RTP, NC Chapter Meeting 9:30 AM Sat April 22, 2023

Post by Steve Thorpe »

Hello Research Triangle Park, North Carolina area Boglehead® friends,

Meeting 36 of the Research Triangle Park Bogleheads has been scheduled for 9:30 AM Eastern Time Saturday April 22, 2023. We will gather remotely using Google Meet.

Google Meet connection info:
Topic: Research Triangle Park, NC Bogleheads Meeting
Time: Saturday April 22, 2023 9:30 AM Eastern Time
meet.google.com/oxs-jjxr-zjh
Dial-in: (US) +1 575-587-5889
PIN: 637 707 530#

Just FYI, after most of the previous meetings I posted a short summary... in case these are of interest, please check towards the end of these topics: Also FYI I set up a Master Thread for RTP, North Carolina Bogleheads Chapter forum topic that you may wish to subscribe to... I'll try to remember to post a reminder of future RTP Bogleheads meetings to that topic.

Finally for those local 'heads not already on the list, I set up a Google Groups "rtpbogleheads" email list for our local chapter. Please consider joining the list to help our chapter communications (see below for joining details). From the group's description:
Welcome to the Google group of the Research Triangle Park, North Carolina Area Bogleheads Chapter. The Bogleheads are an investing and personal finance interest group inspired by the example of Jack Bogle, the founder of the Vanguard mutual fund company.

This list is primarily to foster easy communications among our local chapter members, in particular regarding reminders and logistics on upcoming meetings which we hope to hold approximately quarterly. All are encouraged to continue use the national forum (bogleheads.org) for most postings.

Please stick to the spirit of the national chapter's forum policies and etiquette: basically, keep to investing topics and stay away from politics. Further details on posting etiquette can be found here: http://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=405

Initially this list will be configured to allow through all member postings in an un-moderated fashion, though adjustments may be made later as deemed appropriate by the list manager.

If you're interested to know of other local Boglehead chapters, please see the Google Map maintained by Mel Lindauer at http://www.lostsprings.com/diehards/chapters/

Thank you!

Hello Bogleheads friends,

We had around a half-dozen participants at this morning's fun Google Meet get-together. Our delightful conversation covered a variety of topics including:

* Ed Tower's research comparing indexed vs. managed funds at Vanguard and Fidelity

* International vs. Domestic

* Value vs. Growth

* TIPS ladders

* Liability matching

* Simplifying our investments

* Academic journals are an expensive racket!

* Jeremy Siegel's Stocks for the Long Run

* William Bernstein's Four Pillars book will soon have an updated edition

* Individual bonds vs. bond funds

* Treasuries vs. corporates

* Roth conversions during times of market distress (when the conversion tax bill can be smaller)

* Features of Vanguard's automated RMD service

* Letter to one's heirs stressing key things they need to know about RMDs, etc.

* The joys of homemade bread! :happy

Thank you very much to all attendees - it was great to see you!

Steve
