    Is now a good time to invest in Vanguard Index Funds or should I wait for the next recession? Thoughts? I’m in my late 20s and thinking of a 3 fund portfolio!

    What is your investment plan for the next major market decline?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2020 06:45 PM PST

    Write down that plan. Explain how you would invest in different situations that the market could throw at you. Only by writing your steps and plan down will you be able to fight through the noise that will no doubt be hyped on every financial news channel, late night tv spot, Facebook ad, and every YouTube commercial telling you how to make millions their way. Everything and nothing will sound logical. Anyone who was invested in 2008-2009 will understand the pulls and pushes of information overload that will be coming. The stories of people on the streets, people losing their jobs, houses getting foreclosed on. Lions, tigers , and bears, oh my. Get your actions steps together now before the nonsense and noise attempt to take you on a wild desperate ride that could cost you tens of thousands or more in fees, taxes, and capital losses. Are you going to sell everything? Are you going to sell half, a third? Are you going to hold fast at your current levels? Are you going to fight the noise and actually add to your holdings? Are you going to hold a specific percentage of cash? 10, 20, 30%? More? How far down will you wait for stocks to drop before you begin deploying the cash into stocks again? Will you be patient and change nothing because you understand your investments and don't fear short-term losses? If so, will you continue to add capital on the way down? How much capital will you add. The same as before? More, less? Will you be moving your money out of the market completely and move into other investments? Are you going into precious metals, bonds, real estate? Something else? Write it down, access, adjust, stick to your plan. Start Investing Early, Never Stop, Stay Focused.

    Legendary Wall Street investor warns of ‘several’ 5% market corrections in 2020

    Posted: 06 Jan 2020 01:31 PM PST

    Last year, Blackstone's Byron Wien absolutely nailed a few of the stock-market calls he made on his list of "Ten Surprises" that he's been publishing, typically with input from fellow billionaire George Soros, since 1986.

    For one, he predicted the Shanghai Composite SHCOMP, -0.01% would rally 25%. It gained 22%. He said Brazil's equity market would come alive. The Bovespa BVSP, -0.84% surged 34%. He said the S&P 500 SPX, +0.35% would rally 15%. It easily outperformed that. Not bad.

    "The most positive factor was the accommodative monetary policy provided by the U.S. and other countries, which had a favorable impact on the economy and the financial markets," the company explained in retrospect.

    Iran News Discussion

    Posted: 06 Jan 2020 08:57 AM PST

    So it seems things have calmed down a bit. What are your thoughts? It seems Iran's not really going to do anything and its allies (don't know who they are though) haven't really said anything to support Iran.

    Is it just me, or was 2019 eerily similar to 2006 in terms of market performance?

    Posted: 06 Jan 2020 11:21 AM PST

    I was comparing YoY trends before our last recession and how the market has been performing. 2019 had 22.3% growth in the DJI, while 2006 had a 16.6% growth YoY. Though the swings within each year are different, the growth trajectory seems nearly identical. Does anyone else think that Q3 of 2020 is when we will start seeing the market teeter? Not necessarily a recession, but could the true signals of a recession come to surface?
