• I’m just glad I found HD..I get so much great information and much of it comes from Dick and JC…The big item in investing that we will continue to see tremendous growth are active ETF’s.

• This is good information to keep in the back of my pocket. Dick, I will be 61 in June and have been retired since 01/22. i utilize the exchange here in Pa and have an EPO gold plan thru Highmark. Our premium for me and my wife is $1700 per month. But the subsidy is $1300 per month..it’s worked very nicely for us and I hope to be able to continue this until 65. Right now I believe if you keep your income under 70k per year you will be entitled to a subsidy.

• I could relate to everything you are saying. Now I need to read the book! Don’t feel it’s self absorption at all…when you say yes to others, make sure you are not saying no to yourself

• Excellent information. Regardless of the trials and tribulations we have gone thru as a nation over the last 50 years, companies like Coke,Kimberly Clark,Johnson and Johnson,Black and Decker have continued to pay and raise their dividend every year for over the past 50 years. Yes, boring can be beautiful

• Always had respect for Capital Group. The income fund of America is a good balance fund. American Funds do a good job long term

• I have been retired for two years and see no reason to move my 401k to a self directed IRA or rollover to an another financial institution and advisor. Many of these advisors don’t even build their own portfolios. They use company models that have been pre-selected. They keep expense ratios down, but still charge at least 1% for AUM. Basically for a million dollar portfolio they “click a button” and earn 10k
