If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Between Jim "retiring" and TMF changing its format, I decided I was done reading any forums.
Fast forward the better part of a year... Last night I was thinking about an old post of Jim's: his idea that a retirement portfolio could simply be comprised of equal parts of BRK, RSP, and QQQE. (If memory services, perhaps a 4th or 5th yet-to-be-determined component.)
So I searched the internet for that post and I landed here! You guys resurrected TMF! Same old format. Same folks.
Is this heaven? Iowa? Regardless, I am so glad you guys are all here. I am glad I found you.

Outstanding post, Beaniac! Welcome! My sense is that Jim has leaned more towards QQQE over RSP based on his data and projected returns when the valuations are similar and make sense.
I've allocated that portion of my assets directed towards an index towards QQQE over the last 3+ years (although SPY has a sig. larger allocation due to multiple purchases years ago in a taxable account and pre-Jim's influence and data). Last added to QQQE (@$62.10) June '22 and it has delivered over 27% since. Seems to complement a large BRK position nicely when it's valuation is not stretched.

Thanks for that WEB. About the same time as you, I bought a 5% position in QQQE for my MIL. Should've bought some in my own. Over the past year, as the large tech companies have bounced back, I've migrated a good portion of those holdings to SPY and to a lesser extent: SCHG.
My portfolio is basically becoming BRK, SPY, and a small position in SCHG. As I said above, perhaps I should have bought QQQE for myself. Well, there will be another decline at some point.
Thanks again for the welcome.
