block chain development, BTC mining and security. I have no clue as to where the price of BTC going, but I think there is merit in...

    Seeking to set-up long-term portfolio: 50% VOO, 20% VXUS, 20% VB, and 10% BND?

    Have to disagree here. No way a 65 yr old with a 20-25 tr life expectancy should not have a market outlook approach when making investment decisions. TDF's are a product that strives to give the illusion of managing assets. They are cheap and easy to create and distribute, protect 401k...

    Seeking to set-up long-term portfolio: 50% VOO, 20% VXUS, 20% VB, and 10% BND?

    So here is my question on target date funds. They adjust the portfolio with absolutely no regard to market outlook. If you hit an age threshold , selling stocks buying bonds no matter where in the market/economic cycle. If rates are moving up, still getting long duration. Equities just...

    Korean crypto exchange Youbit hacked again, files for bankruptcy

    But the crappy bank was a component of the strategy, just as crappy security is a component of crypto (at least in this case). As of now it is a cost of doing business. For crypto to be successful this cost has to be reduced.

    Bitcoin Price Thread

    A lot of "The January" effect comes from pre existing allocation plans. Not sure BTC is under that umbrella. Also, I think many investors (me included) are looking at ways to play the block chain tecnology/infrastructure as opposed to a individual "currency". In last nights/today's bloodbath...

    Looking to relocate. But to where?

    Of course they loved you after '08. Obama was the apologist to the world and giving away the store. No different than smart money loving a dumb trader to take the other side.
