Went to the VW dealer in 1979 for a diesel Rabbit. Ordered a base beige one, and was placed 37th on the waiting list for next available. After a month the dealer called with a deluxe model, I said that's not what I ordered and he said if you don't want it that's ok! This is long before I knew how to...

This is it, the start of the "rip your eye balls out" rally. \

My last buy is up 2.49% in less than 24 hours.

How much up?

True Brinker hasn't had a good record on sell calls, but he's had a few "market attractive for purchase" calls that were very good. For this reason I'm still a subscriber to his newsletter. Is this reason enough, who knows but for me for now it works and that's enough for me to subscribe.

Sounds like the talking heads this morning are pleading with the fed to not raise interest rates on December 19th. Wonder if they'll succeed? If the fed doesn't raise on the 19th that could slow the stock freefall and we could see a rally. :D ...or be seen as a big negative and more evidence of slo...

Check your owners manual, but I believe coolant should be changed every five years regardless of miles.
That's what mine says.

I don't have a civic, but have had lots of cars in NE winters here's my opinion. You don't need winter tires just a set of good all weather tires. Check the tread of your tires.

My family had a fantastic two weeks in San Miguel de Allende. We used public transportation, traveled throughout the region, ate anywhere. It’s a UNESCO site, a colonial city in the mountains. Lots of expats, but none of the crazy tourism!

DW likes the beach, but looks good so we may try.

In withdrawal, you should take your money from the asset class you have too much of. In a market downturn, this will be the bond side of your portfolio, not the stock side. So there is no decision about when to stop. Your portfolio will tell you where to withdraw from. Bonds are down more than stoc...

Considering the rising interest rate situation, I think not for the short term. After some time the rising interest rate will work it's way into bond yield, then bonds may contribute. IMO, depends on the speed of the rate increases by the fed. Perhaps the falling stock market will pressure the Fed t...

Why Cancun (as opposed to other places along the coast starting with Playa del Carmen)?
DW wanted to go.
The question was not who but why... I think you can have fun in Cancun but it is not anywhere on my list.

I do not know why.
