Good Post ISIL/Paris Monday Morning Inna Markets Material From Dan.
http://stockmarketmentor.com/2015/11/th ... ovember-1/

Still 99% long stocks.....

I was going to start trading in 2001 and was sitting in cash. I witnessed the markets reaction to 9/11 starting with the disaster in downtown Manhattan and the closing of the American financial markets. Once they opened, a week later, it was Down Down Down every day for a week until the markets were totally washed out. Then they started to climb back. Coupla three four years later my wife and I were leaving for a ten day cruise one morning and I was busy with prep. Finally, totally ready, I sat down to wait for the ride and I opened up the computer mid East Coast afternoon. The horror of the Madrid Rail bombing was all over the monitor; I'd missed the first 4-5 hours of the market. I opened the trading account only to discover my account was up 10%.
???
But, that's how the world works; that was then and this is now. And I don't know what this now today is now like now. But I will. When Mondays now is over, I'll have it figured out .

I'll know what I'm going to do with the 401 Monday at noon.


Stay tooned...

What makes it hard to invest; being comfortable with your personal narrative...regardless of the real reality.
http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the ... elieve-it/
The local story can be negative; I live in the center of yet another $Bay$ $Area$ $boom$. But for an old retired guy, the city I loved as a kid is toast. It's gone. Friends and relatives who didn't get serious early and stay serious about retirement are bleeding from the eyeballs. Every negative in the above story is somewhat true in SF for people of my generation. And the future is less about the many and more about the few. I got kids and grandkids and I'm concerned. But I worked hard to become one of the few. And my 401 was a major part of that. So I'm 99% long today and will probably be the same tomorrow. The long term move is pretty much always for the better. Just because there are a lot of reasons to become a bitter, resentful, fearful, querulous old man does not make it right, fun, productive, or in any way enjoyable to me. Fuck it. Get over it and get it on. So I'm 99% long and staying that way this evening. That will change someday.. But the western world was at war with ISIL last Monday. This Monday is not different. I'm always at least a little cautious. Sometimes REAL cautious. Never fearful. Not as long as aggressive pays off.

"Every GOP administration since 1952 has let the Military-Industrial Complex loot the Treasury and plunge the nation into debt on the excuse of a wartime economic emergency. Richard Nixon comes quickly to mind, along with Ronald Reagan and his ridiculous 'trickle-down' theory of U.S. economic policy. If the Rich get Richer, the theory goes, before long their pots will overflow and somehow 'trickle down' to the poor, who would rather eat scraps off the Bush family plates than eat nothing at all.
Republicans have never approved of democracy, and they never will. It goes back to preindustrial America, when only white male property owners could vote."
-- Hunter S. Thompson

VITAL FOR YOUR 401....
http://www.pragcap.com/are-low-yielding ... ket-hedge/



This is the performance of the Fundz Inna 401 this year, including the Balanced Pooled Account and My Account...



This is where I have my allocations for the $10K I have in my 401...





This is Where the 401 Fundz have gone since I retired. This time I included a biotech fund that I've got in a small inherited IRA. I rolled the IRA from a 60/40 stock bondz allocation into two stock mutual fundz about the time I retired, American Growth Fund and the Franklin bio Fund... I'm up inna 401 a respectable amount even with the recent big drawdown and even though I'm down 30% in the IRA in a month and a half, I was up 75% over two years... The total performance of the pair is sterling with no trading costs to speak of.


I am NOT happy about not tracking the 401 money or the IRA more closely.
It is NOT my style to get clocked like this.
But the 401 is a small part of an overall plan, devised by me and some professionals... AND it is a part I expect to hate...

Cullen sez it well....
http://www.pragcap.com/there-are-no-holy-grails/

I look away from these accounts and ignore hiccups. It's easier with the IRA. The broker charges $100+ per trade. So i don't trade outa boredom. I expect to catch the next 2008 though and I expect to be a lot happier with these accounts then. This is just a dropped pot anna spilled drink inna kitchen. Take a little time to clean up and pour another drink. Dinner is still happening and in a week the mess and clean up will be forgotten...

“You can’t develop a portfolio strategy around endless possibilities. You wouldn’t even get out of bed if you considered everything that could possibly happen….. you can use history as one tool for shaping reasonable probabilities. Then, you look at the world of economic, sentiment and political drivers to determine what’s most likely to happen—while always knowing you can be and will be wrong a lot.”

I'da rather sold a coupla weeks ago. But the 401 is an account that i may not tap for years. It provides a 100% levered to stock portion of my portfolio and as such, I'm OK with letting it be... When the time goes to be 100% all accross the portfolio, this parts already there....

People have a fascination with statistics. As in science, statistics and correlations can tell a story about the market too. That story can be useful and often has lessons to be learned. Learn those lessons and prepare for that relationship to continue, but do not rely on it happening. If all short term correlations persisted indefinitely human life would not exist, much less an uptrend.

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...
