FWIW I have a fund that went Admiral after 10 years. I sold off enough to leave only $30K in the fund a few years ago. It has $39K in it now and it still is Admiral even though it has been well below $50K for a few years now.

Move to Denmark - Be Happy!

Harold wrote: I had thought that many of these countries are happier than the US because more of the populace takes satisfaction in simpler things. Less psychological desire for the biggest house, most expensive car, highest paying job, etc. More psychological desire for time to spend with people, savoring basic food/drink, etc. I tend to agree with that. Americans are often too materialistic in general and forget what life is really about.

Vanguard bond fund advice

Fisherman wrote: Taylor, would you recommend the same 50/50 mix of vanguard total bond/TIPs for a taxable account in the highest federal tax bracket with a 6% state income tax or you would add munis. Swensen recommends treasury/TIPs mix. Thanks Hi Fisherman: I think it's probably a mistake for high income taxpayers to use taxable bond funds in a taxable account. I would use only munis and forget TIPS.

I would invest in a taxable account before trying to invest through an insurance policy. The taxes wouldn't be a huge drag if you held equity index funds. In my opinion no, it never makes sense. At least not for any situation I've ever heard of.

We made the trip in 2006 on Celebrity. Port or starboard cabins don't really matter for the Panama Canal. You won't know whether the ship will use the lock on the left or right until the ship is actually in the lock. Both locks are used for travel in both directions; they do not "drive on the left" or "drive on the right". I found I walked around the ship to get views and photos from ...

I own 0% in gold or other precious metals, but if I owned it and it went up 50%, I'd sell it. Stocks and bonds have some underlying value. Gold has only speculative return. An ounce of gold now will still be an ounce of gold 20 years from now. Stocks have earnings growth and dividend yields. Bonds have interest income. Gold has...nothing.

My view is that there is nothing there that you cannot do by yourself and save the fee. However, it could be very useful for someone that is absolutely ignorant on basic investments or has decided that do not want to mess with it and rather let someone else do it. I say this because if you give the money to a financial adviser, you will most likely pay more and get lower performance. Vanguard ...

I have this idea that we can like, charge people, like maybe a dollar every time they like use the word "like". Oh my god, I think we can get $3.00 if they use, like, the phrase, "Oh My God". I also know we can charge $5.00 when they finish a declarative sentence with an inflection that makes it sound like a Question?

Kim Komando, the syndicated radio "digital goddess," said on last week's show that there will be some killer laptop deals coming in November. I wouldn't be surprised if Wal-Mart has some of them. I believe it was Komando who alluded to a 15-inch screen with 2GB of RAM and Windows 7 Home Premium for around $250. Check fliers in the Sunday editions of your local papers in the coming weeks....
