The one risk is that the Federal Reserve should have started raising rates a long, long time ago so now they may have to play catch up. That being said, people freaking out over 3% rates on the 10 year bond are idiots. |

How do you guys determine whether to use a stop loss vs stop limit order?

There has been a lot of talk in the past week about how the broad use of these by the casual investor and metrics based algorithms actually contributed to the decline by making the selloff a self fulfilling prophecy. Ultimately comes down to whether you anticipate a continued and prolonged drop below previous levels, or if you (as I do) foresee a somewhat expedient recovery. |

So maybe a new topic that hasn't been expanded on lately, for those of us who work with financial advisors:
We're entering a new market that we haven't been through for a while. Perhaps, gone are the days of blindly picking an ETF linked to the S&P500 and being able to return 20%. In an era of potentially elusive returns, what advantage do you see in having an FA choose an allocation appropriate for you within a fund family and paying the sales charge for an A share, vs choosing an actively managed fund with a higher yearly wrap fee that can theoretically keep your portfolio constantly balanced, and (depending on how aggressive your strategy) position the portfolio to take advantage of opportunities based on that particular firm's research? From a pure numbers perspective, an A share's upfront commission would buy you approximately 3 years worth of management in an actively managed portfolio. Since the actively managed portfolio assesses the fees as you go, more of your money is invested earlier on, so you're better able to capture gains early on. After the first 3 years, is the fee worth it? If we look at the last couple years I wouldn't think so, but in a more challenging market that expertise may be able to seek out higher returns. Thoughts? |

And i realize that although the more money they make you the more they make for themselves but they aren't as attached. I just don't believe in buying stocks or mutual funds and not keeping an eye on performance. what good is a stock that you bought at $20 and over 10 years goes up to $70 but at the end of the 10 years it's sitting at $20 again .

I'm taking about actively managed portfolios with aggressive strategies. Kind of like a hedge fund lite. EJ will sell you a mutual fund but that thing probably won't adapt to the market like active mangement. |

For anyone who doesn't know, Pete is referencing some terms relating to an approach to the stock market generally called "technical analysis". To a large degree it relates to trying to focus more on the psychology of the INVESTORS themselves, and not the actual fundamental strengths or weaknesses of the companies, or the economy as a whole. (that is a gross oversimplification). Most experts don't hold technical analysis in high regard, though it has gained more traction generally over the last 10 or whatever years. https://www.investopedia.com/university/technical/

I may be misunderstanding, but I think he means he's putting a small amount into an account EJ manages -- or where they make recommendations -- and a vastly larger amount into an ETrade account which he will use to mirror what EJ is doing/recommending. That way he pays the 2% fee on only a small portion of the total amount that is being invested using the EJ strategy.
