People will go to extraordinary lengths to rationalize market action and make it fit their narrative. This year wasn’t 1929, or 1987, or even 2007. It was in fact, 2014. -- Jon Boorman

I'm all in in stocks because of what I read, what I've learned, and most especially, because I'm prepared to harvest gains and minimize losses when the time comes. YMMV.

Big data and other wonders of the high tech world didn’t make us any smarter — at least when it comes to markets. The 50% drop in oil prices has humbled us all. -- Nancy Miller

Kinda takes me back to the 60's. A buddy of mine was at SF State sitting on the lawn between classes while demonstrations were occurring on the other side of the area. The cops scattered the demonstrators and one cop chasing a handful of demonstrators, ran past my buddy, still sitting on the lawn, and at full speed, took a one handed swing at a short haired sitting spectator. Don slammed back against the ground and the baton whistled past his face. Coulda splattered his brains. I don't claim to be an oppressed minority, but I have at least some appreciation of the below... I do get a kick outta the other attendees at the financial conferences I attend talking about what the "old hippie" is doing there. There was a time (still is actually, I flew back to Chicago and bought a truck and drove it back. Got a lot of hard eye here and there onna way) that my appearance symbolized a threat to God and Country. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc ... re/391158/
It's a complicated world, and I'm no longer a pipefitter, I'm a retiree investor hell bent on making my life savings work for me and my family. But I've never figured that made me one of the guys who will get bailed out the next time Wall Street craters itself. Most of the time, I'm on Betty Dub's side... http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/ ... et-tremble

So as a long hair liberal graduate of UC Berserkley, there are a lot of lefties who make my brain hurt to listen to them. But they are trying to go to where we can't go. At least not now. But what disturbs me is the righties who want to go back to where they imagine we used to be without realizing that we are not there any longer because it became untenable. Fires don't burn backwards and cement doesn't turn back into water and dry powder and then climb back inna bag no matter how much you may want it to. Neither do you speed up/reverse history for convenience...
Kinda peripheral 401 stuff. Your fund advisor's first obligation is to his wife and kids. That obligates him to earn. His obligation to you is to do well for you/not screw you up so badly that you no longer produce income. It's OK not to come first. It's not OK to come last... http://thereformedbroker.com/2015/04/06 ... lesperson/

There is no reason to feel any shame in hiring someone to pick stocks or mutual funds for you. But there’s one responsibility that you must never delegate. You, and no one but you, must investigate whether an adviser is trustworthy and charges reasonable fees. -- Benjamin Graham

The conspiracy theorists fail to understand the basics of econometric modeling and how these numbers are calculated. Consider the rise in unemployment in the January nonfarm payrolls report. More than a million people returned to the job market last month, raising the unemployment rate from 5.6 percent to 5.7. Hence, we have a deep dark secret. It has been craftily hidden by the illuminati, Freemasons and Trilateral Commission, unless you know the secret handshake, or are familiar with a small, esoteric company called "Google.” -- Barry Ritholtz

Everyone–EVERY LAST ONE OF US–says they love, admire and respect deep-dive accountability reporting on complex capital markets issuers. When it comes time to contribute to it, however, you will rarely see rich white people do a better imitation of Deion Sanders (circa 1989) with respect to the speed in which they haul ass away from you. -- Roddy Boyd

Workin' Man's Burden.... I've spent 40 years inna pipe trades, 20 years in heavy industrial and 20 years in high purity/high tech. I was a 100 MPH WFO Kinda guy for mos of my life. I used myself up. Now I'm retired. Just in time. Nowadays I'm a 25 MPH WFO kinda guy. On a good day. Pundits who celebrate working into their 70's and 80's drive me up a wall. Doing desk work, consulting and conferences for good money is great work if you can get it, but I think of it as a rich man's conceit, not a real job. Would you celebrate being shoveler at the shit works in your 70's? In an increasingly globalized, productive world, you have to figure out what you are going to do about this type of situation... http://www.theatlantic.com/features/arc ... ca/384718/

"If the world I leave behind is one of gated communities, growing inequality and misery among the have-nots, downward mobility for the middle class, a degraded environment and a rotting social and physical infrastructure, then (my children's) inheritance will be a shabby one — no matter how much money they get." -- Richard Rockefeller

Ran Across Linkin Park Onna Guitar Center Program The Other Night. It's been years, so I dug up the CD's. I grew up listenin' to Top 40 on a transistor radio and hung out at the 'mo, 'mo West, Winterland, Berkeley Community Theatre, etc. This whole music video stuff is really post Joe Facer.

Democracy means equality. Which means know nothing, faith (fantasy) based delusions have just as much standing as the scientific communities accepted beliefs. Until the numbers favor one position or the other... So check out what I found on that hippie dippy pinko left wing publication, Bloomberg... http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2014- ... on-record/ When I was at Berkeley, the religious scholars used to come out at lunch time and torment the holy roller saving souls at Sproul Plaza, pointing out mistranslations, errors, and misunderstandings in his version of the good book. Reality always trumps faith. The time element can be frustrating, though.
