$450 but that was 39 years ago. Nearly half of my net worth at the time. Marriage and ring seems to have lasted longer than most.

An ETF unlike a mutual fund is valued at what a party is willing to pay. Therefore its price may be at either a discount (less than the value of its holdings) or a premium (more than the value of its holdings) Agree with above that if the "disconnect" gets too great someone would sweep in ...

Was thinking of selling my VEA as I have long term gains and buying VIUS. Would there be "significant difference" in the two so I would not have to worry about a wash sale.

this is in a taxable account and part of my international stock allocation.

You can't just pick a field because of salary. You cannot discount the years of suffering that are involved in getting an advanced degree such as medicine and law. For medicine it's 4 years Bachelors, 4 years medical school, 3-10 years residency/fellowship. You cannot discount the student debt that ...

Having recently gone thru two family deaths, where I and my wife served as executors; I can only imagine what a night mare it would be without a will. The state will basically decide where any property goes. This site may give you an idea of whats in store. http://livingtrustnetwork.com/estate-plann...

Have had a gold band for 38 years and not worn out yet. Does get a little tight at times.

"In 2010, Stockman agreed to pay $7.2 million to settle a lawsuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission that claimed he had misled investors as chief executive officer of Collins & Aikman Corp., a maker of auto parts. "

consider the source.

Just more noise.

Agree with most of the other posters that it doesn't seem to be a good idea to co-sign a loan unless you are willing to take over the payment. (Worst case ) And unfortunately the worst case can and sometimes does happen.

If you know it will go to 31 wait and sell it then. Or if this is a good investment why sell at all. If this is a speculation then gamble.

All the big institutions want to get in before the end of quarter so it would look like they have been carrying winners all along.

Or maybe not....

Does anyone have an Umbrella Liability policy and if so how do you determine how much to have it insure? (ie the amount) This would be over and above regular homeowners and car insurance.

Precisely why I would not want to live in NYC or any other large metro area. They are nice places to visit though. I'll keep my 16 acres in the hills of Tennessee.

Seriously date ? Yes................ Enter into a legal contract with an impoverished lawyer (ie marriage)...............mmmm not so much.

In answer to the original question.

Rebalance and stay the course.

Presently I have several different retirement plans. A 401K with my present employer. A Roth and traditional IRA. And two 403B accounts. One with TIAA-Cref and the other with Valic. I have been thinking about trying to simplify the number of accounts and am considering rolling the Valic over to my t...

How old are your?

Thanks for the suggestions. The town she is in is High Point , NC I may call the law school at Wake Forest which is the nearest one . If anyone has any contacts in that area let me know. Thanks

My mother wants to set up a trust for my disabled sister and would like me to handle this. The problem is she lives 200 miles away in another state. My mother also wants to use someonein her local town. My question is how do I find a competent affordable lawyer not knowing anyone in that area. The o...

IMHO.

1:2 Just finished my residency. 280ZX 1980 Loved that car but not very practical. Traded it in on a miniVan 3 years later.

I have one daughter and I said I would give her 25K or a big wedding. She can choose. We will see if she is a boglehead.

Been a family physician for past 30 years Most I ever made was last year 180K. If you are making 135K now giving up that job for the next 7-10 years your will never come out ahead. (from a financial point of view) But if you really enjoy helping others and making lots of money is not your goal then ...

long term bonds are definately out of favor.

Is it worthwhile to put money in a Non-deductable IRA. I contribute max to 401K. Have an IRA from earlier and Roth. AGI too high to do the Roth this year or a traditionable deductable IRA. I realize the earnings would be taxed deferred. I would want to keep this seperate from my deductable IRA (book...

Thanks for the input. I got a copy of all the contracts and will be trying to sort out the details. Will be contacting this agent. You guys are very supportive.

I have not been involved in my parents financial decisions in the past, but my father recently passed away and as coexecutor to his estate I learned more than I wanted to know. He was not a wealthy man in monetary terms but lived a simple lifestyle with my mother. I discovered that they both have Eq...
