Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

Don't worry, the house just passed the Stop Insider Trading Act last week. Surely the R's didn't piggyback provisions from the SAVE America Act to the bill to poison pill it and guarantee it never passes through the Senate.

Oh wait... :rolleyes:
Grift and legislative legerdemain is undefeated bipartisanship...

Wow. Just got an indication of the potential for growth in the USA.

Daughter has a new 401k manager. Looking through options, the default is a popular Fidelity age based fund. Pretty standard.

But in checking the make up of the fund she would be assigned with 30+ years until retirement...it has over 40 percent in foreign equities now!

For decades I never saw a ratio that high...generally been somewhere between 10 and 20 percent. More than double that now!
 
That doesn’t surprise me.

70/30 has been the long-term “industry standard” recommendation for a while. I assume the extra 10% is perhaps respecting the 15-year outperformance of the US market vs international.

I assume with 30+ years to retirement it is all equity. If I remember correctly, 20-25 years ago the standard equity allocation was 50% US 40% intl dev and 10% em (all thereabouts). You can check ACWI history of allocation. Today US is showing 63%.

Interesting to know if it is an active or passive fund. That would show if it was a true bet.

Considering 3.5% inflation / 2.7 CPI.

TSP (Gov employee version of a 401). Sure to have a few more quality dip purchase / correction opportunities along the way - hopefully wrapping up on the upswing come 2029, mandatory retirement from this position. Need every penny!

What bangers are holding your horizon?

I placed a good chunk into INTC. Entered at their $19 mark around 04/25. Sudden nice surprise when I viewed my Schwab account recently.
 
Were you all over Burisma, remind me...
Nothing to see, Breitbart still has a hold on you huh?

Big difference--Ukraine and Burisma was NOT on the list of foreign companies US intelligence has flagged for national security concerns.

Nor did the BIden administration flag them, unlike Trumps administration "companies the Trump administration says pose risks to national security and intellectual property."

Don't accept what they say, don't look at what they do, even when they are working with people that on the hand the Trump admin says are a danger to US security and property, eh?

In other news, WSJ today says tech companies’ AI spending is $3 trillion higher than it seems (a lot of $$$ not on the balance sheets), and Iran kept duping the White House about peace while secretly preparing for a greater conflict with Iran initiating it.

Add to that Russia testing EU defenses via cyberattacks or otherwise, and our low missle/munitions count while China sits backs and watches the show, could make for a fun next year.
