I will be able to attend. I look forward to it.

I would like to attend, but I wont know until the 5th or 6th if I will be able to make it...

I have nothing to contribute but thanks to all that have...

I will be referencing this thread next time I log on Netflix.

One of the issues is that he looks at day trading and market timing as ways to reduce risk.

A close family member is becoming bored as he nears retirement and is convinced that he should start trading. I know I want no part of it, but he is relentless... What would be a good book to dissuade him? We have had many discussions on the topic, but I am not getting through. Personal finance, bud...

Hello everyone... I am finally able to crawl out of the hole that I dug for myself! Unfortunately, at my current level of income, paying down my high interest debt and building my ER will be a multi-year proposition. I am looking for higher income, but until then... I would like to hear your thought...

Thanks for all of the links. They will provide some great reading.

I was wanting to do some reading of the advice, attitude, and thoughts of this board during 2008 and early 2009. What are some favorite threads from the last time the world was going to end?

I just chimed in to say that your estimation of 6 months of livings expenses as the average is a bit off... :wink: I think LESS than the 'average' emergency fund would be very scary. I am sure someone has researched what the "average" person has for emergencies and I would be shocked if it...

Thanks for all of the info.

It is exactly what I was after when I posted this topic!

What resources do you turn to to gather historical returns of asset classes? Do you do all the calculations in excel?

I would love some info on the subject of data mining backtesting...

Something isn't making sense to me... Perhaps not the right thread to ask, but I had never noticed before seeing the table in the blog...

Aren't the LifeStrategy funds a combo of TSM, TBM, and TISM? How can the yield on the LS funds be higher then any of the components?

Hello everyone... I am very much a Slice and Dicer and have planned out my equity allocations within my 401k. I would love to hear opinions of the best splits for my fixed income allocation. I am very young and will be maintaining a 15% FI allocation for the next 10yrs. The attractive funds within m...

Why does portfolio diversification not include a diversification of management strategies including low cost active and low cost passive funds?

If I were HR/GC my concern would be it contributes to a sexual discrimination or harassment claim (would they ask that of a man, is it a come on etc.). Obviously that doesn't seem like that was the intent but at the end of the day you don't want your people to put you in a position where it can eve...

If the company's clientele is mainly in their mid 50's and older and the person who previously held the position was around that age and you come in and you're fresh out of school at 25, I think the company has a legitimate concern about how you expect to deal with clients that may question your am...

It's my understanding the federal age discrimination law protects only those 40 & up. The law in your state may vary. That said, I'd have to wonder about a company that asks a question like this. SuzyC “I’m 58,” Riggleman added. “I’m too old to be disrespected.” Your understanding seems to be c...

Haha... great questions. The issue is whether I can connect with an older clientele and I probably answered the question better than if I would have been asked in a roundabout way.

As worded, doesn't sound particularly appropriate (not really illegal though it could support a discrimination case with other evidence). Was it an HR rep or hiring manager - my guess is HR would not be happy with that question being asked. The interview was with a regional manager. Thanks for your...

I was asked the following question during a job interview and would like to hear some discussion on the appropriateness/legality. "You have a young look about you. How would you handle a client's concern about your age?" I didn't think anything of it but while reviewing the interview with ...

Buy this book (less than $5!) and have fun: http://www.amazon.com/Building-Perfect-Robert-Bruce-Thompson/dp/0596006632 (there's a new edition, but I can't imagine the changes are that important: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1449388248/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-...

The contact info on your blog has an error.

Just because those are the max fees doesn't mean you will be charged both.

The 3.75% is an upfront charge for an A share. Whether or not you are paying this depends on the share class you are buying.
The CDSC of 1% is probably the penalty for holding the fund less than a year.

Vanguard's Target Date funds match closely with the Boglehead investment philosophy.

To me, they serve as an excellent way to get started. Eventually, I will look to get a bit more selective and specific in my AA, but I need some years to accumulate first.

Another vote for 28 days later.

It is a zombie movie but speaks volumes about the both sides of human nature.

Do not expect much from the sequel, 28 weeks later though.

That will never work... Instead, place it on the curb with "$50" sign. It will surely get picked up then

Growing up, my parents would buy a side of beef at a local charity auction every year.

Think long and hard about the cuts you want. That is the biggest trouble my parents ran into. They always had too much of some and not enough of others.

I love Pawn Stars. I love seeing all the neat items and hearing all the interesting stories...

Didn't make it through the one episode I saw of Hardcore Pawn.

Completely different shows.

I had a laptop from Google Chrome's pilot program. It was GREAT at what it did, but eventually I always wanted to run a program other than a web browser...

Thanks for the fast responses... Three of the four positions are nearly identical, but with different divisions. I'll adjust it a bit more for the fourth position. Thanks again! EDIT: I'd recommend to spend the extra 30+min. and tailor cover letters for each position. It will be time well spend. Def...

Hey everybody. I am applying for four different positions at a very large business. They are all very similar but are with different divisions within the company. I am submitting an application and my resume via the Careers portion of their website and was wondering if I should submit cover letters ...

Inland used to guarantee its share price would never drop below $10 a share. It's salesmen would suggest that when it finally liquidated the shares would be worth quite a bit more than $10 a share. Obviously, that isn't true. If I were you, I'd take the money and run. They used to be able to say th...

When a non-traded REIT re-prices, it does so arbitrarily. Some companies use firesale pricing of the underlying holdings and others use a more reasonable method. There is no standard. The re-pricing is not an offer to buy/sell. Its just an estimated valuation. There is no secondary market until the ...
