Down goes the Dow

wtf is wrong with you people? move on or start your own thread on the pros and cons of reserving handles.

Wait, this is coming from someone who has gone on and on and on about both grammatical errors and anti-semitism in a thread titled, 'Down goes the Dow'.

OK, now that's funny.

yeah well good point. I retract. Carry on with your argument.

ok agip my teaching job offers me a TDA and I can put money into fixed which guarantees me 7% or I can put it into different variable accounts some more volatile than others. I can put part of my money in any of them and move it every few months. Conventional wisdom has been to put your money in an aggressive fund when you're young and shift it into fixed when you get older but putting it into 7%, knowing it will double in 10 years and never having to worry seems pretty good

Ummm...No, I did not. Your inability to comprehend seemingly anything at all doesn't really help your case.

Here is a hint to make your life a little easier. People with IQs below 80 should avoid posting.

Maybe if you explained things better -- for example, exactly what your typo was -- then those of us of superior intelligence would understand better. Anyway it is now apparent that your typo was in part 2 above; i.e. your handle is, in fact, unregistered. So this begs the question, what are you whining about? If a name is unregistered, it is available to all. If you want a unique name, then register it. This isn't rocket science.

Are you really that stupid or just pretending?

You might want to read the posts on this matter where it was VERY CLEARLY explained that:

A) I do have a registered handle with an unguessable password. That registered handle has been repeatedly stolen on this thread and elsewhere.

B) Being able to post things without confusion as to who is posting what ultimately depends on folks not being D-bags since it has been repeatedly proven that handles can be stolen regardless of being registered.

C) Purposely posting under the handle that someone else has already been using, regardless of whether or not it is registered, is the single lamest, d-baggiest thing that one can do on these boards.

Try to keep up. Even with your very low IQ.

You are the single best poster on all of LetsRun.

The fact that you have resorted to insults undermines the credibility of your argument. Agip is right...this doesn't belong here. I'm done with this.

I hear you - 7% guaranteed is a good return.

I don't know enough about your personal situation or options to really offer a valuable opinion so I have to duck out.

the boys at bogleheads are more than willing to give opinions - you could try there if you want to crowd source some opinions.

Turn on your sarcasm detector.

thank you. really. I remember you saying kind things before. You made my mf day, man.

I should try to get some work done now.

Nice Santa Claus rally going on. More record highs!

I understand agip I just respect your opinion

No legit investment can guarantee a 7% per year return today

I don't know about 7%, here's an investment that can guarantee 4.1%:

NON-tech indices?

On June 22, 2009 (same day I went from short SP500 to long) I bought these stocks;

AAPL

A

LRCX

NFLX

ROST

TQNT

All tech stocks except for Ross Stores. Up 277% since then, an exponential annualized ROR of 34.4% since then. Not quite the almost 60% ROR I had with the top 4 tech stocks (MSFT, INTC, CSCO, ORCL) in the 1990's, but you can still invest to retire early as a millionaire and have a life.

And BTW, Flagpole, the only mutual funds that come even close to this ROR for the last 5 years have 2-3X leverage or extremely high risk. That's why if you want to retire early as a millionaire or close to it, you invest in stocks, not mutual funds.

I'm pretty sure agip was referring to NASDAQ. There have been some tech winners, but the main tech index is well short of its call-time high.
