Introduction Market Data Compact
As long as political comments are market related, they are acceptable. I expect folks to be adults in their responses. ..

Other topics and investment styles welcome. There is no right way or wrong way to invest here, only a way to try and make whatever way you choose a better way of getting results for you.

I will not tolerate criticism of others and how they invest. Feel free to share what you do, how you do it, and why you do it, but I will not allow you to infer others are knuckleheads for how they invest. I will not tolerate food fights, you can always go to SA for that.

The portfolios I report on here are real portfolios using real money. They are not model portfolios. I provide two examples of portfolios I manage for people in different aspects of their investing lives.

1) Young Folk Portfolio.
2) Older Folk Portfolio.
==================

YOUNG FOLK PORTFOLIO: ... Growth

This is a growth portfolio, thus SPY is the the portfolio benchmark.

===========================

LEGACY PORTFOLIO: ... Growth and Income

Since this is a growth and income portfolio, using equity and fixed income, I'm using VWELX, which does the same, as the benchmark.
