I think you’re thinking of a plutocracy

Yeah sure that’s what happened

That’s interesting, but it seems the thread title is misleading

We’re all aware the parties flipped in the 60s. If it was still Abraham Lincoln’s party, I’d be a part of it

Yeah that real democrat saying the civil war wasn’t fought over slavery. You found her out

Proof that it’s rigged!!

America-hating used to be a left wing thing. Man how times have changed

Chechnya, Georgia, Crimea, Donbas … but I’m sure Russia will stop once they’ve got Kyiv

It’s a pvssy move to insinuate this stuff, like you and Jerry are doing. That’s why I’m pinning you down. Either you think that happened or you don’t. Guys like jonmx might be nutso but at least they’re willing to put their money where their mouth is

Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, etc., I’m sure they were monitoring it. And as well they should. But that’s a whole different beast from the assertion that they basically orchestrated it

Nobody put down flexibility. That’s a perfectly fine reason to rent. What people take issue with is your declaration that it’s the better long term financial choice for most people

That sounds fine except you probably don’t need international. But whatever. None of that means you’re beating the market though (nor should you be trying to)

None of that establishes the theory that you’re trying to float and which loony jonmx claims is already established as fact — that January 6 was essentially a false flag operation perpetrated by federal law enforcement.

This is why you’re bullsh1t, jerry. You want to say it but you don’t want to be held to it. Grow a pair

It’s possible horse dude has been exceedingly lucky, just like it’s possible he has won the jackpot lottery. I would not count on it, though

Okay so you’re on board the jonmx crazy train. That’s cool. You gonna admit you were stupid when it doesn’t turn out that January 6 was a false flag operation perpetrated by federal agents?

You can do a total market fund if you want. S&P 500 tends to be best as it weeds out the trash but it’s up to you. Either way, you aren’t beating the general market over time

When is it ripe to move in? The politics can be a little crazy but what a beautiful state

Give some examples. Drop this coy bullsh1t

And you think landlords don’t pass that cost on to renters? They just eat that expense out of the goodness of their hearts?

I told you the secret already: 1. Put x percentage of your holdings in a low cost index fund that tracks the s & p 500, between 60-90% depending on your age and retirement horizon. (Less if you’re already retired) 2. Put the rest in a low cost total bond market fund. Or you can use the “default” target retirement funds that you’re dogging, as they basically do the same thing. I find they’re a tad conservative for my taste but if you want to just “set it and forget it” they are a perfectly fine option. You, on the other hand, are needlessly over complicating things. You are very unlikely to beat the market over time and will likely only hamper yourself

What did I supposedly claim?

Minimum $100k income to get in there but it doesn’t cost much. Yeah right. Nothing you say adds up, peefoam

Point is, he’s a stopgap

Yes it is a conundrum. I’d go for the best guy you can get on a reasonable deal. Maybe that’s Baker. Could be Cousins or Tannehill. Just don’t lock yourself in with a huge contract you can’t get out of, not for baker or either of those guys too. They are a bridge. Just because you don’t know who you’re ultimately getting or how doesn’t change the fact that they should only be a bridge
