Thank you everyone for our wonderful meeting today, and special thanks to the Vanguard Senior Advisor who so capably presented the Vanguard Personal Advisor Service (PAS) and so graciously answered all our questions

Re: South Florida Local Chapter
Thank you Miriam2 and all the other volunteers for your tireless work. Without you guys this chapter would not function so well. I realize it is a heavy task to arrange these meeting twice a year. So I am thanking you for everybody. I want to volunteer.Miriam2 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 27, 2019 8:44 pm Thank you everyone for our wonderful meeting today, and special thanks to the Vanguard Senior Advisor who so capably presented the Vanguard Personal Advisor Service (PAS) and so graciously answered all our questions

Re: South Florida Local Chapter
Hello Bogleheads,
We had our 2019 South Florida Bogleheads chapter meeting on Sunday @ the Stirling Rd branch Library.
The library conference room was full for the meeting with 54 people (13 newbies) and shows a steady growth of members attending.
There was a brief tribute, by Miriam and Taylor, to Jack Bogle to start of the meeting.
We had a Senior Advisor from Vanguard Personal Advisor Services as the main Speaker/Presenter.
The primary agenda for this meeting was the presentation of the Personal Advisor Services(PAS) provided by Vanguard and the session was interactive with attendees having any questions clarified and discussion on topics primarily related to PAS.
Some salient points of PAS are
There were members in the meeting who utilized PAS and all of them were quite happy with it.
We were once again treated to lunch, sandwiches by Michael Larimore, Ann brought Cookies and Allison Coffee.
Arthur greeted us at the entrance and Paul & Taffy were at the Sign in table to provide name tags.
We finished off the meeting celebrating Taylor's 95th birthday.
Thanks very much Miriam for organizing this meeting.
I say this each year, but I look forward to many more years of this wonderful meetups.
Below is the picture from the meeting.

The primary agenda for this meeting was the presentation of the Personal Advisor Services(PAS) provided by Vanguard and the session was interactive with attendees having any questions clarified and discussion on topics primarily related to PAS.
Some salient points of PAS are
- A dedicated advisor who is a CPA and is salaried by Vanguard and thus does not work on commissions.
- You can meet your advisor and also have video conference calls.
- Takes a complete TOP-DOWN approach to investing.
- Works to tailor solutions for each clients personal situation.
- Build around the portfolio a client currently has, but use a core of of Vanguard index funds.
- Keeps track of plan regularly and suggests rebalancing and tax loss harvesting opportunities.
- Access to special website to track account information and access to portfolio tools.
- The advisor serves as an emotional circuit breaker so you don't panic during market downturns and abandon your plan.

Re: South Florida Local Chapter
Jim & I will be there. Looking forward to seeing everyone. One topic I’d like to hear about is feedback from retirees, i.e. how did it feel like after you pulled the trigger, what activities/hobbies did you pick up- did you engage in these before or after retirement, going from a save to a spend mindset, etc. Thank you.

I highly recommend this meeting. A really great group. I went one January and enjoyed it immensely. Miriam and her husband are great hosts and it is always informative to hear Taylor in person. If your close give it a shot

We have several Bogleheads who drive down to Hollywood from north of Palm Beach; it's a straight drive on I-95 (or even the Turnpike). We have several Bogleheads who come from Orlando, Naples, Ft. Myers, and Key Largo. We have a nice large room and guests are welcome. Our members provide lunch - it is difficult to discuss finance on an empty stomach
Please let me know if you have any questions. Our South Florida local chapter email is SFLBogleheads@gmail.com
Looking forward to having you join us!

Re: South Florida Local Chapter
Dear Bogleheads,
I attended the meeting of the South Florida Bogleheads on 7/14/19 and it was a wonderful event as usual. I especially want to thank Miriam, Arthur, Taffy and Taylor. Thanks to all who participated in the discussions, especially Taylor Larimore, Miriam and Charley. There were many others but I can't recall their names.
This event is always very worthwhile and this meeting had a very good turnout. I appreciate being able to have contact with so many really smart people.
Thanks again to the organizers,
Bill & Diane Fromm

Re: South Florida Local Chapter
Hello Bogleheads,
We had our South Florida Bogleheads chapter meeting last Sunday at the Stirling Rd branch library in Hollywood, Florida. We were honored to have Taylor Larimore, who founded the Bogleheads in 1998, and Larry Auton, one of the Bogleheads.org site owners, with us at the meeting. Larry also maintains and services our Bogleheads.org website so it runs smoothly.
We had 40 Bogleheads at the meeting. A few new faces and a lot of familiar ones as well.
We started off with two short videos
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/09/12/jack-bo ... risis.html
http://vanguard.vo.llnwd.net/o1/EXT/SH/ ... 012018.mp4
These were a reminder of Jack Bogle's investing philosophy. His relentless fight to give everyone a fair shake. His legacy lives on in the more than 80 local Bogleheads chapters and 6 overseas chapters. This in addition to the Annual Bogleheads conference.
The main topic of discussion was retirement planning and how it affected Bogleheads.
We had people share their experiences and had interesting conversations about going back to work after retiring and how retirement affects them emotionally and financially.
We also discussed about Active investing and what % of a portfolio, if any, do Bogleheads invest actively. There were replies about the dangers and futility of active investing and timing the market. Setting aside a small percentage (3-5% or less) of the total portfolio as play money to actively trade was a suggestion.
There was a helpful article printed and provided by Charlie about discussions to change the rules for IRA distribution currently being discussed by congress and how it can affect beneficiaries.
Other topics of discussion included,
Factor investing using DFA funds.
Bogleheads buying individual stocks.
Harry Browne's Permanent Portfolio.
Roth vs Traditional investing.
We had a lot of delicious food. Sandwiches were provided by Michael Larimore. Ann who recently retired brought homemade cookies. Coffee and supplies were brought by Allison. Technical assistance provided by Jim. Thanks to Miriam for the excellent organization of another Bogleheads meeting.
Here's a picture from the meetup.
Looking forward to the next chapter meeting.

These were a reminder of Jack Bogle's investing philosophy. His relentless fight to give everyone a fair shake. His legacy lives on in the more than 80 local Bogleheads chapters and 6 overseas chapters. This in addition to the Annual Bogleheads conference.
The main topic of discussion was retirement planning and how it affected Bogleheads.
We had people share their experiences and had interesting conversations about going back to work after retiring and how retirement affects them emotionally and financially.
We also discussed about Active investing and what % of a portfolio, if any, do Bogleheads invest actively. There were replies about the dangers and futility of active investing and timing the market. Setting aside a small percentage (3-5% or less) of the total portfolio as play money to actively trade was a suggestion.
There was a helpful article printed and provided by Charlie about discussions to change the rules for IRA distribution currently being discussed by congress and how it can affect beneficiaries.
Other topics of discussion included,
Factor investing using DFA funds.
Bogleheads buying individual stocks.
Harry Browne's Permanent Portfolio.
Roth vs Traditional investing.
We had a lot of delicious food. Sandwiches were provided by Michael Larimore. Ann who recently retired brought homemade cookies. Coffee and supplies were brought by Allison. Technical assistance provided by Jim. Thanks to Miriam for the excellent organization of another Bogleheads meeting.
Here's a picture from the meetup.
Looking forward to the next chapter meeting.

Unless the Bengals make the playoffs, I may attend this as well.

Sounds like a variation of Pascal's wager I'm not sure whether to hope your favorite team loses so we have the pleasure of your company again, or to hope your team wins so you'll enjoy watching your game.bengal22 wrote: ↑Unless the Bengals make the playoffs, I may attend this as well.
You could just switch loyalties and cover both bases
