Thanks all
Hi all, I tried a search but couldn't figure out the best search terms so thought I'd ask here. If I'm thinking about refinancing a loan with...
Vanguard Index Chart There you go - it's in the brochure, not the poster I think.
I knew I'd seen these data laid out nicely somewhere. This is from vanguard. Note the long periods of outperformance of either option. This is...
Some great points here. The only thing I'll add is to consider the psychology aspect of it. There are often relatively long (sometimes 10 year or...
Much better - I now realize that @SatayKing is not being sarcastic and truly believes it is a Malodorous, Icky, Revolting fund.
Not sure I agree with that last part, you seem to enjoy toying with us when it comes to our (lack of) MIR holdings!

Why do you think I'm on here spruiking it ;). Build up that FUM. I was surprised how much FUM it had when I first started looking last decade...
To me the hardest part of global diversification is making the choice to bet against the world's largest market, and one devoted to capitalism. I...
I hear you, but I find that despite his short term inconsistency over the long run he's paid his debt to me and then some ;) As for his brother,...
I have faith in him. I'm guessing he'll pull a sneaky one and deposit it into my bank account using his initials (Vincent Adam Smith) next month.
For me it's really hard to see Berkshire outperforming a global cap weighted index due to skill over a long duration. Not a reflection on them,...
Let's not get the crypto bros upset with us....it's good and makes a lot of sense and is definitely an acceptable investment (said as I back away...
