Face it, my call of him being the worst investor on the board is arguably the greatest call of the year!
And yet I'm cruising towards early retirement.
What does that tell you?
Retirement fund now at 13.02% return for year, so it's not like I hid in cash all year long.
Some of you people have had some fun with my blown call - and so have I - and others of you have shown yourself to be mean spirited.

you never said what percentage including all that cash was actually in that retirement account invested and what percentage sat in bonds and cash
for all we know 80% of all you have is in bonds and cash amounting to a much lower overall return if that’s the case once everything is considered

What it tells me is that you missed out on a lot of gains and future compounding that could have potentially eliminated months or even years from early retirement.

I'm probably at 8% for the entire year on everything. Considering what this year could have brought - and what 2024 still may - I'll take it.
I've got better things to do with my time than worry about this nonsense. There's life to live and you make do with what you have instead of worrying about how to get every last dollar you can. IMO
people talking about these 20 percent plus gains yet they are so watered down overall because most of the dough sits in cash at 4-5% .
so this was the kind of thing i was discussing when i started the thread
Who cares though? If they have a bunch of cash that is not intended for investments (not "pulled out" - but not ever going to be invested) then the gains are what they are and the other cash is irrelevant. Might not be the case for BG as I think he moved some investments into cash - but for others, they may have cash that is completely outside of investment funds. The return on their investments is what it is. My returns are correct - it's what I have earned on my investments.
