If you only do 60% bogleheads, can you call it boglehead? The other 40% of your portfolio is the antithesis of what boglehead believes. Not saying it’s wrong, I just got a kick out of you saying 60% boglehead.

To me that’d be like saying you’re 60% faithful to your wife (or similar), in that if you only do it 60% of the time, can’t really claim it.

Yes and no...my 3 biggest takeaways from years on the bogleheads forum is 1) diversify 2) avoid fees and 3) don't try to time the market. The 'antithesis of what boglehead believes' would be broker managed portfolio of ~30 individual stocks where you are churning >20% of your positions each year.

DJT (Trump media) down 2.3% today to reach 21.77 (as of this moment). It now has lost 55% in the last 3 months. What a shame.

I will add that it truly is a shame that a large portion of people who otherwise cannot afford to lose their savings dumped a ton of money into this stock just on the view that it would support their dear leader. This is despite absolutely horrendous fundamentals that they wouldn’t have understood anyway even if they did look at them.
 

Target said Wednesday that sales grew about 3% in its fiscal second quarter, a return to growth after a prolonged stretch of sluggish sales and squeezed profits.

The discounter beat Wall Street’s earnings and revenue expectations, as shoppers made more visits to Target’s stores and website and bought more discretionary items like clothing.




Even so, the company stuck by its previous full-year sales forecast and struck a cautious note. Target said it expects comparable sales for the full year to range from flat to up 2%, but said it now expects the increase will likely be in the lower half of the range.

Target raised its profit guidance, however, saying it expects adjusted earnings per share to range from $9 to $9.70, up from the previous range of $8.60 and $9.60.

Shares rose more than 10% in premarket trading as Target showed improvement in generating profits.

On a call with reporters, Chief Operating Officer Michael Fiddelke said Target took a “measured approach” with its outlook because it’s hard to predict consumers’ mindsets and the state of the economy in the coming months.

“While we’ve been pleased with our performance so far this year, and our view of the consumer remains largely the same, the range of possibilities and the macroeconomic backdrop in consumer data and in our business remains unusually high,” he said.

I guess the MAGA boycott of Target is over now? Who are we kidding, we all know that wal mart is the store of choice by that audience.
 
Thoughts and prayers to Trump supporters in this very difficult time of interest rate reductions, surging stock markets, lowering prices, and a booming economy that is the envy of the world. We shall overcome.
