Ah-ah, ah!
Ah-ah, ah!
We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, sing and cry
Valhalla, I am coming
On we sweep with threshing oar
Our only goal will be the western shore
Ah-ah, ah!
Ah-ah, ah!

*I currently have no position in QQQE. But I find watching the action between the market cap weighted version of an index and the equal weight to be interesting. Probably not much different than someone who watches Small Cat vs Small Cap Val vs Small Cap Growth.

He compared one where it was socially acceptable to engage in certain "adult" activities with one where such activities were VERY MUCH NOT.
Yet both communities searched for videos of these activities at very similar rates.

Except ours. But they are down because my funny money is in AAPL. That is forgivable because that holding is up 12,521% since it was purchased.

I've posted this before, but I think that the Soaring and Free Falling threads are now an essential component of the Bogleheads.org experience. We (on the average) don't market time on this site. We also on the average "tune out the noise". But logging in and seeing if the Free Falling or Soaring thread is the active one at the moment is a funny way to "check on the market conditions", and the herd traveling back and forth from one thread to another makes it quite clear that it is all in fun and nobody is predicting what will happen, merely what is and has happened. By combining into one thread it has the possibility of delving into a real market timing, nay-saying, catch all of market discussions, rather than the humorous see-saw that can happen from hour to hour as each day progresses.

I've posted this before, but I think that the Soaring and Free Falling threads are now an essential component of the Bogleheads.org experience. We (on the average) don't market time on this site. We also on the average "tune out the noise". But logging in and seeing if the Free Falling or Soaring thread is the active one at the moment is a funny way to "check on the market conditions", and the herd traveling back and forth from one thread to another makes it quite clear that it is all in fun and nobody is predicting what will happen, merely what is and has happened. By combining into one thread it has the possibility of delving into a real market timing, nay-saying, catch all of market discussions, rather than the humorous see-saw that can happen from hour to hour as each day progresses.
Plus, I love having 2 threads where whether they are GREEN or RED, we can make fun of VXUS!!! (I hold 20% of Equities there)
SCV seems to be suffering along with US TSM
Value has been fine for exUS DM and EM
S&P has lost 5% but my overall portfolio is positive

Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
I truly hope diversification continues to do well but I certainly don’t think historical SWR can be enjoyed by anyone who can’t time travel. Perhaps our SWR ends up being similar to the historical one though. Maybe even better!Nathan Drake wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 2:05 pmI have about 50 years worth of time for it to matter.

If only VXUS tilters could see the US tilters grins through the dust and back of their heads. At least a closing gap is better than a widening one right? It provides hope in the meantime. Maybe roles will reverse while it still matters!Nathan Drake wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 1:38 pmUs VXUS tilters are laughing at US only holders this year.

Would you also close down "U.S. Stocks In Free Fall"?
But it does seem that they should be combined.
I'm getting a bit dizzy toggling back and forth do much.
And I prefer "The fog comes on little cat feet" to "rat's fee over broken glass".

Re: U.S. stocks continue to soar!
That can be said about anything, but diversification over long holding periods improves SWR and SORR outcomes, and intuitively it should make sense whyHomerJ wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 2:10 pmYou can't enjoy anything "historically".
