Mines $14/quarter for a company known for very strong benefits.

Yes, 0.5 difference in HDI is significant.

*NASA Management.

Yes, I was referring to the open positions area, not the performance area.

The 401K is off though, unless it's either YTD or relabalncing somehow removed the gain number. Neither of these are indicated though.

This is comprehensive, thank you Emilio.

On NetBenefits on a statement, how would I calculate the total dollar return? Is it "change in market value" + "dividends & interest"?

A bit confused, because the "dividends & interest" number looks unreasonably high compared to the amount in the account.

Yup, the performance tab is only the "Investment Accounts", even though "positions" includes all off them. And yeah, the different and limited timeframes. Looks like the best course of action for 401k is NetBenefits.

Strange.

$7.25 in 2021 adjusted for CPI 2009 is $5.58.

$6.95 is too little given a 20% increase in CPI.

Ok.

It's leveraging into bonds, not more stock (90/60 stocks/bonds). Diversification into a non-equity asset would provide less volatility during a downturn than 100% equities.

Thank you, I inspire hope.

What value does crypto currently provide other than speculation?

Who is currently buying crypto other than stakeholders that plan to sell to a bigger fool later?

Band of Brothers, one of the best TV mini series of all time (just check IMDB).

From D Day to the end of WW2.

Great list.

Love Bogleheads.org, but it's best to keep going on an action until marginal utility equals marginal cost. Especially with Bogleheads.org, I'm confident they're leaving money on the table by discouraging margin and leverage, considering interest rates are so low with investment assets as collateral.

I wish there was a comprehensive guide within Bogleheads on the best actions to take for long term leverage. Leaving money on the table, especially when my investments are for the long term, doesn't seem very sensible.

Thus, VTI + VXUS at VT market weight, or just VT.

Bonds will be fashionable again during the next recession.

Companies will continue to generate profits, which will be distributed to shareholders.

Endless growth is not a requirement for long term shareholder earnings.

And ideally TMF is compensating when UPRO is performing poorly, to the point where you can rebalance and enjoy a strong UPRO resurgence.

You lose money.

I'm young, have a long horizon, have 75% of my net worth in an intelligent asset bundle, and know UPRO and TMF have a strong 40 year (simulated over the past 40 years) record with logical fundamentals.

I'm not afraid of the worst case for UPRO and TMF, because it's worth risk in the short term with a long horizon.

He bribed judges.

75% VTI/VXUS (balanced at whatever VT is)

They forgot to turn on their monitors.

Yup, I work in an industry where there is no way anyone has a passion or interest for the product/services being produced. You're not employed here unless you want a paycheck and benefits, full stop.

Amazing pay, benefits, and work-life balance, especially for the work expectations.
