      I always think why we need bonds in our portfolio . If we put our money towards paying our house , housd can act as bond to give stability of overall portfolio . We know stocks will beat bonds in long term anyhow
      Even with the low mortgage rates , rate is more then treasuries.
      Once you get older , you can sell your house and put money in bonds .
      Your comment is really appreciated

    I see value in changing asset allocation at different levels of wealth (at least when compared to a static spending level). For instance, with $100M a 10% bond exposure would be able to cover my living expenses possibly into perpetuity. However, with the more likely $2-3M I plan on a 60/40 split

  • @PatrickStahlitrm

    Perhaps one extra thing to say about the main question in this episode is that, if you don’t have good access to mutual funds, and you’re starting with a very small amount of money, then you’ll have to be careful with how you go about buying ETF shares that make sense to buy. What do you do with your first $100? That can’t buy a share of VTI. But it can buy a share of QQQE. Or maybe you try to stay diversified with the cheapest components you can find. In any case, until you hit a certain amount in your account, allocations can be challenging when you’re in an account that doesn’t have easy access to good mutual funds without any fees or before you hit investment minimums.

    The question of whether to increase my bond allocation right now is really puzzling me. I don't believe in market timing, but the situation is weird with the Fed on record saying they WILL raise rates (and with similar noises now from the Euro zone). Explicit indications like this make me want to wait a couple years.

    Rob you seem “invested” in your individual stocks and congratulations but now that they’ve gone to the moon are you able to sell them to rebalance and how does a buy and hold strategy work when your stocks go up. Clearly (perhaps) if they have done well you will now need to sell them to re-balance.

    • @ghostoferlock
      @ghostoferlock Před 2 lety

      buy and hold, if the stock keeps climbing means you hold it. If a company is speculation and gambling then sell, but big companies that make money, not really any reason to sell them. I'll simply ask, why would you sell stocks in a company that is very big and they are good earners looking towards the future ?

    Is it doable that I invest all in VTI and take out 4% every year to retire on.
    Is it doable or need to diversify between different etfs?
    Am 49 and would like to retire today and live on etf income.

    Maybe a dumb question - I struggle with bonds in my portfolio. I only recently started with bonds as I’m getting older and want to lower my risk profile. There are so many types of bonds. If I’m trying to keep it simple, is it ok to go with a domestic and international bond market funds? Am I really missing much by not getting into munis and such? Thanks

    One thing that I think is missing here when you are talking about how to invest is if you are at the 4% rule -- or above or below. If you are at 6%, it's important to be more into bonds. If you are at 2%, you can probably forgo bonds and be fine with better long term value.
    It's too simplistic to talk about returns alone if you are pulling money out at the same time. Similarly if you are near retirement and still contributing, but above targets you would invest differently than if you are 60 and trying to catch up.

    • @ghostoferlock
      @ghostoferlock Před 2 lety

      this is one thing that I never understood: the money that is left in the market for the most time, should end with the highest growth. So why do people want to keep contributing right before retirement, and draw out the money they first contributed to their account ? I would leave the stocks, and in the last few years, put that money into something more even and less aggressive. when it is time to use money, use the bit from the last few years, and leave the stocks. If markets go into a bull market again, and there is enough money saved, the account will be more, as compared to selling some that might go up.

    • @_loki

      @@ghostoferlock Agreed 100% with the last part. We are 100% stocks right now with about 15 years to go. We should hit the 4% rule about 4 years before we plan to retire. I see no benefit to bonds right now as we are far ahead of our curve. I plan to add bonds in the last ~5 years through moving contributions heavily to bonds. If things go well, we can buy a very nice lake house. If things do not go as well, we buy a less-nice lake house or none at all worst-case. But if we were behind the curve, I would not be so aggressive -- which is where I disagree with the whole premise that "you should invest the same no matter how much you have to invest".
      That said, I'm not sure many people do a rigid first-in, first-out approach as you mention. There are too many factors in play -- taxable/non-taxable accounts. SS. etc. I think the most important thing to do is to (1) pull from stocks/bonds at the right times (up/down markets) and then (2) pull in such a way that creates consistent tax loads every year.
