Good Stuff RAIDERS.. Personally, I don't get much into the statistics of the S&P500 on its seasonal or monthly performances, etc. I'm a buy and hold kind of guy that rarely sells. I look for opportunities to buy when others are fearful (kudos to Buffet), and I can go more than a year (like now) without finding any significant buying opportunity. I look for pullbacks of at least 10% to get any interest, and those don't come around all that often , and I'm fine with that. I think your broader point on portfolio re-balancing is an important topic for people. I think lots of folks that own a 401(k) don't ever re-balance their portfolio, and maybe (hopefully) they are in a target date fund if that is the case. Personally, I track my (retirement & taxable) investments performance every 6 months, and log all the data into a spreadsheet . I only re-balance once a year, and only if the performance deviates more than 5% from my target benchmark. There are various schools of thought on this subject, but I am of the opinion that you should let your winners run a little, and if it deviates a little from the target during the year, ... no big deal.

In a world that has Warren Buffet and Jamie Dimon among the biggest bitcoin detractors, and Elon Musk and Mark Cuban as its champions,... I'll stick with the people that have a better understanding of finance. |

BUF really screwed up these past few seasons by putting way too much responsibility on Josh Allen in the running AND passing game. Give the guy a break for christ's sake. Now, they need to reestablish the passing game w Stephon Diggs gone.
They have way too many moving pieces for my liking.. |

Belichick was awesome on Pat McAfees draft special. Never have you heard this guy speak so much and talk football, and in this case draft picks ( including their shortcomings). |

@Indigo999 Like you, I have some trepidation on Caleb Williams . I didn't come away overly impressed w his QB talent as much as lots of people in the limited games I watched. Penix is much better . And I don't care much for his " primadonna " flashy, self interest, either This guy displays none of the characteristics of another recent rookie like C.J. Stroud. For every Stroud in the 1st round, you seem to get 19 Ryan Leaf's. Also, CHI were in the 1st quartile for sacks given up in 2023. Somebody in Chicago or that watched lots of Bears games last year needs to enlighten us if their OC us woeful, or did Fields hang on to the ball in the pocket too long ? I realize CHI has weapons at WR, but rookie QBs always have a helluva time adjusting to the speed of the NFL game. I have the impression that CHI is a bit overvalued to make the playoffs at basically even money, considering the NFC teams in front of them. |

@Indigo999 Great write-up on the draft on those teams ... It's funny, I had the exact same 3 words come out of my mouth on the Chargers after the first round of the draft... "" Ground And Pound"". I mean , this team had the 5th pick in the draft,..... and they pick a giant of offensive linemen. If that doesn't send a message to what they are looking to achieve, nothing will. I mean, they lost 2 pretty damn good WRs in the offseason ( Mike Williams & Keenan Allen), and Harbaugh has the guts to say we will rebuild from the inside out. I've always been a big believer that " the trenches" are the most underappreciated part of Football. The " big uglies" dont get a whole lotta love ( shout out to Zeppelin), but giving the QB 1 extra second in the pocket can be the difference maker to making the completion to " an average " wide receiver, so I get the Harbaugh pick. Plus, a good OL can push the line in the running game. Like I said, it's an under appreciated part of the game. Oh, and the Chargers signed BOTH RAVENS RBs Dobbins and Gus Edwards. I love it, and can't wait to see the pieces work together. |

He is tied with Jeff Fisher for the most losses in the NFL as a head coach. And that's hilarious. He rode Tom's coattails for 21 years and Belichick knows he did. At least Popovich admits he can't win without parker, ginobili, robinson, and Duncan. Belichick won't admit he can't win without Brady, even though his record proves it. I'm not angry, I'm laughing because Bill Belichick didn't get hired, and he's not going to get hired. Nobody wants him, and that's hilarious to me Belichick has had 'shit for QBs, besides Brady if course, which is why I continue to pound the table at this is a QB driven sport. Bill is no dipshit,; you can listen to him and learn so much. He is unafraid to talk about someone's deficiencies as much as their attributes. I personally think he is a great coach. That being said, we have no idea what he is asking for in a new coaching position. Is he asking for more control than team's are comfortable with ? Is he just too old ? I think it's probably a combination of both, but make no mistake, this guy is a coaching legend, and very interesting to hear his thoughts on football. |

The Chiefs can't seem to catch a break with their WRs. Last year they struggled w/ consistency until their playoff run.. Now, one of their playmakers, Rashee Rice w/ his dumb street/freeway race in Dallas, faces an uncertain future in the NFL this year (and forever?) |

You really need to find another job. YOU are incapable of performing YOUR job because you are nothing more than a partisan hack, that stands up for all DEMS. Do US all in favor and relinquish your job to someone that isn't as biased as you. You have nothing but hatred for those that speak of common sense against your party of incompetence. That is on YOU,.... not me. It's long overdue for you to 'man up and step aside. You are incompetent in the political forum to pass any judgment

"" Without public health measures"" = lockdowns No. thank you. I think we learned our lesson the first time around.... well, at least most of us did. The CDC should be defunded for not having a comprehensive plan for a pandemic. What are they doing for the other 364 days in the year ? The 1 day we need them, we hear off the cuff remarks from Debra Birx and Tony Fauci .... NEVER AGAIN !! and yet, we have people on this site that think that was the solution.
Did I mention earlier that the DEMS are a 'nutty bunch ? |

... and the "insurrection" nonsense. It's the first time in history an attempt to overthrow a government has been done w/ flagpoles and cardboard signs. The press, democrats, and common sense thinkers that falls for this B.S. should be ashamed of themselves.
Dems sure are a 'nutty bunch. |

Absolutely, I agree.. It would be smart to take abortion off the ballot, and focus on the "guns & butter issues," Biden is an absolute loser, here (and practically all areas. Lol).
But DeSantis's 6-week abortion ban in FL has its high court now ruling that an amendment protecting abortion rights will be on the Florida ballot in November. I like DeSantis, but strategically, a 6 week abortion ban is out of touch w/ lots of people in America, and probably FL , too (including Republicans). Now, this ballot initiative potentially puts FL in play for Dems in the presidential election. Nothing like an abortion issue to bring out the single, urban, female voter. Just dumb from a strategic point of view.
As a Republican, I think I take a different stance on abortion than most other Republicans. For starters, overturning Roe V. Wade IMHO was like unnecessarily kicking a hornet's nest. I get the argument from folks that the issue is now residing to "the states" where it should be. But I look at this way. Republicans (or conservatives in SCOTUS) have now taken away a right that was granted to a class of people for almost 50 years.... in this case, women. Whether someone agree/disagrees with the original decision in the 70s isn't even the point. A right has now been taken away, and left to that woman's state to decide this issue. Not good.

Guess they are all ignorant, gullible and losers according to you. Are you a doctor or play one on TV? The TDS in here is getting worse for many and really hope they seek help. If not for them, for their family's sake. It must be hell living like that and around that much hatred, jealousy and envy. Have a nice day and hope your #22 post is delightful as #21. Agreed... What will happen once Trump wins again ? |
