Thread: Tsunami's Account Talk

This sounds pretty cool and I plan to get the $99 software. The nerd in me will love it and it will provide countless hours of staring at my computer, trying to tweak and perfect what my own spreadsheets are telling me about retirement spending plans. It sounds useful for anyone approaching retirement, already retired, or planning to someday...which I suppose is everyone LOL.

Some odds and ends...

An update on Maxifi Planner, I bought it, spent part of a weekend playing with it and really love it. It's perfect for the do-it-yourself type and now I feel no need to hire a financial planner as I enter retirement next year. It confirmed all my spreadsheets and will help me maximize discretionary spending through retirement.

I hadn't heard of this until today...made me think, I could go full circle... I started out my working career as a boxboy then a stockman/checker...then with a piece of paper in hand bloop I became a nuclear engineer...consultant...environmental engineer...general engineer and all-around guru..hey, why not, now I can do whatever the F I want and can become a professional grocery shopper! I actually like the challenge of minimizing grocery costs and could say it's part of the equation of why I'm retiring at 58. I see they operate on the Space Coast of Florida where the wife and I are headed...hmm...

This idea has been bounced around forever, could it actually happen? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/30/u...cuts-rich.html

The Nasdaq's oscillator is now oversold enough for a bottom, but once in a while the frog likes to jump to the lower Bollinger Band. I wonder if that will happen after Apple's earnings on Wednesday. Hmm...if it does that would set the center post of a new "T" for a good rally into the fall...

The charts are certainly in a position to support a significant drop, hmm....

86 more work days to go, including 10 telework days. Got my retirement form filled out and ready to go. I have the one and only position in my office that HQ's actually approves hiring a replacement for early, so there's time for overlap and training; that should happen within a few weeks with a direct hire. The year is passing by quickly!

Good luck with your retirement! I highly recommend it. Plenty of time for fishing!

Wow, grocery checker to nukuler engineer. (using the vernacular some politicians use and many teachers used over the years) Sounds like you done good Tsu. Good luck in the future as a shopper or whatever.

The real reason for replying is I have 84 work days to go with 4 safety award days. Those are actual days off so I win with 80 work days! I have not filled out the retirement form yet. On my list for this month. SF3107?

My agency has not advertised an open position on my team much less two other open positions in my craft/series. I am supposed to be getting a team member to shadow my actions but they are seldom available due to the vacancies. They and the agency will survive without me. Amazing to hear some agency will overhire for continuity.

Congrats!!!! I retired at 56 and am 58 now - you will love it - I dig about stocking shelves - did the same along with delivering papers to PM - wish I had time for fishing, too busy cruising around the lake

I don't expect the market to fall apart here, but based on this there's the potential for a short squeeze in bonds.

72 work days to go!

Add this to the long list of articles lately with dire warnings. Hmm....

I’m spending the afternoon cleaning up bookmarks in preps for retirement,finding some old gems and thought I'd post a few…

Investors have gone mad:

No explanation needed, just click the “Animate” button. Two more rate hikes by the Fed will invertthe yield curve then down will go the markets within a short time later. Sell in May and Go Away next year could bethe right timing.

Hmm: https://gbr.pepperdine.edu/2010/08/p...market-cycles/

Maybe 2019 will be the sell in May and stay away year:

The bears want so badly to come out roaring but just can't sustain anything:
