Re: A time to EVALUATE your jitters
I hate to break it to you, but you're compounding market timing with more market timing. If your asset allocation was suitable, you would have realized your mistake and reverted to it. Instead, you're slowly easing back in, to what effect? If the same thing happens again, and you jump out, and then...

Re: A time to EVALUATE your jitters
Thank you for this thread. It has given me a lot to think about and the OP is particularly therapeutic. AA= 90/10, late 20s investor for about 5 years. I cashed out and adjusted to 20/80 the day before the drop in Feburary, breaking my own hold-forever policy that I'd come up with after doing recomm...

Penfed credit cards have no foreign transaction fee and no cash advance fee and no foreign ATM fee. I haven't done it myself yet but I suggest taking tha...

Re: U.S. citizen in Japan
I'm a U.S. citizen in Japan and one of the members of the Japanese retirement forum mentioned by Ben. I'm currently naturalising to Japan, which in and of itself causes a whole lot of issues. But putting that aside... [...] They made it clear to me that only loss of U.S. citizenship would affect my...

Re: Why do you go to restaurants?
My entire extended family has always been willing to drive an hour or more to eat out regularly, because restaurants that serve our culture's food at a decent quality are often located in the respective ethnic communities that far away. Anything nearby is typically Americanized junk food. Also for t...

Re: The Three-Fund Portfolio
Serious questions: For those of you who moved from a different investing strategy to the Three Fund Portfolio, what did you do with your prior investments (namely individual stocks and actively managed funds)? Did you allocate all new money and investments into the Three Fund Portfolio? Did you sel...

Vanguard is catching billions of dollars that is fleeing active management models. I only have around 300k invested with Vanguard, but they've been good on all of my requests...
