no good way. You could sell CAD against the other majors and buy USD against the other majors, but that is far from a perfect hedge. Why not just close out enough to take the 10k and let the rest ride?

oh I get it, you mean the 85% underperform? I forget who publishes that. But it's about the same every year. Remember the total return includes the performance fee and that alone draws them down below the index. That and trading costs, and then you have cap gains taxed on top of that. Just check...

yes, anybody can see them. Just check the ten year or five year return on spy or VTSMX

watching the dem debate. Bernie is very misguided about Wall Street. He talks about "workers" and how bad they have it. What he doesn't understand is on Wall Street, the "speculators" are the workers. Why tax the Wall Street "workers" when they do what they have to do which is trade? Why not tax...

no actually, I'm a big believer in local ownership of local resources I'm also a hardcore libertarian, but my socialist message has been corrupted by politics into free stuff, and my libertarian message has been corrupted into Lassies Last Fair

yes, I think in trading they call that a trend many a man has gone broke betting against a trend that seems suspicious

insurance is always expensive unless you are so lucky as to have something really bad happen to you

Makes perfect sense to me. If 20 show up for a caucus and ten are for and ten are against how do you decide who wins? Wait until one defects or just flip a coin. If you want mob rule, well, then one man one vote and welcome to being governed by the most populated state.

oh yeah, that is just great, only a democrat would think being employed is a good thing. I'm a hardcore socialist, I think everybody should own everything. Maximum employment to me means we have failed. I want maximum ownership. People tend to take better care of things they own.

I agree. The media is totally untrustworthy. That is why I never post anything they write. These are confusing times. One thing you can be sure of is nothing you read is true.

I don't think you appreciate how the narrative will change once she is the democrat nominee. It will be us against the whole world. We are not just talking FOX and CNN. We are talking People Magazine, HBO, Late night TV...on and on. Hillary will give the world a loving break from the...

yeah, I would agree. At some point a guy has to figure out what is practical. For my grandkids that have many years to live I just put them in the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index. When their parents get nervous I tell them they own everything. Every burrito they buy and every text they send is...

we could do it incrementally like the communists do. Start with a law that every ballot must have a "none of the above" option

The employment mandate was just another monkey placed on their backs by democrats who don't understand money

My new law is, nobody is elected President unless they get 51% of the vote. And that doesn't mean just the people that voted, that means 51% of the population. How bad could it be that we go through a few months with no President?

maybe so, but very few Americans, libertarians, or Christians, or Jews, or Democrats (and of course republicans) like Muslims. Obama has a lame duck uphill battle. Trump has a downward Nan Tucket sleigh ride.

Carpet bombing is illegal, and Trump is the most likely to never get us in a war because he has nothing to prove. After 4 years he may bomb somebody on the Fourth of July just to satisfy the blood thirsty masses.

Johnson did it to the blacks, making them life long democrats. Forget 2017, you must look ahead. Another 15 million voters who have Obama and the democrats to thank. And the funny thing is, the blacks don't really like the thought of more legal Mexicans.

two senators disagree and they don't evn know what the topic is yet

nobody thought we could deport 11 million until Trump came along. So they are going to see his 11 million and raise him another 11 million. Let's see if he can call 22 million
