s******e 发帖数: 2181 | 2 最近股市萎靡,买啥都不保险,也许还要亏。
建议大多数时间都持stable value cash,你的Short-Term Reserves也许类似。然后等
时机,靠投机赚一笔,然后立刻再买回stable value。
我星期三看见纳指冲高,本打算sold out funds全转成stable value,结果被manager
喊去开会,一转身忘了这件事,结果周四跌惨了,损失一千刀。。。。:( |
M********r 发帖数: 278 | 3 Your current allocation is fine except there is some redundancy. If I were
you, I would simply use 500 index (90%) and total bond index (10%). If you
want to have a value or growth tilt, then add either value index or growth
index.
You may also include international and US small cap to your portfolio. But
it's totally fine without them
Your current bond percentage is 10%. So you have to understand this is a
very aggressive allocation and you should be prepared for the consequence.
As long as you are ok with the risk level, 10% even 0% bond allocation
shouldn't be a problem.
401K is for retirement. The worst thing you can do is to time the market and
do it wrong. You can probably time the market correctly once in while. But
ask yourself: can I time the market correctly every time?

s******e 发帖数: 2181 | 4 It's always easy to time the market for a short term to earn small money.
Cumulating will end up with a considerable profit.
Broad allocations do reduce the risk of losing money, but you truss yourself
up with the Index. Especially that when it is so clear that the Index will
be falling, you will be definitely losing money if still hold an old
strategy of past a few years. Time is changed. Find an appropriate strategy
for present.

应该怎样调整401K?

a. 不动
b. 转成bond
2. 将来的投入
a. 不动,还是投到 index fund
b. 投到bond

w***n 发帖数: 1519 | 8 I suggest to take a look at the target funds. Even if you want to do it
yourself, the target funds give you a good reference on what exposure you
may consider. They are probably using four funds, if they haven't made
changes since last time I looked, which you can check yourself:
1. Total domestic stocks
2. Total intl stocks
3. Total domestic bonds
4. Total intl bonds
You don't have a total domestic index, but you can use Vanguard 500 Index
and extended market to build one yourself.
As MinaHarker pointed out, the risk level is tricky. It'll probably take at
least a full market cycle to let you really understand how much risk you can
take, or for that matter, whether you have a sound strategy. One extended
bull market makes lots of guys thinking they don't need bonds, or even
themselves are genius and know how to time the market. This recency bias is
dangerous.
Having said that, 10% or 0% bond should be okay if you can stomach the
volatility. When you are young, your salary and monthly contribution allow
you to keep accumulating and to be aggressive. |

M********r 发帖数: 278 | 10 With VG target retirement funds, you get exposure to a basket of great index
funds, automatic rebalacing and age dependent risk adjustment. And all
these comes with a mere cost of 0.18%. I would argue this is a bargain. of
course I can manage my own portfolio and save 10 basis points. but for
novices or those who would rather spend time on other things, these funds
are great investment vehicles. Fund managers do make good money. Many don't
deserve it. But for low cost good services such as the VG target date funds,
I just cant see why one would feel being ripped off.

w***n 发帖数: 1519 | 12 Vanguard has a different structure than others. It's owned by its funds/
clients. That's why even the target funds incur very low cost. The target
funds in my 401K plan all have an ER of 0.06%. It's next to impossible for
retail investors to beat that else where.
I do still avoid target funds, but it's for other reasons. I don't like that
a committee can decide what I own in my portfolio. One day they decide it's
a good idea to own international bonds and then I'll have to own that? I
like to cherry pick.
Still, for novice who doesn't have much of a clue how/what to invest, VG
target funds are among the best choices. |

s******e 发帖数: 2181 | 14 不动和stock fund之间滚动。不管1还是2
不动是为了falling的时候守住你的家财
切换进stock fund需要等待和看准时机,每次falling到一个点后总会有些反弹,顺势
捞上一笔。
4M兄的建议是从来不买bond

which is possible but very difficult and not for everyone.
There sure can be other winning strategies, but if you are focusing on day-
to-day fluctuations, and even panicking over some funds' dividend
distribution, I can tell you it won't work. It's not even a strategy imo. I
know you are going to say you made money doing so. Wait for at least a few
more years. That's why I brought up the 10+ years vs 10+ months.

w***n 发帖数: 1519 | 19 "buy and hold是寄望于股票长期是看涨的"
That's not the entire point. One important missing part is that mistiming
can be very costly. As I was saying, capturing the major turning points can
be better than buy and hold, but you need to be able to do it, consistently,
in the first place. Jumping in and out and focusing on day-to-day
fluctuations are self-destructing to the portfolio. Have you been trading
long enough to have experienced some sort of losing streaks? If you have,
you will understand what I said. If not, wait to see the effects of luck
getting averaged out a bit first. A couple of full market/economic cycles
will do. At the bare minimum, have you at least back-tested your strategy
for a few decades? If you don't have a clearly-defined one, but are instead
just making instantaneous decisions on the fly, that's just fear/greed
taking place.
Either way, I wish you luck trading whatever way you want.

w***n 发帖数: 1519 | 24 Years ago, an acquaintance (a rookie at the time) told me this: "How hard

