Anyone ever heard of Equity Concepts based out of Richmond VA? I was taken on a nice golf outting by one of their reps (I'm the cynical type, I figure everyone who is currently invested with them just paid for my 250$+ golf outing) and given the soft sell. They offer a bunch of stuff that is usuall...

This is my situation. I do not have any more "room" in 401k or Roth IRAs right now for Vanguard's International Bond Fund but would like to add it to my portfolio. Should I just wait until next year when I have another 17.5K room in my 401k and 11K in Roths (me and wife)? just thinking Ha...

Where are folks holding the international bond fund? 401k? IRA?

Just FYI

When/How do you guys/gals decide to TLH?

Is it a number value? (I.e. fund down $1000 dollars or more)?

Is it a percentage value (I.e. fund down 20% or more)?

Thanks

If an investor sells shares/lots That we're acquired as dividends but then decreased in value,, how does this affect the decision to TLH versus shares that were purchased? Gotta pay taxes on dividends obviously? So loss must be significant to make up for tax burden? Sorry for beginner level question...

There is something to be said for simplicity. And there is decreasing marginal benefit to each new asset class added to a portfolio. That being said, an 8-10 fund portfolio is not significantly harder to maintain than a 3-4 fund portfolio . There is significant benefit potentially to nominal increa...

Perhaps a stupid question. But when someone sells, someone has to buy, right?

So were people selling off or buying up today?

People are waking up to the realization that rates are going up sooner, not later. When rates go up, it puts pressure on real estate prices and organizations that buy real estate, making them less profitable. I wonder if I should sell... I won't "lose" any of my original principle if I do...
