Message:: [QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2285857, member: 71723"]Sounds like your idea is kind of sound, depending on whether your health is toward the "never felt better" end or the "I'm lucky to still be here" end. My uncle is 98 years old and is still "all in" on dividend paying equities, and writing covered call options to boost his yield. I myself fall into the "I'll be astonished to see 65" category, and I'm only two years your junior. By the way, the "big one" is just as likely to be a fastest ever doubling of the S&P as any collapse. There's a lot of untapped productive capacity out there being idled by ill-informed "green" handwringers. You may have never encountered my type. I'm a guy who will overhear a baloney conversation between two people who are complete strangers to me, and I'll interrupt them and tell them they're full of it. It's my thing. Makes Amtrak travel fun. Denizens of this forum may benefit from knowing they're not being singled out for atypical Bellman treatment.[/QUOTE]