" That's just ignorant. He gets better and better and no longer says that
any more.
Every single year in the past a few, people have been saying: "Look, this
bull market has been going on for x years. The average duration of a bull
market is y years. It's about to crash very soon. In this May!... August, no
, September. Damn it, before Thanks Giving..." That's just as ignorant.
Market has a way to fool most of the participants for majority of the times,
especially for those always feel the urge of taking some actions and those
always need instant gratifications. I know most people believe they are
above average, and they are definitely the exceptions. The truth is they are
not, we are not, I am not. Buy and hold doesn't solve all the problems, but
at least it lets you focus on the big picture and don't get fooled as often

w***n 发帖数: 1519 | 27 If you ask me, I would say bonds' valuation is much worse than stocks'. My
opinion doesn't matter, however. The expectation of interest rate hike has
been there for quite a while, what's happened is VNQ and TLT both had a good
run last year. Waiting on the side line actually costs a lot, although one
didn't really "lose" money on that bet. What could cost more is when one
eventually can't take it any more and jump in right before a correction and
then sell out near the bottom.

w***n 发帖数: 1519 | 49 Not sure whether you realize this, but there is a big difference between
goodbug's method and your method.
That is a trend-following system, which if one follows that particular
signal, he would have been holding for quite several years (I don't even
need to look at the chart to know it probably never signaled a sell signal
in this bull cycle). In other words, you buy with an intention to hold
indefinitely, till you are forced out when the major trend changes. For a
good stock picker, that could mean significant outperformance, for periods
like this.
Panicking over a few days' weakness is a totally different story. These so-
called "大红线" happens all the time even during strongest secular bull
cycles. Even if you just joined the game and haven't experienced these
yourself, just take a look at a chart of any index or any big winning stock,
you will see plenty of occasions like that, only much more severe. Even if
you bought an AAPL when it first rolled out ipod, and again iphone, I bet
you would be selling within 2 weeks and not be able to make much money.
Trend following or momentum trading is not free though. It's just a tradeoff
. Max draw-down is controlled, which is a plus, but you run at the risk of
being whipsawed and churned. If there is truly a holy grail like that,
everyone would be super rich, except for the analysts because the fund
managers are just staring at charts by themselves and don't need fundamental
analysis. LOL

like when you retire).
you will rebalance and adjust the portfolio when you age....although there
is theory that you adjust your asset allocation based on the economic trend.
..but it is beyond investment 101...
is my understanding above correct?

w***n 发帖数: 1519 | 52 I don't think a boglehead investor would care about trend/momentum, or any
other particular market anomaly. It's about investing with simplicity,
diversifying, and staying with the course.
Of course, many want to tweak and add some parameters into it,
so that they feel that this becomes now their own strategy, which should
have been optimized because most people are self-considered above average
and deserve outperformance for that.
I believe you'll be fine if you just stay true to the boglehead philosophy.
Momentum, however, is quite unique and interesting, if you understand the
risk and would like to explore some alternatives. Unlike other anomalies,
this one actually strengthens itself when more people follow. It's in human
nature.

w***n 发帖数: 1519 | 58 I thought I gave credit to trend following. I myself has been using it for
my individual stocks. What I'm not a big fan is jumping in and out
frequently.
The philosophy behind B&H to my understanding is as long as the economy or
the particular company will grow x amount over y years, it will take you
from A to B (the levels are of course vague). It doesn't matter during the
process how choppy or smooth the curve looks like. In fact, when valuation
becomes better because of fear/uncertainty/whatever reason, it creates
opportunities for you to add on your bets and benefit from it. I can't say
the same about trend following. Just saying... Gee...I'm still using trend
following to an extent, but at least I understand the limitations of these
strategies, not that I'm arguing for the sake of arguing.
I'm sure you did backtest, that's great. I'd venture to guess that most
smart guys that enjoy trading have had a crazy time doing all kinds of back
tests trying to find the holly grail. During the process, all kinds of
erroneous conclusions have been made when the fabulous model suddenly doesn'
t work for additional out-of-sample data, a different market, or a different
time period. Been there, done that. I'll just leave it that way.

g*****g 发帖数: 34805 | 60 I am sure economy will grow. But you don't know if the index is a fair
reflection.
Nasdaq in 2000 is an example, DJI in 1929 is an example. Taiwan index in
1990s is an example. It's been 20+ years for Taiwan and it hasn't recovered.
At the end of the day, I'd take backtest over hearsay and personal
experience. Most traders lose money because they become emotional in front
of the market and they can't stick to their model. General market won't
change for a long time frame, because greed and fear are human nature and
they can't be changed, and no institute would be able to manipulate that
either.

In this article the author back tested a 60/40 portfolio from 1926 to 2015
in two segments, 1926-1980, 1976-2015. Average returns in rolling ten year
periods are 8.8% (1926-2015), 7.1% (1926-1980), 10.6% (1976-2015) (note:
fed fund rate topped in 1981)
http://awealthofcommonsense.com/real-risk-6040-portfolio/
In the 2nd arttcle, the author tested a 60/40 portfolio from 1948-2014 and
found annualized returns are 8.1% (1948-1981) and 10.9% (1982-2014)
So it's safe to say that overall return of a 60/40 portfolio is around 7%,
regardless of interest rate cycles.
Of course, return in the downward interest rate cycle is better. also a 60/
40 portfolio returned less than 3% in five percent of all rolling ten-year
periods since 1926 and there were five separate ten-year periods where
returns were less than 1%. This says to me that a 60/40 portfolio is not 100
% all weather. Bit odds are pretty darn good (95%).
The 2nd paper also says that " (in terms of range of return), not much of a
difference between the rising and falling rate environments in these returns
. What’s interesting to note is that the worst 10 year returns for both
periods came right after huge bear markets in stocks – 1974 in the first
instance and 2008 in the second one. And this is the reason that bonds are
not the biggest risk to a 60/40 portfolio. It’s always going to be stocks
that carry the largest risks for investors"
