Reverse investment compounding. I've never read inflation referred to as that. Makes intuitive sense. I'll add only to combat it, the majority of my investments are in stocks, TIPS, and I-Bonds.
As the famous TV judge often said, 'We have two ears and one mouth for a reason.' And while we're at it, the focus should be to listen to understand, and not listen to respond.
Ah yes, Small Cap Value. I've often read of it as a leading, if not top performer over time. Also one of only a few asset classes where active management is recommended. Never pulled the trigger on it though either because the fund expense ratio was too high or the yield - which I always chase - was too low. Wish I'd had the patience.
Don't know how much is enough but given the level of short-term rates, deciding is doubly tough. Just the same, I still carry a $100 bill in my wallet.
Agreed. After moving residences for instance, felt overwhelmed by the mess and reorganization ahead but by doing a little bit every day, I now know where everything is again. Never forgot how a former boss phrased it as, "making a dent."
